Can anyone else help me out? Sorry if I'm getting all technical. Tired of basic questions. Time to get our brains working!

Thanks

You can add an ID# to the URL, just keep it short.

I get that but what about adding a mix of #'s and letters?

Notice 868196? What if it was 86DX16?

I was looking around for sources on that aspect.

I DID notice however, that Amazon has that.

Thanks

I think what your looking for is called SKU (stock keeping unit).

Does the place you work for use SKU to ID their products?

Not too sure if it has to do wtih SKU. Actually we haven't implemented URL tracking and parameters as of yet. We're still debating if it should just be #'s OR if we can put a mixture of both.

Having a tough time researching online. All I see are "Basic URL SEO practices" -_-.

I've never seen any indication that adding a product ID number will hurt a ranked page, I don't think it's even close to being a problem.

Adding a product number + with a letter right?

I do not think that the tracking combination matters- whether it be a combination of numbers and letters or pure letters/number only. I have seen Clickbank allowing tracking IDs with a combination of numbers and letters (please see below):
