How to include a "utm" tag to a url from a mailshot

I have tried to include a utm tag to my link URL's of some articles from a mailshot as follows.
...../EN/news/104/1010?newsCategoryPK=&mailshotid=092?utm_campaign=mnuMay2013&utm_medium=email
The first tag following /1010 is an own tag for tracking in our CMS.
Analytics did not capture the information. Any suggestions?

Hello adwordsblevinsfrankscom b ! Welcome to the Community !
In your string, that question mark before utm_campaign shouldn't it be a & sign ?
Have you used this tool ?

Hi adwordsblevinsfrankscom,
It appears that your URL ends here .../EN/news/104/1010
And after that tracking ids are used. (generally called querystring- values passed alongwith URL)
Querystring starts with single ? after url. And later on parameters are appended using &
Eg
URL?parameter1=value1¶meter2=value2¶meter3=value3
Your urls seems to have problem
- In your url newsCategoryPK value is nothing as it should appear something like newsCategoryPK=XXX. But this does not hamper other part of the qyeystring
- Ideally URL should be
.../EN/news/104/1010?newsCategoryPK=&mailshotid=092&utm_campaign=mnuMay2013&utm_medium=email
You can refer to this URL builder.

Hi 101questions, further to the replies you've already had, you actually appeared to have two separate problems with the quoted URL.
1) As mentioned already, the ? before the first parameter should be an &.
2) utm_source & utm_name are required parameters.
However, as you've now got the link to the URL builder, if you use that you shouldn't have any further problems.
