A client is looking to track advertising clicks through a newspaper ad to measure success.

They have rigid business requirements that it will be a unique domain... e.g. foowidgetsnews.net instead of foodwidgets.com/contact-form-page.php

What is the most reliable method of building redirected url to a landing page so it will be tracked in google analytics as a direct hit from the newspaper?

Finally, we would like to track the foowidgetsnews.net as the main url in google analytics because 301 redirect isn't tracked in google analytics like the way we would like it to.
