Re:Ask HN: How do I know where my mobile downloads are coming from?

I've been using a sort of ghetto hack, so I'm not sure if you want to copy me.
When users land on any of my marketing pages, I cookie them in safari. Then when they open my mobile app, I send them to safari, check if the cookie exists, and then redirect them back to the app. This lets me tie installs back to link clicks.
