Many people use URL shorteners when they share links to private content, and in fact many web services like Google Maps have offered automatic generation of shortened links for driving directions that reveal personal information like home addresses and sensitive destinations like "clinics for specific diseases (including cancer and mental diseases), addiction treatment centers, abortion providers, correctional and juvenile detention facilities, payday and car-title lenders, gentlemen’s clubs, etc."[34][35] Additional layer of complexity[edit] Short URLs, although making it easier to access what might otherwise be a very long URL or user-space on an ISP server, add an additional layer of complexity to the process of retrieving web pages. Instead of redirecting, an iframe loads a page within another webpage. When using Google Analytics to track your link, the most common setup is to have the Javascript tracking code for Google Analytics placed on a page where your contacts visit. For example, if the user clicks on “sales@wearefine.com”, that’s what Google Analytics will record.
However, if the ad_id parameter is omitted entirely from the tracking link, then HasOffers generates a typical transaction ID for the click session. As all your Bitly created URLs are saved to your account, you can actually monitor the traffic those URLs are getting. Fortunately, we can gather outbound link details ourselves. In this article: Using Google Tag Manager If you use Google Tag Manager to manage your Analytics tracking, follow the instructions in Analytics Events to implement events. Hootsuite users will see their links shortened, but non-Hootsuite users can also use the shortener.

Perhaps, you can try improving your ad and then do A/B testing. After the address has been highlighted, press Ctrl+C or Cmd+C on the keyboard to copy it. If you have used either the UTM tracker or outbound link tracking in the past, then let us know of your experience. You could create a complex UTM code structure for a link but then shorten it via Bitly and use the link on a piece of direct mail.
Shortening links for Twitter simply means reducing its length and at the same time, it still works correctly. Yet, without a tracker, you’re unable to identify users that have visited your webpage organically. Other Helpful Macros If you have sites that you frequently link out to or have partnerships with, you might want to roll up the click events by domain name.
