For example, a standard tracking link like: shortens to something like: You can also append unencrypted parameters to a shortened URL. Sometimes a short URL is useful simply to give someone over a telephone conversation for a one-off access or file download, and no longer needed within a couple of minutes. Understanding which external links are most often clicked on your website will help you understand what kind of information users are looking for. Backlinks are followed by Google's robot to check if it’s a valid link. Namely, I want to make sure that if have an absolute internal URL with www vs non-www that I capture both cases.
WordPress links have the structure they do, which is longer, because they’re meant to be permanent and portable. (And of course friendly to search engines.) Even if you weren’t using WordPress, the links contain no arbitrary IDs or other platform-specific implementation cruft so they should be trivial to serve from any system, even if you don’t use WordPress in the future. See more information about AppsFlyer's Tracking Link Structure and Parameters. In choosing a source, think in terms of broad categories so that you can do roll-up reports for each type of email.

An Alternative To Link Shorteners Perhaps you’d like to avoid using a link shortening service. Also, remember that many services provide 14 day free trial so you can check if it fits your needs before spending any money. Every access requires more requests (at least one more DNS lookup, though it may be cached, and one more HTTP/HTTPS request), thereby increasing latency, the time taken to access the page, and also the risk of failure, since the shortening service may become unavailable. Often the redirect domain name is shorter than the original one. It gives you yet another level of analytics that you can use to base your decisions on. Once this is enabled, you can append the following parameter to your tracking link: url Unlike the url_id parameter, this parameter expects a valid, encoded deep URL to be added for traffic to redirect to: Payout on Click In some cases, you may want to dynamically pass the payout that the publisher receives for a session.
