In this example, we want to use several newsletters such as the "jan2018-newsletter" campaign name, which is the ‘c’ parameter in the tracking link. You are also able to use the same tools such as bookmarklets and third-party apps using their API with your custom domain name. Some URL shorteners offer a time-limited service, which will expire after a specified period.
TweetDeck and Seesmic (TweetDeck’s direct competitor) both offer numerous URL-shortener options (bit.ly, is.gd, TinyURL, and twURL), but only bit.ly offers click tracking. Facebook has this new colored status background feature that works when your status is short and straight to the point. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.
The customized bit.ly version allows you to use your own domain name for branded short links which can be easily shared on Twitter, Facebook or other social media sites. Under Tracking, click the Google Analytics link tracking box. You can set your own custom expiration dates with any premium account.

This automatic behavior provides the best possible experience to your app users who open goo.gl links, no matter what platform or device they are on. Or you can use a utility to display all the backlinks to your site and copy them from there. This is the title that will show in your Google Analytics account after the automation is started. It's also important to note that some countries only allow registrations on what's call the third level — .co.uk for example. Our favorite is YOURLS, but Lessn More is another good free option. Instead of posting the "pretty" URL, you can shorten it by removing the "www." and using the post ID in the URL (e.g. "?p=1204").
