Clicking on it will show you a list of outgoing URL(s) users clicked on your website. When you check the box to enable tracking, we'll show the campaign title as it will appear in your Google Analytics account after the campaign is sent.
If a user renames a file, it breaks the links to the file. We can also store your Google Analytics ID to track visits to your campaign pages and hosted campaign archive, so you can see traffic to these pages in your Google Analytics account. Affiliate Click ID & Unique Values Click IDs and other unique values (like user hashes and programmatic API values) often reference individual clicks or sessions in other tracking systems. Our link service measures information such as how many times a link has been clicked, which is an important quality signal in determining how relevant and interesting each Tweet is when compared to similar Tweets. OneLink™ enables using a single link to diagnose and redirect users to different locations based on their devices' type.
You can use Analytics Events to track clicks on links that take users to a website other than your own. Don’t fall for one of those “build your Twitter follower count fast” programs.
A friendly URL may be desired for messaging technologies that limit the number of characters in a message (for example SMS), for reducing the amount of typing required if the reader is copying a URL from a print source, for making it easier for a person to remember, or for the intention of a permalink. Put QR codes on products for our retail customers to scan. In this case you can use Google’s Disavow Link tool in Google Webmaster Tools to let Google know that you don’t approve of that link. If you're comfortable with Web hosting and setting up simple PHP and mySQL applications, there are several free scripts you can use to set up a URL shortener on your own server, giving you much more control. Top-level domains of countries such as Libya (.ly), Samoa (.ws), Mongolia (.mn), Malaysia (.my) and Liechtenstein (.li) have been used as well as many others.
You should see the activity in the Analytics Real-Time > Events panel. The macro below will allow you to grab just the hostname from the outbound URL. Then reconnect with the same interested audience when my sequel is ready to be released. I like Bitly because it has a pretty interface and a login for all of the links you create. By doing this, they can centralize all their landing pages in one tracking application, and make changes instantly without having to go back to the websites or pages. It’s a pain, but the outbound link tracking code shown below won’t work without it. (It could be made to work with legacy Analytics, but it’ll eventually stop working so it’s best to upgrade now.) Custom Event Tracking Analytics supports event tracking. You can read more about this in our guide to deeplinking.
