Recently bit.ly announced the addition of a premium service to its URL-tracking system. And a status code is one piece of information exchanged through a header. Typically, it’s used for recording on-page JavaScript-controlled interactivity such as opening a widget or making an Ajax call. Well in this article, we will show you how to track links in WordPress using Google Analytics.
Google usually leaves users with a transition path, but they aren't necessarily going to support legacy links forever. Goo.gl Features Goo.gl allows you to enter a long URL and have it create a shortened version. Linkrot[edit] The convenience offered by URL shortening also introduces potential problems, which have led to criticism of the use of these services. 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. A corresponding placeholder - {label} - allows you to receive the data that you placed in this parameter on the tracker URL. When your campaign arrives in recipients' inboxes, the plain-text click tracking will look something like this example.
Links shared on Twitter, including links shared in Direct Messages, will automatically be processed and shortened to an link. To manage click tracking in the plain-text version of your campaign, check or uncheck Track plain-text clicks. Click Save.

This is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your bookmarks or favorites allow javascript. The process must be fast, not handle clicks which have been deactivated by other processes and ensure links work even if the Analytics event fails. Add Tracking to Email Campaign Archives and Pages To add Google Analytics tracking to your email campaign archives and pages, follow these steps.
I think this was due largely to the fact that as momentum built and people discovered their friends were all going, tickets skyrocketed. You can also get a general overview of both open and click statistics from the Campaigns page in your account. Once you've found a domain you like, you'll need to register it. Many web developers pass descriptive attributes in the URL to represent data hierarchies, command structures, transaction paths or session information. You can also share files, images and videos easily with Ow.ly in all sorts of different formats. Or you can block links to your site from these sites. Take the tracker ID of the second tracker and add it to the end, separating it with an underscore. This allows the company to push brand awareness on services such as Twitter but use the Bitly engine to generate the shortened URLs and track marketing metrics.[7] Bitly Enterprise also has advanced analytics features and uses Bitly data to provide advanced social insight tools for companies and brands.
