Owned media is often a great source for abundant (and mostly free) traffic, but it's equally important to track and measure it properly, to get more installs and better engagements from your new users.

Some offer features that go beyond a basic link shortener.
Here's an example of an affiliate tracking link that includes both of these types of parameters: For the above tracking link, the affiliate would provide the appropriate macros from their tracking system to replace the "CLICKID" and "UNIQUEVALUE" placeholder values. If you don’t have an existing property set up for Eventbrite, use the drop-down menu under "Property" to select "Create new property." You'll reveal a new section called "New Property." If you already have existing classic Google Analytics, you can transfer your properties using a tool Google developed.

With Bitly, you can track how many clicks your shortened links receive, plus bookmark and organize your links on your own personalized Bitly dashboard. Google Analytics won't work if there is a space after the URL in the campaign. As an example, their tracking system could have a macro for ad placement that you use to replace "AFF_SUB", and another macro for traffic source that you use to replace "SOURCE". Autotrack uses events to track outbound link clicks and sets the event label to the link's URL. Spending too much money on AdWords, FaceBook ads and banner ads, but still can’t turn a profit? 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. For example: Services Brochure In the above URL we’ve added the parameter “?pdf=Services-Brochure” to the end of the PDF URL link.
