Undo Undo Shorten URL @ShortenURL 11 May 2011 More Statistics for Wednesday, May 11, 2011 Thanks. This is a nice extra feature if branding is important to you or if you want to make your link easier to memorize.
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. Like open tracking, it can help measure subscriber engagement. You will need to make sure you have the standard google tracking script on your page too.
Generate Tracking Link: Copy the link and use it in your newsletter e-mail. Tip You don't need to use this page every time you need to create a custom tracking link. In order to form the key, a hash function can be made, or a random number generated so that key sequence is not predictable. A total of five parameters are automatically appended when you enable Google Analytics: utm_campaign: will automatically be the name of the campaign as it appears in Sailthru. utm_medium: will automatically be “email”. utm_source: will automatically be “Sailthru”. utm_term: will automatically be the name of the sending list as it appears in Sailthru. utm_content: if you are sending an AB Split or AB Winner or Auto Winner Campaign, this utm parameter will be added to your links. But, if you need to shorten some links off of Twitter, or for other reasons, these are all great options.Overview The Google URL Shortener at goo.gl is a service that takes long URLs and squeezes them into fewer characters to make a link that is easier to share, tweet, or email to friends.
It’s one of the earliest link shorteners out there and allows you to customize the actual shortened link (again, if the customization is not yet taken). Hover over the open or click percentage for any sent campaign to see the number of opens or clicks. Maybe you want a simple URL to put in a print add, or want to be kind to mobile readers of your content.
Creating the Link Click Listener The Link Click Listener tag allows you to capture user click events on all or specific targeted links. The short URL can allow blacklisted URLs to be accessed, bypassing site blocks; this facilitates redirection of a user to blacklisted scam pages or pages containing malware or XSS attacks. If you copy and paste this script exactly as it appears here, your outbound clicks will appear in your Analytics Events reports with a Category of "outbound" and an Action of "click". (In the snippet, these are shown in bold.) You can use these values, or change them and define your own values. For example, if the user clicks on “sales@wearefine.com”, that’s what Google Analytics will record. On this page enter your Google Analytics tracking ID and click the Save button. Click the name of the report you want to work with.
