The name of the computer that holds the link source is renamed. As an example, their tracking system could have a session ID macro that you use to replace "CLICKID", and another macro for a unique user hash that you use to replace "UNIQUEVALUE". Setting the transport method to 'beacon' lets the hit be sent * using 'navigator.sendBeacon' in browser that support it. */ var trackOutboundLink = function(url) { ga('send', 'event', 'outbound', 'click', url, { 'transport': 'beacon', 'hitCallback': function(){document.location = url;} }); } You'll also need to add (or modify) the onclick attribute to your links.
You’ll play a “prove you’re human” game before your shortened link is produced. 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. I can even include retargeting (remarketing) in the same link.
Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. If a link is never used on the internet or shared publicly then it doesn't exist in a cyber sense.
Now let’s quickly see how to shorten links on Twitter in the easiest and user-friendly way possible. You can modify these in the ga call if necessary (lines 24 to 26).
Thus, short URLs may be more convenient for websites or hard copy publications (e.g. a printed magazine or a book), the latter often requiring that very long strings be broken into multiple lines (as is the case with some e-mail software or internet forums) or truncated. There are security implications, and obsolete short URLs remain in existence and may be circulated long after they cease to point to a relevant or even extant destination.
