Social Media: Making Twitter URLs trackable in Google Analytics
Many Twitter users make use of desktop & mobile apps so if they visit a link from within an app, this will count as a “direct” visit in the analytics software being used, which isn’t very helpful!
That’s why we need to generate “trackable” URLs. To do so, you can use the URL Builder tool available from Google: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55578 Combine this will the Google URL shortener available here: http://goo.gl/ and you will have a nice and short URL that’s… you guessed it, trackable! These shortened URLs are ideal for use in tweets and Facebook status updates etc…Hope this proves useful! Happy surfing…Posted via email from Web Design High Wycombe, SEO & Marketing | Comment »
