Using campaign tracking, however, you will be able to analyze your email traffic in great detail. Instead, think of source as a label identifying where the email came from or the kind of email it is. This means you couldn't register, for example, domain.uk. The volume that holds the link source file is moved to another computer within the same domain.
Simply add one of those two services before your URL—j.mp/—and you'll quickly redirect to a page with the shortened version of your link ready to be copied or posted to a social network. You can perform the following operations on object IDs: Creation Deletion Query When you create an object ID, you establish the identity of the file to the link tracking service. For example, a bad campaign name would be "Winter 2009 email" because email is the medium, and it restricts your ability to reuse the same campaign name for other mediums. You can use Analytics Events to track clicks on links that take users to a website other than your own. You can track anyone's goo.gl URL by adding .info to the end of it.

Here are 5 URL Shorteners that I actively use: Bitly: This website allows you to create an unlimited amount of bitlinks, which come with analytics and tracking. Our CTID can be passed through any affiliate network using SubID tracking. You can also pass the CTID to affiliate networks with pixel tracking or postback tracking if the network supports it. This tells you whether it’s working and resulting in actual page views and ticket sales—and whether that money or time is being well spent. Note: As of March 30, 2018, Google's URL shortener is only available to active users, and the data generated by those shortened URLs will only be available until March 2019. You can use click tracking tools, or Google analytics track clicks to external sites to check clicks coming from external links to your website and vice versa. Shortcomings[edit] Short URLs often circumvent the intended use of top-level domains for indicating the country of origin; domain registration in many countries requires proof of physical presence within that country, although a redirected URL has no such guarantee.
Launch your Web browser and go to the Web page for your preferred URL shortening service. But if all the links to you use a shorter version, that sort of defeats the point! For example, you may not have more than 10,000 different values of creative for a particular tracker. See if you are using Classic Analytics (ga.js) or Universal Analytics (analytics.js).
