But like I said, on Twitter, the Twitter folks have already figured out the whole URL shortening thing. In this case, the analytics are public, so you're giving it to everyone. The second reason is because this may or may not be a product with a future. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.
Copy your event page URL from Eventbrite and paste the URL into a new property in your Google Universal Analytics account and copy the created Tracking ID. Transnational law[edit] Shortened internet links typically use foreign country domain names, and are therefore under the jurisdiction of that nation. 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". Many sites that accept user-submitted content block links, however, to certain domains in order to cut down on spam, and for this reason, known URL redirection services are often themselves added to spam blacklists.

The process must be fast, not handle clicks which have been deactivated by other processes and ensure links work even if the Analytics event fails. This will receive an clicked-link events as they bubble up through the DOM.
