To use custom campaigns, you add UTM parameters to your URL which are then recorded in your custom analytics report. Many URL-shortener services offer the option to track how many clicks each link gets. As all your Bitly created URLs are saved to your account, you can actually monitor the traffic those URLs are getting. A friendly URL may be desired for messaging technologies that limit the number of characters in a message (for example SMS), for reducing the amount of typing required if the reader is copying a URL from a print source, for making it easier for a person to remember, or for the intention of a permalink. The general idea people have about Google Analytics is that it tells you how many vistors and pageviews you are getting, where the traffic is coming from, and what content is popular on your website.
Note that all URLs in parameters should be encoded before they are entered as parameters. Any additional parameters like sub IDs or source values that have been added in this panel update the creative ad tag as well.
Email is the medium of this communication, not the source. If the link you are interested in is long (more than 60 characters), copy and paste the URL into a web page that creates a short link. Authenticate your Google Analytics profile or enter UA-Code manually.
Professional marketers never sent traffic directly to their website or landing page. Authorizing requests and identifying your application Every request your application sends to the Google URL Shortener API needs to identify your application to Google.
