But like I said, on Twitter, the Twitter folks have already figured out the whole URL shortening thing. Google Analytics even has a URL Builder tool where you can generate a URL with UTM parameters. You can only see how many clicked on the specific short URL to get there. A few well-known websites have set up their own URL shortening services for their own use – for example, Twitter with t.co, and Google with goo.gl.

Doing so generates a tracking link unique to that publisher and offer: What is generated looks something like this: Each part of the affiliate tracking link helps our ad server determine what to do with the traffic when a user follows the link: demo.go2cloud.org - This is the tracking domain of your network, using the provided go2cloud.org domain. aff_c - This part after the domain tells the ad server that this user is clicking through, as opposed to a conversion or impression. offer_id=1001 - In HasOffers, each offer is given an ID number, which is used to connect the click session to the rest of an offer's information. aff_id=2002 - The affiliate ID tells HasOffers which publisher receives credit for the click and the conversion (if the user converts). Tinycc URLs use 301 redirects, which means your browser request will be responded to with a 301 = page moved permanently status code and will forward your browser to this "moved to" address (which we are calling the long URL).

Each time a contact clicks a link in the campaign, the tracking information redirects them through MailChimp's servers and sends them to the intended web address. However, if you only have one domain name (or want to incorporate your business's primary domain name), you can set up the shortener on a subdomain (e.g. subdomain.coolexample.com). Write down this value and the combination title or description it goes with so you can reference it when you view your data in Google Analytics later. Unless you want to track URLs, you have no need to run to an outside website in order to make your URLs smaller, Twitter only counts links for a certain number of characters now.

This can be done online, at the web pages of a URL shortening service; to do it in batch or on demand may require the use of an API. Click the numbers next to each URL to view the contacts who clicked that link in your campaign.
