In the case that you need this data to be funneled into your own BI systems, you can always use the Adjust label parameter or dynamic callback parameters. Links shared on Twitter, including links shared in Direct Messages, will automatically be processed and shortened to an link. You can also get a general overview of both open and click statistics from the Campaigns page in your account. A circumvention could be that a website provided its own shortlinks instead of relying on a third-party shortening service – but this is not common. Restrict our employee's account access to only the campaigns I want assigned to them.
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. Typically, it’s used for recording on-page JavaScript-controlled interactivity such as opening a widget or making an Ajax call. To add such data, just enter it as the “label” parameter to a tracker URL.
The custom tracking link page enables converting a regular custom tracking link to OneLink™. Top links clicked The URLs that were clicked the most in your campaign. View Click Results on the Links Page The Links page tells you how each URL performed in the campaign. Instead of posting the "pretty" URL, you can shorten it by removing the "www." and using the post ID in the URL (e.g. "?p=1204"). However, in the case of Eventbrite we were pleasantly surprised.
It's useful to know whether your user's screens have such capabilities, so you can build your site accordingly. In the Settings & Tracking section of the Campaign Builder, click Edit. Check the Track clicks box to enable click tracking, or uncheck the box to disable click tracking. Google’s URL Shortener is handy, though it does allow anyone to access the public analytics on each link.
After you click on “Edit” you can change your slug to match whatever keywords (2-5 words are best) you are focusing on in the post. But as Dave Winer articulated, there’s no reason we shouldn’t have a shortener ourselves, and here we are. 🙂 People are already using it. This link example: www.tiny.cc/ contains an error due to the missing protocol. If you are using the newer Universal tracking please refer to the docs. It's also worth considering leaving the most recognizable part of your name spelled out. If you‘re never visited Bitly.com, you might be surprised about what you can do in addition to shortening URLs. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Here at CoSchedule we bought cos.sc as our custom domain, and integrated it with Bit.ly.
