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. The second condition makes sure that we’re not capturing any relative links that typically looks like href="/some-url-path".
This allows you not just to compare Network-X as a whole, but to see exactly which ad group attracts the best users. Services that don’t do this can end up being blacklisted on major websites which won’t allow links from such services to be displayed.
Google Analytics won't track redirects that don't contain embedded Google Analytics code. Answer that, and your online profits will explode. If the http protocol isn’t visible in the navigation bar, copy and paste the link and it should appear.
How often do you get that kind of data from printed marketing? URL shorteners are nothing new, Tiny URL has been around for 100 years, but WP.me is different in a few ways.
Google Analytics does not track outbound links by default. This is something you’ll often hear from link shortener detractors. This way they can use shortened URLs but still give people confidence about where the link will lead. Google which is a brilliant search engine decided to examine these numerous links and when its crawler discovered that the links were spam links it blacklisted the site and sent it into oblivion. Then once you’re finished, click APPLY and SAVE to generate the new tracking URL before copying it. Instead, they create a “tracking link” that will act as a redirect to the actual landing page or website URL. I could probably go on and on with a dozen more URL shorteners, but lets be honest, you only need one.
