STEP 2: Create Tags for Tracking Individual Links You can create tags to track lots of different link clicks: – Email addresses – PDF and file downloads – Social media profiles – All external links, or – Just the most *important* external links – Important calls to action (ex: “Register Now”) – Etc., etc…. Set a custom 404 URL so both search engines and visitors are sent to valid pages on my site when trying to follow any link that doesn't exist. A total of five parameters are automatically appended when you enable Google Analytics: utm_campaign: will automatically be the name of the campaign as it appears in Sailthru. utm_medium: will automatically be “email”. utm_source: will automatically be “Sailthru”. utm_term: will automatically be the name of the sending list as it appears in Sailthru. utm_content: if you are sending an AB Split or AB Winner or Auto Winner Campaign, this utm parameter will be added to your links.
You can also get a general overview of both open and click statistics from the Campaigns page in your account. When a link source is moved, the service passes information to the distributed link tracking server that runs on domain controllers. You publicize this page through twitter, facebook, various banner placement on your website, email newsletter, etc. 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. Tracking ID You can either manually type your unique Google Analytics ID into this field (ex: UA-########-1) or use a convenient macro that plugs this in for you.

(And of course friendly to search engines.) Even if you weren’t using WordPress, the links contain no arbitrary IDs or other platform-specific implementation cruft so they should be trivial to serve from any system, even if you don’t use WordPress in the future.
