First thing you need to do is install and activate the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin. Shortening services come and go, and you don't want to risk having live links disabled because the app that was forwarding them went out of business.
If a user renames a file, it breaks the links to the file. This can be overcome by making the service a reverse proxy, or by elaborate schemes involving cookies and buffered POST bodies, but such techniques present security and scaling challenges, and are therefore not used on extranets or Internet-scale services.[original research?] Services[edit] Open source and commercial scripts are also available for redirecting and shortening links, usually written in PHP as a web application or a plugin for one of the popular applications such as Wordpress. If everything is set up correctly in Google Analytics, a record of this visit should appear in your Google Analytics account. Each Adjust tracker can segment users up to four levels deep: Network-level trackers are your top segments that you create in the dashboard; Campaign-level trackers are the 2nd level of segmentation, appearing right below your network segment in your dashboard; Adgroup-level trackers are the 3rd; and Creative-level trackers are the 4th. You’ll play a “prove you’re human” game before your shortened link is produced. Use this field to describe the type or location of the link.
In order to get the most out if this URL shortener you can integrate it with its parent service. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. This field should be used to compare broad categories of marketing you do (or may do in the future), like emails, cpc ads, postcards, etc. If you’re logged in you can also get the shortlink for any page on WordPress.com, there’s a link under the “Blog Info” menu in your admin bar.
Before you get started, be sure to plan out your events first. With the URL Shortener API you can write applications that use simple HTTP methods to create, inspect, and manage goo.gl short links from desktop, mobile, or web. Go to Admin > Edit Posts, hover over the post link, look at the status bar, the number at the end of the URL is the post ID.
The way out is just the answer to the title of this post. For example The New York Times uses “nyti.ms” for their short domain. We help Affiliates to monitor, compare and optimize all their online marketing campaigns in one place and decide what is working and what is not. But now I have the option to make special mistake-proof short links for print purposes.
