Search Engines and Link Indexing Two methods that search engines use to discover links and pages: 1) Webmasters can inform search engines about new links with a submission form. Find the unsubscribe link in your campaign, right click, and copy the link address. All three of these descriptive items will show up in your GA reporting interface, telling you stuff about the link users clicked on. Clicking on it will show you a list of outgoing URL(s) users clicked on your website. It is simple to change your permalink structure, though if you have been blogging for a while you will need to redirect your old URLs to the new permalinks. This point was underscored a few days ago when a popular one, tr.im, announced they were going to shut down at the end of the year.
When using tiny URL, the link must be less than 500 characters or the destination will be cut off. Parts of a URL Note that www. is only a subdomain.

Setting the transport method to 'beacon' lets the hit be sent * using 'navigator.sendBeacon' in browser that support it. */ var trackOutboundLink = function(url) { ga('send', 'event', 'outbound', 'click', url, { 'transport': 'beacon', 'hitCallback': function(){document.location = url;} }); } You'll also need to add (or modify) the onclick attribute to your links. But if all the links to you use a shorter version, that sort of defeats the point! This allows you to compare and optimise different sources. Some email clients impose a length limit at which lines are automatically broken; requiring the user to paste a long URL back together, rather than just clicking on it. This will bring up: A) All linking root domains that are pointing to your PDF B) The page they are linking from C) The domain authority of their site. By tracking links, you can greatly improve your website by getting rid of items that don’t work and optimizing the ones that do.
