Google Analytics URL Tagging Using The Google URL Builder Tool - Tutorial - Phillip J Rhoades

[jamesstat]

Hi Philip, love your plain english, no nonsense approach :) it's much appreciated. I was just wondering, lets say I want to track traffic from a Facebook page or a linkedin page, can I tag the URL's of these pages? I'm guessing it wouldn't work because you cant add the Google Analytics code to these pages right?

@jamesstat If you're linking from Facebook to an outside-of-Facebook page with the analytics code then yes. If you're trying to link to a facebook page from outside of Facebook then no. :) Does that make sense?

Can you then shorten the url and then track it in twitter?

@bosco19701 You can always shorten an URL.
