Google Analytics Link Tracking

Get More Data on Email Referral Traffic to Your Website

When sending a message with Google Analytics™ Link Tracking enabled, you will be able to see how much of your website traffic came from clicking on a link to your website from an email message. Our system will automatically add parameters to the URLs in the message that can help you identify where your website traffic came from. When a subscriber clicks a link in your message, these parameters are sent to your Google Analytics report, which makes it possible to analyze how much of your website traffic came from subscribers clicking a link from your message campaign.

How Google Analytics™ Link Tracking Works

Google Analytics link tracking lets you use the following variables at the end of links: utm_medium, utm_source, and utm_campaign

When you use the Google Analytics Tracking option on an email send, the links will have these parameters automatically added:

• utm_medium is always "email"
• utm_source is either the Email Name, or if there isn't an email name saved, it uses a url safe version of the Subject (both are cut off at 50 characters)
• utm_campaign is the Campaign name typed into the text box on the email send screen
