Monitor Short Links

It's one thing to toss a short Url on a page if you're just posting on a forum among friends, but what if you're doing business online? You need to be able to monitor your short links to pinpoint who is using your links, where your traffic is coming from, where it is going, and what time of day your visitors arrive. UrlSnub offers you excellent, real-time tools to monitor short links, including tracking data like:

Visitors' IPs. Find out who your visitors are, down to their location, Internet service provider, and sometimes even company or personal server.
Visitors' referrers. Find out not only which link they click, but which page they click it from. This is a powerful tool in shaping affiliate campaigns and monitoring traffic.
Time of visit. Follow your site's peaks and lulls, and use the information to decide when to add new content, when to do processes that will take your site offline, and how to better target your ad and affiliate campaigns to take advantage of your site's traffic fluctuations.
Unique vs. non-unique visitors. Learn exactly how many eyeballs your pages are reaching and find out how "sticky" your content is. Shape your campaigns to bring in more fresh visitors or more repeat traffic.

Data is broken down by week, month, and year, so you can analyze your data finely or see the bigger picture. All statistics are reported in real time to help you make decisions speedily with the most accurate information available.

To make it easier to monitor your short links, you can also add optional tags and notes to short links, reset the counter, add additional target Urls to a short Url, change your short links' passwords and tags, and more. All of this functionality is available from your members' page, and your membership, like all of UrlSnub's services, is FREE.

Other Reasons to Monitor Short Links

Double-check your affiliates' statistics. You receive visitor data even when the target page is a third-party page that you have no administrative access to, so monitoring short links can allow you to create what amounts to a private referrer log.

Make sure that your password-protected links are secure. We'd like to believe that the passwords we hand out don't go wandering and don't get cracked, but sometimes it happens. When you monitor your links through UrlSnub, you can see in real time who is using your password-protected links. If someone has gained unauthorized access, you can change the password immediately and lock them out.

Watch your traffic campaigns. Make sure the traffic is coming from the right place and going to the right page, and see how many of your new visitors return.

Refine your site. Discover which pages get the most traffic and which get the most repeat visitors, and add new content accordingly. Don't waste time adding content at random and guessing which topics are most popular-know what your readers want, and give it to them.

Whatever your reason for creating short links, UrlSnub's free members-only features allow you to monitor short links, target your visitors more carefully, develop your site, and succeed in your business, both offline and on.
