How To Tag Your Links Using Googles URL Builder

 

In this video I’m an answer a question that I get all the time I’ve gotten this question mostly from people in my mastermind and I’m a huge advocate of tagging your links and what I mean by that is if you put a special tag that I’ll show you how to do in just a second you’ll be able to see in analytics where they come from. So this one Pinterest DIY pins this is something that I custom made and I added to a link on my DIY pins on Pinterest. So that when people come to my website clicking on that link I can see it very easily in analytics. So first off let me show you how to make it actually let me show you how it works. So Pinterest /.bdancewear. So let’s go to the Pinterest board you go to the DIY dance costume let’s scroll down I just want to make sure I get one that actually has it. So click on this that’ll come up I want to click on it again it’ll take people to this landing page and see this part of the URL that tracks it. So you see the source equals Pinterest the medium equal’s DIY pins. So that tracks it. So I can see it in my analytics. So this is how you’d actually build it yourself and go to this link I’ll put it down in the show notes below or type in URL builder into Google and then simply put the website put the URL that you want let’s say I was using this is my landing page I put the URL of that campaign source I’m going to spell Pinterest wrong can i know I think I spelled it wrong here too but that’s okay as long as it’s consistent it’s not a problem campaign medium I’m going to say DIY pins put that down here as well and there is a difference between campaign medium and campaign name I usually just keep that the same because as you can see in analytics it’s the medium that shows up not the campaign name. So unless you have a lot of traffic you don’t really need to do two separate ones for that. So then generate URL and it does it automatically generates for you it has that little? And then the UTM source and it fills all that data in. So if you were to go to this URL it would show up in my analytics if I were to change that to test 123 test 123 would come up and set up interest right here. So that is how you tag your lengths this is a Q&A video I’m going to start doing these Q&A videos every week.
