Linktrack is a free service designed to shorten very long urls (links) to make them easier to read, remember, and send to other people.
Every link you create lets you track when it’s been clicked on, and who clicked it!
Linktrack is built for anyone who wants a simple and effective way to track links online.
You can use your tracking link to track anytime someone clicks your link. Use it anywhere you would put a web address!
Links created anonymously or using a free account will automatically expire after 7 days or 100 clicks. Links created with any premium account won't expire.
We handle this on a case-by-case basis. For the most part the answer is yes, but the process is manual and you'll need to contact us. If possible, please include your computer's IP Address in your request, and be prepared to answer some identifying questions.
Sure! Just click on the "edit link" icon and go down to the bottom of the page to the "delete" button. Remember, deleting a link is permanent and will remove the link and all of its history from your account.
Yes! If you're a premium account holder click on the "edit link" icon and go down to the bottom of the page to the "reset history" button. This change will permanently remove all of the link's tracking history from your account.
We use the industry standard 301 or "permanent" redirect as suggested by Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. The permanent redirect tells search engines that the LinkTrack link they're following is just a placeholder, and that the real content is located at the target destination. This passes on any search engine relevance to the target link rather than assigning it to our site.
Unique visitor tracking is available on our professional accounts.
No. Using our tracking links in conjunction with unwanted (spam) mail is strictly prohibited by our terms of service and will not be tolerated.
Not yet, but we're working on it. If you're developing a Twitter client and would like to include LinkTrack, please let us know.
Absolutely! This feature is standard on all of our premium accounts.
Premium accounts have the option to make their links completely private. Otherwise, we publish them on our recent links page and other parts of the site.
Here's a Google link that includes some parameters:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=movie+times&btnG=Search.
Not only can our service handle long urls with parameters, but we also decipher them from the major search engines to record which keywords are being used to find your link.
Yes - this feature is common to all of our premium accounts.
Daily counters reset every night at midnight CDT.
Certainly! Check out our bookmarklet page for details.
If you're logged into the LinkTrack web site, we'll automatically assign the links you make with your bookmarklet to your account. Just sign in to your account at the beginning of the day before you start using the bookmarklet.
Definitely not - an account is never required to use our system. We'll make a tracking link from your bookmarklet whether you're logged in or not.
If you find yourself making a lot of tracking links though, consider getting a free account to keep them organized.
Plus+ Tracking is a premium feature that allows you to add additional identifying information to your tracking links so you can use one tracking link to measure response from multiple sources.
With a Plus+ Tracking link, you can add additional text to the end of any of your tracking links. Not only do we record all the tracking data when your link is clicked, but we also record the text you added to the end. This gives you a quick and easy way to distinguish who clicked which link!
Bots (sometimes called search spiders), are automated programs that scour the web for information. They follow links just like regular people, so if they follow a tracking link their visit is recorded. If the click comes from a known bot on our bot list (like Google's googlebot, or the Yahoo! Slurp bot) we mark them in your report.
A blank referrer field on your tracking page means that the system was unable to collect any referring information from the click. Referrer information is only passed when your visitor clicks a link from another web page, so this will show up as "none" for anyone clicking your link in an email, or typing it directly into the address bar of the browser. Our system records and displays any referrer information that it can collect, but defaults to "none" when there is none available.
