URL Tracker
The average person has no use for a URL tracker. They do not need to know how often someone has clicked on a URL they have posted on the web. Although some people do try to use them to track how often their friends and family have clicked on a URL they have posted on Facebook. Some people attempt to do this with their Twitter accounts too.
Who Does Need a URL Tracker?
The people who do need a URL tracker are marketers. Nowadays most marketers carry out at least some of their marketing online and knowing how effective that marketing is crucial. It helps them to determine what works and what does not and to concentrate their time, effort and money on those things that are effective. Many individual website owners do their own marketing, so also use URL trackers.
What a URL Tracker Can Pick Up
A URL tracker can tell you which search engine the searcher was using. They can pick up which search term the user had keyed in to find your URL. This is especially important if you are trying to rank for specific keywords. Some trackers also pick up the match type that was used for that search term.
Finding a URL Tracker

You need to look for one that gives you the ability to analyse a series of URLs at once. It is wise to look for the tracker that brings back as big a range of data as possible. Some sites like HubPages used to require you to generate your shortened URLs using their tools to be able to track their Urls on their site. However, the newer URL trackers will track all Urls including those on social media and marketing sites like HubPages.
