I attended a day-long workshop yesterday on Google analytics, run by LunaMetrics. For those of you who may not know, Google analytics is one of their free services that let’s web site owners gather website visitor statistics which can be used to provide more effective sites. It was a great workshop, and I’ll be incorporating the ideas into some web-application re-writing I have planned for the summer.
One of his quick tips was for this Firefox add-on, which makes it easy to include some of your site tracking tags into shortened URLs used on services like Twitter and Facebook.
A Firefox sidebar to easily shorten URLs, plus add Google Analytics tracking tags. Great for measuring traffic from Twitter. Snip-n-Tag currently supports five of the most popular URL shortening websites, including tr.im, bit.ly and tinyurl.
