How do I use Tracking Links to create short “pretty” links?


Link and URL shortening became popular when Twitter counted every character in your URL against your tweet length. That’s all changed, but link shortening can still be valuable for marketing reasons.

All you need to do is create your own “branded” custom domain, set it up with ClickMagick, and then you’ll be able to use your custom domain for as many short links as you want. You can be up and going in just a few minutes by following the instructions in this guide:

Once you’ve set up your custom domain, you can create as many links as you want and they’ll all look something like this:

yourdomain.com/shortname

So, let’s suppose you grabbed the domain cool.io. Your links could then look like these:

cool.io/jKl8e
cool.io/golf
www.cool.io/xbox

etc.
