ClickMeter: Free URL Shortener & Link Tracking

The Importance of Link Tracking with ClickMeter

Maintaining awareness of your website's performance necessitates the use of web analytics. However, conventional analytics platforms often excel at detailing on-site activity, while providing limited insight into the performance of links directing traffic to your website.

ClickMeter addresses this gap by functioning as a dedicated link tracking tool. It allows you to meticulously monitor clicks originating from your website’s links, enabling a clear understanding of which links are most effective at attracting visitors.

Creating and Customizing Tracking Links

Generating a tracking link within ClickMeter is a straightforward process. Simply input the target URL into your ClickMeter account. Users with free accounts can select from either "go.clickmeter.com" or "9nl.com" as the domain for their tracked link.

Pro account subscribers have the flexibility to utilize their own custom domain names. Furthermore, the redirect type can be chosen based on the potential for future destination URL changes.

Analyzing Link Performance Data

Once configured, ClickMeter provides access to comprehensive statistics and detailed charts illustrating link performance. This includes data on both unique and non-unique clicks.

A visual representation of click origins is also available, displaying the locations of your most recent 50 clicks on a world map.

Beyond Basic Tracking: URL Shortening and Fraud Detection

ClickMeter extends its functionality beyond simple link tracking, serving as a powerful URL-shortening tool equipped with advanced click-tracking capabilities. This is particularly valuable for identifying potential click fraud.

Real-time click statistics and social media traffic measurement are also facilitated, making it an effective solution for evaluating the success of your backlinks.

Free vs. Paid Options

ClickMeter offers both free and premium subscription tiers. While the free account provides robust link tracking functionality, upgrading to a paid plan unlocks additional features.

Premium benefits include the use of custom domains, campaign comparison charts, data export in formats like Excel, and advanced click data filtering.
