How to Track Link Clicks

Learn how link click tracking works and how to use short URLs to measure clicks from campaigns, social posts, QR codes, email, and SMS.

TinnyURL guide

Tracking link clicks helps you understand whether people are opening the links you share. A URL click counter gives you a simple way to measure attention without building a full analytics dashboard.

What click tracking tells you

Click tracking shows how many times a short link was opened. This can help you compare posts, campaigns, channels, QR codes, email links, and SMS messages.

It is not the same as full conversion tracking, but it is a useful first signal for engagement.

Use separate links for separate channels

If you want to compare channels, create different short links for each placement. For example, use one link for email, one for SMS, one for a poster QR code, and one for a social post.

Checking each link separately makes it easier to see which placement is getting attention.

Track QR code traffic

When a QR code points to a TinnyURL short link, the click counter can help estimate how many people opened the QR destination.

This is helpful for menus, flyers, posters, event signs, packaging, and offline campaigns.
