How to Track Link Clicks Like a Pro in 2025
If you're sharing links online — whether through social media, email, or your website — tracking performance is no longer optional. You need to know what’s working and what’s wasting time. That’s where link tracking comes in.
Here’s how to track clicks like a pro in 2025 and get insights that help you grow faster.
Why Link Tracking Matters
Every link you share is a data opportunity. Tracking tells you:
- Where your traffic is coming from
- Which platforms perform best
- What your audience is clicking (or ignoring)
- How to tweak your campaigns for better ROI
Without this, you're just guessing.
Ways to Track Link Clicks
1. Use a Link Shortener with Built-in Analytics
Linkifyer automatically tracks:
- Total clicks
- Referral source (Instagram, email, website, etc.)
- Device type (mobile vs. desktop)
- Country and browser
- Click trends over time
You get a visual dashboard to see exactly how your links perform.
2. Add UTM Parameters
UTM tags help track performance in Google Analytics. A basic URL with UTM might look like this:
https://linkifyer.com?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=bio&utm_campaign=spring_launch
This lets you see link clicks in your GA reports by campaign name, channel, or even post.
3. Set Goals in Google Analytics
If your link leads to a signup or purchase, set up a Goal in GA to measure conversions. Combine this with UTM tracking for full funnel insight.
4. Use Pixel Tracking
With Linkifyer, you can add Facebook, Google, or TikTok pixels to links. This allows:
- Retargeting visitors with ads
- Creating lookalike audiences
- Measuring ad-to-click-to-conversion impact
5. Monitor Real-Time Activity
Use Linkifyer’s real-time dashboard to:
- Track new clicks as they happen

Tips for Better Results
