Use Google Analytics to the fullest
Also known as UTM parameters, UTM codes are little snippets of text added to the end of your URL to help you
track the success of your content on the web.
http://blog.hubspot.com/9-reasons-you-cant-resist-list?utm_campaign=blogpost
&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook
It lets your analytics know that someone arrived through a certain source or overall marketing channel
Here are the five things you can track with UTM codes:
Campaign: Groups all of the content from one campaign in your analytics.
Ex: utm_campaign=20percentpromocode
Source: Which website is sending you traffic.
Ex: utm_source=Facebook
Medium: The type of marketing medium that the link is featured in.
Ex: utm_medium=socialmedia
Content: Used to track the different types of content that point to the same URL from the same campaign, source, and medium codes. Often used in PPC or with
two identical links on the same page.
Ex: utm_content=sidebarlink or utm_content=headerlink
Term: Used to identify the keywords you've paid for in a PPC ad.
Ex: utm_term=marketing+software
