Tracking clicks on your email newsletter can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of your campaigns and help you make data-driven decisions to improve engagement. In this blog, we’ll cover the basics of email click tracking and how you can implement it in your own email marketing strategy.
What is Email Click Tracking?
Tracking email clicks involves keeping tabs on who clicks on which links in your email. The tracking code appends a special identifier to the URL when someone opens a link in your email. This identification is then employed to track clicks on that link, enabling you to learn when and by how many users it was clicked as well as other pertinent details.
Why is Email Click Tracking Important?
Email click tracking is crucial since it enables you to gauge how well your email campaigns are working. You may determine which links are popular with your audience and change your content by monitoring clicks. You may also use click tracking to measure the success of different calls-to-action (CTAs) and test variations to discover which ones perform best.
