Hi Dean,

Yes, you are right… you still need to do this manually for every link. The advantage of this is that you have full control on the way you generate links.

If you look for something automatic you can either check the following plugin:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-to-twitter/ It should support the adding of Google Analytics parameters to your blopost. You can also try to hack an existent URL shortener plugin for wordpress to use it just for this.

Thanks for the post! Correct me if I am wrong, all of this is still manual. You would need to jump through a few hoops in order to put this in effect, correct? Once you compress the address from your tool, you then take that and have to tweet it. Are you aware of any completely automated mechanisms to simply write a blog post, say, within Wordpress, click the publish button, the permalink gets assigned into an appropriate Google Analytics campaign, the URL is shortened through some URL shortener, and automatically tweeted – thus completely automating the entire process.

Some of the other posts that I have read related to the Google Analytics / Twitter issues involve using a URL generator within Google, assigning things much like you note into a campaign, generating a URL, then taking that new “Google” URL (which points to the blog post permalink), and then running that through, say, bit.ly.

Great script Claudiu.

I’m going to use it for tracking selective links on various sites.
