What Is Click Tracking for Short Links?
Click tracking records how many times people visit a short URL. Instead of guessing whether a campaign worked, you can check the stats page and see whether people actually clicked.
Lnkzy tracks a simple, privacy-conscious set of metrics for every short link: total clicks, the most recent click time, the original destination URL, and the QR code connected to the link.
Why Click Tracking Matters
- Campaign comparison: Create one link for Instagram, another for WhatsApp, and another for email to see which channel performs best.
- Print measurement: Put a short link or QR code on flyers and measure whether offline materials drive visits.
- Content testing: Try different calls to action and compare click totals over time.
- Cleaner reporting: Share a short stats URL internally instead of digging through multiple tools.
How to View Lnkzy Click Stats
Every short link has a matching stats page. If your short link is lnkzy.io/summer-sale, your stats page is lnkzy.io/stats/summer-sale.
Use that page to check total clicks, confirm the original URL, and download the QR code again when you need it.
Best Practices for Better Tracking
- Use a unique alias for each campaign or platform.
- Keep aliases readable so reports are easy to understand later.
- Test your link before sharing it publicly.
- Review stats weekly while a campaign is active.
