UTM Builder

Let us understand what precisely a UTM is?

UTM complete form is Urchin Tracking Module, and it is a small piece of code that appends to the end of the URL or Links. If UTM appends to the specified URL, it allows you to measure traffic coming from higher granularity. If you still haven't added UTM code to the URL, you can even estimate your traffic; but, it won't be easy to analyze its particular post-exposure, tweet, or link mainly due to the unstructured format.

You need to insert a few details to generate a UTM campaign (Campaign URL) to track campaign performance.

Website URL:

Website URL is the required parameter to generate campaign tracking code. One can enter either one URL or more to create a campaign code. You can enter one URL in one line and the following URL in the next line. For example www.countingcharacters.com
