Urchin Tracking Module (UTM) parameters
Analytics. Five URL parameters added to links that marketers use to track online marketing campaigns. The predecessor of Google Analytics, Urchin, introduced these parameters.
When a user interacts with your link, the link sends data to Google Analytics. This allows you track and monitor your traffic.
You can use a UTM parameter for specific marketing goals:
- To determine which social media campaign brought the most web traffic
- To find which call to action in an ad generated more purchases
