Eventprofs: Step-by-step guide on using Google Analytics to get on top of broken links
Posted by Jason Nah | Event Planners Protip | No CommentsWe’ve all faced it before, the dreaded 404 page, “woops – the link you provided points nowhere”. Let’s face it, it’s hard to keep track of all the links, particularly when you use a link shortening service. When a link looks like:
ow.ly/z3gsdfg
It’s hard to really know whether it’s pointing to a valid URL on your website. This is especially problematic if you might have changed the permalink on your article because you’re tuning for SEO keywords.

Twitter has been around since 2006 and has come a long way since. Latest reports place the total number of users at 554 million. And now, it would seem that the days of the fail whale are over as the service keeps up with the recent US presidential election.
With the rise in popularity of the service, Twitter is now a social network you can’t ignore.

This character limit is one of Twitter’s attractions, as bite sized posts are easy to produce and share. And as with all things, it’s good to know some common mistakes to avoid so you won’t embarrass yourself or your brand.
