Your Twitter ( it's X now) account is a treasure trove of data waiting to be explored. From top-performing tweets to the links that drive the most engagement, understanding these insights can significantly improve your content strategy.
But tracking metrics like URL clicks isn’t always straightforward—unless you have the right tools.
There are two main ways to track if someone clicks a link on your Twitter post.
One involves using UTM parameters, a manual yet effective tracking method.
The other is Circleboom Twitter's advanced Post Analytics, which simplifies the process with in-depth insights.
Let’s explore both options so you can choose the best one for your needs.

Why Tracking Link Clicks Matters
Tracking URL clicks on your tweets helps you:
➡️ Understand what type of content resonates most with your audience.
➡️ Optimize your tweets to boost engagement and drive traffic.
➡️ Make data-driven decisions for future campaigns and promotions.
Knowing how many people engage with the links you share allows you to refine your strategy and improve your ROI on Twitter.
Option 1: Using UTM Parameters for Tracking
UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) parameters are tags you add to a URL to track where your traffic is coming from. These tags provide detailed insights into how your links perform across various platforms, including Twitter.
Here’s how to create UTMs for Twitter link tracking:
- Method 1: You can use UTM builder tools like Google's. They enable you to enter your URL and fill in the UTM fields to generate a tagged link. Then, you can get that link with UTM and use it within your captions.
- Method 2: Platforms like Circleboom Publish easily integrate UTM generation for your social media posts. If you use such a tool, you can simply enter your UTM details on the same dashboard where you create, design, and schedule your social media posts.
In either case, your links will appear with regular previews, with no difference between bare links and links with UTM.
Pros of Using UTMs:
✅ Highly detailed and customizable tracking.
✅ Integrates seamlessly with Google Analytics.
Cons of Using UTMs:
⛔ Requires manual setup for every URL.
⛔ Can be time-consuming for frequent posts.
