Editor's Notes
Let&#x2019;s look at a second social media marketing campaign. This one was about building awareness in the industry of the relationship between performance and conversions.

Hand off to AC
First, I create the message I want to track. In GA&#x2019;s case, this gives me a long URL I can use -- every visit will bear the markings of the campaign.
Then I shorten that long URL with a service
I Tweet the message with the short URL
When I get traffic, I can see which message worked best. I&#x2019;ll also see ALL Tweets -- even those that came from other clients and desktops. I&#x2019;ll even see viral spread to other networks.
in this case, bigco announces that they&#x2019;ve got a 20% discount for T-shirts in the next 10 minutes.
a couple of people respond. @bigco then D messages each person with a unique shorturl identifier. As a result, they&#x2019;re able to trace each shortened URL to an actual person and measure both virality and conversion rates for each &#x2018;micro-campaign&#x2019;.
