I regularly create tracking links, and while I do find the campaign analytics helpful, sometimes I just want to know how many times the link was clicked. Is “sessions” as close as I can get to that? Am I missing something? I would love for the URL builder to show a column of “clicks” but it doesn’t seem to be an option…

Hi @kmorrow. When you’re creating tracking links, are you creating them in the [HubSpot tracking URL builder](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/settings/how-do-i-create-a-tracking-url)? If you are, then you should be able to go to your UTM Paremeters report (Reports \> Analytics Tools \> Traffic Analytics \> UTM Parameters) and see the sessions each link has generated. That’s how I would measure the success of that link.

Another option would be to create the link as a call to action in the CTA tool, with the “Link No Style” format, and embed that where you need it. From there you can measure clicks on the link as it’s a CTA.

Hopefully that helps!

Thanks Dan! That is what I look at when I create these in HubSpot; it’s just that “sessions” is slightly different from clicks. And sometimes, it would just be nice to see the actual tracking URL next to a number of clicks, rather than navigating around through the campaigns and traffic analytics dashboards. But sounds like it doesn’t exist in HubSpot in that way.

I have been thinking the same recently, would be good to see how many people have clicked on tracking urls.

@RWaterfield9 when you use tracking IRLs in HubSpot, you can see the URL-specific analytics by clicking on the “UTM Campaign” name in the builder:

And in your Traffic Analytics tool, under “UTM Parameter,” you can see traffic for all of your links.

Hope that helps or confirms what you were looking for!
