So you had a look at the handy link creator that Google has for everyone in the world to use. It isn't easy to find -- which is typical Google doings -- but there it is, and the form creates a nice link for you. I hope you'll take that nice link and shove it into Bitly as soon as possible so that your tweet isn't garbled with extraneous information.
So you have the novel done and you want to put out some tweets. This is great, and most of your followers are probably waiting for that message to come across the Internet. But lets see what kind of message reaches out the best and attracts the most attention.
Doing a bit of tracking on the links in your Social Net world will often reap more benefits than you imagine. The trouble is, most people think it is too much of a pain in the ass to set up the links

| Settings | : Twitter campaign |
| Campaign Source | : HashTag |
| Campaign Medium | : tweet |
| Campaign Term | : the hash tag you sent this into i.e. NEWS |
| Campaign Content | : call_to_action_2 i.e. the message of your tweet |
| Campaign Name | : blogpost2 |
HINT: add to your 'Term' hash code a 'time' code as well. So if you are going to send it into #NEWS then make your Term NEWS-0900.
You don't want to use the Campaign Source for the name of your Hash Tags -- it gets too messy. Keep that at the 500ft view and the use the Term area for your separate Tags and Times. It is also best to keep the Campaign Name area short. So for your blog posts (or product names) make a spread sheet of the links, names and codes -- otherwise your graphs and charts on the Analytics side are going to be sloppy with long post titles spilling out everywhere.
