It’s been requested quite a bit from people, and it’s finally here… link stats!
When setting up your searches, you now have the ability to shorten a link using bit.ly to tack on to the end of your drafted response. What this means, is that we can now show you just how effective, or ineffective your responses are in drawing people in to click on your link.
A new tab has been added to the account page that will list all of the links that you currently have in your drafted replies, what the original expanded link was, and how many people have followed this link.
Unfortunately the stats provided by bit.ly are not real time, and there is a small delay between someone clicking on the link and the click being registered by TwitterHawk, so it’s best to use it as a retrospective tool and not an immediate gauge of your most recent tweet sent via TwitterHawk.
Currently this feature is not available in edit mode, however work is being done to allow a better way to modify your searches, which will include adding bit.ly links into your drafted replies. [EDIT] What good is a new toy that you can’t use immediately? The new feature is now available when editing your drafted replies via the account page.
Please do keep the suggestions coming in so TwitterHawk can further evolve into a tool that makes your marketing efforts easier. Also, if you notice any issues with the new feature, let us know by sending a tweet to @twithawk
