HartRuth 0 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I shared a link to a note with a bunch of people. Is it possible to track how many people actually clicked the link and viewed the note? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,666 Posted February 28, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hi. It's not possible to track clicks though Evernote. However if you share a shortened link, such as http://bit.ly/2HRrPpt (links back to this page) the link provider will supply stats about who clicked on the link and when. Shortened links can be a little suspicious since they can be used to hide malware links too; though again in Bitly - and presumably others - it's possible to personalize the links to make them more user-friendly.

It is legitimate to count clicks on a page you own - it helps to fine-tune the content for users visiting your page. How you count clicks depends on what your software can do for you. Link to comment

I wasn't promoting one specific tool - what you can do depends on which app you are using and what type of content you're measuring. At it's simplest there are link-shorteners like https://bitly.com/ which can change a long Evernote page link into something like https://bit.ly/2WQXBw1 (which links back to this page) - and will tell you how often that link gets clicked. Otherwise - and depending on what you need - there's... https://shanebarker.com/blog/web-analytics-tools/ Link to comment
