Should I Use Taps.io Shortlinks or the Web Widget?

Already know how Tapstream works? Then it’s time to start learning about your app marketing success. Should I use Shortlinks or the Web Widget to track incoming visitors? For an ideal integration we highly recommend using both. But if you’re just beginning, pick one just to get started. Both options provide attribution and conversion rates for your app marketing. No more swinging in the dark! Shortlinks - great for specific traffic sources and split-testing Creating shortlinks is the best way to get started. They're great for measuring traffic from specific places and split-testing.

Place shortlinks in:

Sales pages and landing pages

Social media bios, updates and promotions

Blogs

Email campaigns

Web or mobile ads

Anything you want to split test

Use shortlinks anytime you can control the link being used.  A perfect counter example is getting press: you can’t control what link a journalist is uses her article. If you could, you should give her a shortlink! Get started: Create some shortlinks

View referral sources for website visitors that install your app

See which of your pages converts the most visitors into app users

The web widget is compliments the use of shortlinks as it automatically measures traffic coming through your site that wasn’t initiated by a shortlink. Get Started: Add the web widget to your site 

Note on attribution: what ever gets the first touch, a shortlink or your web widget, will be considered the source for that app user.

Example: If a user clicks on a shortlink you tweeted, goes to your website and then downloads your app, the user will be attributed to the shortlink - the first touch.
