Tracked Tweets is my first wordpress plugin. There are plenty of plugins that tweet each new post you make, but I think there are a few features in this one that are not provided anywhere else.

URL Shortening

Post URL’s are shortened before they are added to the tweet. Current shorteners are:

• TinyURL
• tr.im
• bit.ly
• the RevCanonical wordpress plugin

Google Analytics Tracking

As far as I know, no other plugins provide this. This component allows you to see Google Analytics data which is specific to Twitter. Without building a custom link, twitter will not be tracked correctly. You are able to segment by all twitter visits, or a single campaign. I haven’t fully explored the tracking possibilities yet

• On the main settings screen, you can define the Google source and medium fields
• The post title is used as the campaign name

Hashtag/Tweet customisation support

• On the post level, you are able to specify hashtags (or any other custom text you need)
