Using Referring URLs

The Referring URL feature is what makes qklnk unique. When you enter the page URL where your link will be placed, we automatically:

• Detect the platform - YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.
• Generate UTM Source - Based on the platform domain
• Generate UTM Medium - Based on content type (video, social, etc.)
• Fetch the page title - For UTM Campaign naming

Example

If you enter a YouTube video URL like https://youtube.com/watch?v=abc123, we'll:

• Set UTM Source to youtube
• Set UTM Medium to video
• Set UTM Campaign to the video title in snake_case

Manual UTM Parameters

You can also manually set or override UTM parameters:

• UTM Source - Where the traffic comes from (e.g., youtube, newsletter)
• UTM Medium - The type of content (e.g., video, email, social)
• UTM Campaign - The specific campaign name
• UTM Content - To differentiate similar content (e.g., post, comment, description_top)
• UTM Term - For paid search keywords
