2. What is URL Tagging? URL tagging is a system of building URL file paths with campaign Source, Medium, Name, Term, or content. You can set these URLs to test and track the success of links you are sharing with leads. From regular emails, to PDF downloads, to links on third party websites it allows us to check how successful our efforts are in bringing traffic back to websites.
