tracking emails traffic with Google Analytics

It is relatively simple to track traffic from any emails you send. You just need to add some information at the end of the links you include in your email.

Example: I want to track clicks from my email signature.

Current link:http://www.netleap.co.uk
New link: www.netleap.co.uk?utm_source=EIDE&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Reply

Details: 
utm_source: the actual source, I put my name to specify that the email comes from me
utm_medium: the actual medium. Here it is email
utm_campaign: gives you the opportunity to be more more specific. I have 2 different signatures, depending on whether it is a new email, or a reply email. I put "Reply" in my reply email signature.

What's next
- Each employee of your organisation can have a custom web link, to track who is driving traffic to the company website.
