UTM is short for ‘Urchin Tracking Module’, a simple text string that you can attach to a URL to track the source, medium, campaign name, term and content.
Utilising Google Analytics, you can use UTMs to track the effectiveness of online marketing campaigns across traffic sources and publishing media.
