See which post drove the click

Clean links in posts
A short, readable link like urlyte.com/yourbrand/launch looks better in a post than a long address full of tracking codes.

What a Threads link looks like
Links to Threads profiles and posts follow a simple pattern.
https://www.threads.com/@yourname/post/C8xYz…?xmt=AQGz…
- threads.com
- Threads' domain. Older links use threads.net, and they still work.
- /@yourname
- The profile. A profile link ends here.
- /post/C8xYz…
- The ID of one post.
- ?xmt=…
- Sharing data that Threads adds when you copy a link. You can remove it; the post still opens.

Tips for links on Threads
Use one link per post
If a post has one clear link, more people click it, and your click data is easier to read.
Use a different link for each campaign
When two posts share one link, you cannot tell which post brought the clicks.
Test the link on a phone
Most Threads users are on mobile. Open your link on a phone before you post it.
