      Regarding traffic from twitter, I want to track this url -  http://www.ultraseo.com/white-hat-vs-black-hat/

      and  generated the following URL using URL builder -

      http://www.ultraseo.com/white-hat-vs-black-hat/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social%2Bmedium&utm_campaign=seo

      Should i now pass it through a URL shortener bitLy or googles own. and tweet it.

      Is this what i should do ? Please reply ...

      where will i get a report in GA ( under which heading ? )

        Your tracking code looks like it has got a bit mixed. I would recommend using the following.

        http://www.ultraseo.com/white-hat-vs-black-hat/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=seo

        Yes, just put it in a url shortener and tweet it.

        In Google Analytics look under traffic sources > campaigns.

            Highlighted in bold the bit that has gone wrong.

            http://www.ultraseo.com/white-hat-vs-black-hat/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Socia**l%2B**medium&utm_campaign=seo

            If you are going to be tweeting the link more than once you would need to set up different tracking codes each time to be able to attribute the visits to a particular tweet.
