 * I’m looking for a very simple way to apply a query string to all outgoing urls
   that would track how many times a link is sent to a publisher.
 * For example, something like this: domain.com/article?pub=”publisher1″
 * I see plugins like MonsterInsights does some tracking, but I don’t have affiliate
   links and much of the information is a duplicate of Google Analytics.
 * Any suggestions?

 * Thanks for the response. All of the suggested plugins rewrite the URL to include“/
   go”, or something similar.
 * Google has [some advice](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1136920?hl=en),
   but it is for individual URLs set manually.
 * I’d like to create a post, specify the query string (such as ?pub=pub1), providing
   a URL like this: example.com/article_slug?pub=pub1 .
