		<description>Sure, ugly links will take a hit to CTR. I recommend using a vanity service. 

Bitly pro allows you to add a custom sharing shortlink, so jaymail.net becomes jml.me and then i can customize the end bit with something pretty like jml.me/article - which looks nicer. 

So for that process to work, i would have my original link (http://mydomin.com/pages/long-article-title) then use the url bulder to add tracking to the end (http://mydomin.com/pages/long-article-title?utm etc etc etc etc etc etc etc) then finally go to mt bitly pro account and mask to (http://mydo.mn/article) 

Phew their must be an easier way!</description>

		<description>Nice article Jay, some very useful stats.

I would agree that plain text tracking in possible but is massively detrimental to the number of click throughs received.

If I were to receive a plain text email that instead of saying:
www.jaymail.net it was encoded such as http://mxmmxfb.com/d121/45/45/we (for instance) then I know which one I would click.

I think an interesting topic to add to the mixer would be the use of sub-domains for link tracking and how much of an improvement that offers to click throughs.</description>

		<description>Nice work.. one more point to add..

Tracking links don&#039;t need to be long and ugly (think bit.ly etc) and can even help you generate better click-throughs - for example when you use pURL&#039;s or PURLS.

A personalised URL combined with a personalised landing page can make for great conversions.</description>
