Within our Adobe Analytics, we have created the following data within the reports to be tracked:
pageurl (prop7)
pageurl (evar7)
These contain all URLs which were clicked to access the tracked website.
Now, I have also created a segment (in table below called "Short-URLs") which contains all short URLs which make then a redirect to the target URL.
Example: The segment contains http://www.abc.com/promotedproduct and https://www.abc.com/promotedproduct (which then redirects to www.abc.com/products/overview/productarea/promotedproduct.html)
We only want to know how often our promoted short URLs are clicked.
Unfortunately, when creating a project in the workspace with this segment, I get no results. I have tried to combine it with the pageurl (prop7), but I couldn't find any set up possibility to get results which can be then sent automatically every month
I'd like to have a table like this:
Segment "Short-URLs" | Occurences |
---|---|
http://www.abc.com/promotedproduct | 46 |
https://www.abc.com/promotedproduct | 42 |
http://www.abc.com/career | 35 |
https://www.abc.com/career | 28 |
http://www.abc.com/products | 5 |
I prefer the workspace more than the data warehouse because the sent reports are much prettier.
EDIT: When I combine my segment with occurences, I can only see the total number for all clicked URLs within this segments, but no details for each URL.

i think you can‘t get the information based on the data you mentioned.
what we use in similar cases is a redirect which adds a campaign-trackingcode to the url, e.g.
short-URL www.mysite.com/follow-me
redirect to www.mysite.com/here/we/are?cid=redir-followme
this way you can make a segment based on the tracking code (or your existing URL prop or evar) and know, how many visits came by using the redirect.
hope that helps

Correct - redirect pages cannot be tracked as they will not be shown in the browser long enough for a tag to fire. urs.boller's tip to use a query parameter to identify the redirect is the best practice.
