A few years ago I put out a game on mobile app stores, every so often I still see a small spike in downloads and i can usually find a video, website, or tweet that was the cause. what do people use to identify sources of general web “buzz” about their products? If I ever finish my next project I’ll use something like Google analytics. But I assume thats not something that’s going to directly find a post, youtube video, or tweet right? At the moment I just search Google very so often and manually look for stuff. ---

Like you are already doing, manually searching through Google is the only thing I can think of 😛 One thing I’ve tried to do is create custom redirect pages on [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) where Google Analytics is available. This is a blank page that (besides having Google Analytics on it), redirects users to a destination URL. Any external presentation or link that I post somewhere else, I can point to the local [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) link and have that redirect me to the final destination. That could be a solution you can use in the future! Cheers, Kirupa 🙂 ---

Thanks I wasn’t sure if there was some obvious software or service had missed out on
