Great question. I first studied the key code area under power tools.
After setting up my 5 SFI web sites and adding key codes, I copied and pasted them in my app called (notes) on my ipad.
I labeled each one, what it was called and what I was promoting.
Just add a period behind your sponsor code then add your key code.
Then to track specific social media postings, I copied and pasted my gateway sites to my notes.
I labeled one for Facebook; to promote triple clicks. ; http://www.tripleclicks.com/xxxxxxxx.F5454/pbwin
I placed an "F" in front of the 4 digit key code so I would know that the hit came from Facebook without having to refer to my code list.
Then I made a section for Twitter and placed a "T" in front of the key code for it and then I did the same for Linkedin.
To make it simple, after I set up the coded link in Notes, I copied it and pasted it again and changed the code to reflect Twitter or LinkedIn etc.. That way, I didn't have to re-type the link each time.
I also used several of my links on the gateway, copied and pasted them into my notes. Decided where to post them, added them under the appropriate category ... Facebook... Etc, then recoded them with the letters and whichever 4 digit code I wanted to use.
You can do this for all your advertising. This is just a simple method to help you get started.
Now when I get ready to post one of my links, let's say to facebook; I go to my Notes app and copy the link that I already have set it, them I go to facebook and paste it. Simple?
Of course as you advance, you can get more creative with your codes, you can select numbers to mean something such as this code for example; F1214. Of course F, stands for Facebook, 1, could stand for the first time you promoted it, 2, for the month, 14 for the date, you can get really creative.
Now to track your results, go to (power tools), hit tracking, and your results will show up there. The letter in the key code will be listed above the box with the key code in it. I tested this and it works, I hope this helps!!!
