          Any updates on this for 2019? In my MOZ Link Explorer I'm noting my competitors high value (high PA and DA) "dofollow" links that come from a bit.ly link. So obviously there is SEO "juice" value.

            I'm also wondering if it's still usefull in 2019 to use shot links like https://bit.ly/2sAsLrH for SEO.

              We use Bit.ly to include links in the SMS we send to our clients. for example:

               https://bit.ly/2rCyvkP links to https://mindviewpsychology.com.au/online-bookings/

              We are not posting this link to our website or other websites. Sorry if this is a dumb question but would this bit.ly linkback come through the bit.ly site, or is there something else we can do to get some benefit from this? Does not show up in our external links in MOZ.

                Marieke,

                yes this is perfect example how bit.ly should be used. It's not dumb because you didn't use for some SEO purpose. I also seen bit.ly sharing on Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram or text messages. Because space there is limited and sender looking for maximal efficient usage of message.

                That URL will be indexed if you place it somewhere on internet where can be crawled. Like on your blog or if someone other do this. That's why it can't be seen on report - because no one knows that it even exists.

                There is just one small issue. IF you add + after bit.ly URL you can see it's statistics:
                https://bitly.com/2rCyvkP+
                so right now anyone on internet can see your clicks.

                I hope that this helps!

                Peter

                  Can someone tell me if it useful to share this URL --> http://bit.ly/Oh_My_Beauty or should I use the original link https://www.ohmybeauty.gr. Still can't understand what is the difference. Why everyone sais that bit.ly urls are helpful.

                    Thanks for the advice on using URL shortners. I have a client who has been told they were great for SEO purposes which I thought was incorrect but needed to double check.

                    They certainly have a use though.

                        I think bitly links are dofollow and google count them ,so is not bad if we can make some redirects to our post and articles,for example  Diseño Web

                                  Sure this is a perfect example of how bit.Ly has to be used. It's no longer dumb due to the fact you didn't use it for some search engine marketing cause. I saw bit.Ly sharing on Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram, electric fillet knife, or textual content messages. Because area there's restrained and sender searching out maximal efficient utilization of message.
