Link shortening services

[cschwartzel]

What is your favorite link shortener, and why? Have a new client in the entertainment industry. Need to be able to tweet lots of links and pics. What do you use? What works best?

bitly.com, probably one of the original ones and have tracking. It is also free to use.

I do like using bit.ly because of its built in analytics.

Example, if you take this URL: bit.ly/SEOcorrelations  and simply add a "+" at the end of it, so it becomes bit.ly/SEOcorrelations+  you can see some analytics that track number of clicks, what time, where from, what platform and so on.  Pretty nifty.

The analytics are pretty basic for sure, but does the job for me so far.  I'm with Rand in thinking we can get a lot more from them in the future.

I like bit.ly on this end as well, also for the analytics.
