Welcome to the Q&A Forum

this would depend on if you're linking you're short URL that your domain. And what you're actually  use  totally.awe.sm I can say enough good things about it. I hope this helps you. You can also see exactly where your shares went. I believe that the Bitly enterprise edition has similar features. I hope this will help, Thomas

I agree with most of the above, but would have to say that link removal software does have it's place in the market. Software can automate finding a huge number of terrible links very quickly, for example: Links that are no longer indexed in Google (sign for a penalty). Separating out all of the blog comment, forum profile, link directories, article directories so that you can manually sift through them quickly and spot the spam. Identifying nofollowed links that you don't need to remove. Scraping pages to identify commercial keyword terms on pages. Find contact details for webmasters in bulk Identify potential link networks etc. The above are only a few examples of where tools can help... By doing this manually, you're going to spend a lot more time and most likely make errors. Yes, human eyes will always need to check the links, but software will speed up the process. Googles system is mostly automated to pick up spam sites in the first place. Yes, there are manual actions that can be taken on webmasters, but these sites are picked up in the first place either from someone reporting them as spam, or presumably from Googles system flagging a site as being potentially low quality. If you've been hit by an algorithmic penalty, then a piece of good quality software 'should' be possible to identify the majority of the low quality links. Automation definitely helps speed up the process. I'm not advocating using 'only' a piece of software as manual reviews are always necessary, but you can certainly save time by using software to analyse your links once over.
