BitlyLink Shortener – Free Stats At Your Fingertips!
Bit.ly, the popular URL shortener, gives you the power to see click-through data on any bit.ly shortened link… not just ones that are associated with your API key.
While arguably not as accurate as the Pro version of Budurl.com (but at least as accurate as the free version), Bit.ly is the shortener of choice for many due to it’s easy integration into a variety of applications, plugins and tools.
Want to see the stats on that bit.ly URL you just saw scroll by in the twitter stream?
Easy peasy!
Google's Nik Collection is available for free download.
Simply copy the URL… for example: http://bit.ly/OpjqIQ
And paste it into your URL bar…
Add a + sign to the end of it… and hit enter!
Bit.ly Link Redirects Change the destination page for bit.ly links. – 5: 50: Auto-Branded Links Links created by others on Bitly’s website are branded with your custom domain – – 10+ Custom Back-half Insert your own words at the end of a link. Eg: change bit.ly/472da4 to bit.ly/mypage: 50/mo: 1,500/mo: 10,000/mo+. Customize for click-worthy links Is that bit.ly link too generic for you? Customize it by editing the back-half. Then take it to the next level by upgrading your account and getting your own short domain to replace the 'bit.ly.' Branded links get more clicks!.UPDATE: In this release, we added 'right click + shorten link' functionality, fixed. GitHub is where the world builds software. Millions of developers and companies build, ship, and maintain their software on GitHub — the largest and most advanced development platform in the world. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.
Use the drop-down box to select a time range. (Total is pictured above.)
This is in addition to links that you can easily access the stats on that are part of your account (either you created them on the bit.ly site or you created them with a tool that uses your bit.ly API key).
So, while I use BudURL Pro when I am paying for click traffic from solo ads, and while I use Pretty Link Pro for on-site link tracking, my preferred tracker for external links is Bit.ly!
Bit.ly also has a free tool that lets you use it as a custom, personalized, link shortener with your branding at the same time.

PS: Where did I recently need this ability? When I forgot to insert my Bit.ly key into RSS Graffiti at first and had some posts shared to a FB Page that I did not have automatic access to the stats on. This let me easily get those stats.
