What’s really great is you don’t have to add any of your own custom javascript. This is key to search engine optimization as it ensures that search engine spiders won't think the shortener URL is the "real" URL to the page.
Determines unique and non-unique click distribution. This is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your bookmarks or favorites allow javascript.
There's no point tracking revenue if you don’t know what's generating it. Clicks: The total number of times this link has been clicked. In this case, each character in the sequence will be 0, 1, 2, ..., 9, a, b, c, ..., y, z.

Unless you want to track URLs, you have no need to run to an outside website in order to make your URLs smaller, Twitter only counts links for a certain number of characters now. By tracking links, you can greatly improve your website by getting rid of items that don’t work and optimizing the ones that do. It works almost immediately and you can shorten as much as you want, anytime. Interestingly, that same infographic suggests that posting shortened URLs later in the week will give them a “longer lifespan”, clicking many days after it was posted.

You should use the one that’s right for your use case, but below is what I typically use on this site. The ad tag includes the affiliate tracking link and corresponding impression pixel for display banners types so impressions can be tracked right away. In some cases, the political or cultural aspects of the country in charge of the top-level domain may become an issue for users and owners,[4] but this is not usually the case. Once implemented, visit your site and click a few outbound links. You should see the activity in the Analytics Real-Time > Events panel. It’s a pain, but the outbound link tracking code shown below won’t work without it. (It could be made to work with legacy Analytics, but it’ll eventually stop working so it’s best to upgrade now.) Custom Event Tracking Analytics supports event tracking. You need an Admin user level or higher to connect this integration. Shorten URL (e.g. bit.ly/buSzh) is meaningless because readers don’t know where the link is directing to. The downside of this approach, however, is that if a user visits your shortened domain without a directory path on the end, they will be directed to a Bitly branded page. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.
