Since its humble beginnings in 2002 with the launch of the TinyURL service, the URL shortener has evolved to become more than just a convenient way to save characters and trim unsightly web addresses.<\/p>\n

These days, the best URL shorteners come with a full suite of analytics tools so that you can not only redirect users via a more memorable address, but also track where your traffic is coming from and what they\u2019re doing once they get there.<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll take a closer look at some of the most-used URL shortener analytics and find out which ones live up to the test.<\/p>\n

Bitly<\/h2>\n

Recently the victim of a firestorm of controversy over its redesign<\/a>, Bitly, one of the most popular URL shorteners (originally thanks to Twitter) is backpedaling to address its users\u2019 concerns and keep things simple \u2013 the way they started.<\/p>\n

Focusing on ease of use, Bitly has added several features that allow users to save, customize and update their shortened links to be public and private.<\/p>\n

Currently, Bitly only tracks the number of clicks your shortened link gets \u2013 not pageviews or any other data beyond referrer and location:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For simple, straightforward analytics distilled into an at-a-glance format,
\nit\u2019s hard to beat the popularity and user-friendliness of Bitly.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

An enterprise (\u201cPro\u201d) service is also available, however the blog hasn\u2019t been updated since October 2011 (announcing the Beta launch) and things are eerily quiet on the website.<\/p>\n

Goo.gl<\/h2>\n

Bitly may be the\u00a0 reigning champ of URL shorteners in the Twitterverse (before t.co was launched last year), but Goo.gl has analytics covered.<\/p>\n

Like many of its services, if you have a Google account, you can track much more information than Bitly offers through its service, including clicks, referrers (and their relationship to each other), browsers, computer platforms and geographic locations. You can even see which time period brought the most clicks (although there is a 2 hour delay) and get a QR code for the shortened URL. While it’s possible to get your own\u00a0QR code generated<\/a>, it’s nice to have this feature built-in.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that all your analytics data for shortened goo.gl URLs is public. To access your analytics for a particular URL, just add .info after it, such as https:\/\/goo.gl\/l6MS.info.<\/p>\n

\"goo.gl\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Goo.gl URL analytics tracks valuable information on clicks and referrers
\nincluding what browser and computer platform they\u2019re using.<\/em><\/p>\n

Awe.sm<\/h2>\n

Rather than being yet another cool URL shortener, awe.sm takes things a step further by concentrating exclusively on social analytics.\u00a0 With its platform, you can not only track the number of clicks, referrals and other assorted information \u2013 but you can see which of those clicks drove conversions according to goals you set in the Awe.sm dashboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Awe.sm’s social analytics gives you a variety of ways to track
\nsocial engagement through their URL shortener<\/em><\/p>\n

Techcrunch illustrated the potential of awe.sm<\/a> by examining one of their users, StockTwits (a service which provides real-time updates on stocks through Twitter.<\/p>\n

According to the Techcrunch article, StockTwits uses awe.sm to…<\/p>\n

\u201ctrack how its users react to things like quarterly earnings reports for public companies. Awe.sm can look at any link that contains its tracking code in any tweet or other mention of a company produced by StockTwits users, auto-detecting the link and letting StockTwits track all of the metadata around who is doing sharing and when it happens. StockTwits can then use this data to generate more sophisticated data around reach and engagement for how word spreads out among users, and alter its product accordingly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Awe.sm isn\u2019t free like Bitly or Goo.gl, but there is a 30 day trial. Prices start at $15\/month per user for one project.<\/p>\n

Are URL Shorteners Right for You?<\/h2>\n

After Twitter introduced default URL wrapping with its own t.co service, many SEO providers have found that using a URL shortener for the sake of just a shorter link doesn\u2019t make much sense<\/a> \u2013 especially when a direct link is viewed as being more trustworthy.\u00a0\u00a0 The trust issue rears its ugly head when scammers use URL shorteners to hide spyware or other scummy sites.<\/p>\n

But when your direct link is simply too long and cumbersome to remember, and you want a quick, direct way of getting measurable results from your social campaigns \u2013 URL shorteners and analytics bundle the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

All of the aforementioned URL shorteners have their own approach to analytics.\u00a0 Your decision will depend on what type of information you need \u2013 whether it\u2019s simple clicks and referrers or more in-depth social sharing statistics.<\/p>\n

Overall, you can expect that the best URL shorteners will continue their gradual shift to becoming more of a social analytics platform rather than a service to promote a more memorable URL.<\/p>\n
