However, Google Analytics can also provide you information about what users do when they come on your website, which banners or links they click the most, what product placements are working better on your website, which social media campaigns are bringing you more traffic, etc. Facebook has this new colored status background feature that works when your status is short and straight to the point.

Choosing A Link Shortener There are no shortage of link shorteners out there. Not all protocols are capable of being shortened as of 2011, although protocols such as http, https, ftp, ftps, mailto, mms, rtmp, rtmpt, ed2k, pop, imap, nntp, news, ldap, gopher, dict and dns are being addressed by such services as URL Shortener. Tinyarro.ws, and qoiob.com use Unicode characters to achieve the shortest URLs possible, since more condensed URLs are possible with a given number of characters compared to those using a standard Latin alphabet.[citation needed] Services may record inbound statistics, which may be viewed publicly by others.[5] Expiry and time-limited services[edit] Many providers of shortened URLs claim that they will "never expire" (there is always the implied small print: so long as we do not decide to discontinue this service—there is no contract to be breached by a free service, regardless of "promises"—and remain in business). Get everything hooked up Some services, such as Bitly, let anyone create a vanity URL shortener. You can turn click tracking on and off in paid accounts after you've sent a few campaigns without generating any compliance issues. Wait for Tags: If you want, you can delay the opening of a link until the tag has fired.
