There are wordpress, joomla, drupal plugin that do the same if you have blog and you want for statistics like CoalaWeb Traffic,Google Analytics for Sumo for Wordpress, Visitor Analytics for Drupal but if it is a referral link some sites doesn't provide statistics and then this is benefit of shortenlinks.

There are lot of advantages of shortening URLs such as we can easily use and share short URL instead of long URLs which takes too much time to be copied or share from one place to another and they also looks like fake or not trust worthy when links gets too big so shorter URLs helps many ways to get more public on the link.

there are 2 possible reasons of url shortening, you either shorten your URL's in order to make money from that, or you do it to reduce the size of long URL's in order to make them look shorter, and you don't earn from the last thing for sure as users will have access directly to the link without any ads or anything like that in normal url shortners where you can make money

For me this are the main purpose of shorteners.

1. Shorten your links
2. Sometimes a shortener has an option that can monitor who, or where or how many users are clicking your links.
3. Other site, pages, social media sometimes block suspicious links, some shorteners can bypass them
4. For extra income if you are using paid shorteners

I know two uses of link shorteners.

The first is to shorten links you want to use in adverts or articles that you feel are too long, or whose contents you want to keep hidden from the target audience.

The second is to track how many people click on the link. I have seen this with bit.ly and it's a good tracking tool.

Oh gee, thank you for the information. I didn't know that shortened URL have that benefit of knowing some details on the traffic that your website gets. I have been wondering about it and why many are now using that shortened URL. So maybe I can use the URL shortener on my blogs so that I can check how much traffic I am getting and from where. That is the beauty of the forum, we learn things just by going through the posts on the boards. Thanks again.
