Goo.gl Link Shortener

where are the stats shown? and how do you use the service?

I really like this feature too.
Mike, if you have a google account (which is free and if you have google+ or a gmail account then you do for sure) and go to http://goo.gl/ you can shorten a url, like tiny does. But if you are signed in (see upper right), it will track them for you.

I sometimes will shorten when I don't even need them shortened, just so that I can get the tracking taken care of for me.

Yeah if you are logged into your google account, just go to goo.gl, when you shorten one it will do the rest!

ok i just put the addon into the browser. now i just have to remember to use it.

Thanks for the info, Thomas! I'm using it now, easy to use.

This is great! Thanks Thomas!

Thanks for the follows, I'll follow back when I get time later.

Good to know.

If you're not a Google fan, the bit.ly shortener also lets you track clicks if you've created an account. They'll show that same depressing Twitter result, though. ;)

Thanks for the tip! Very cool to be able to see how many (or few) click over from different types of tweets. I followed too!

I use bit.ly, nothing against Google, but I get the GA stats Twitter stats and bit.ly stats.

I guess using Goo.gl you can skip using the Google URL builder, Thomas? To follow the URL
on GA.

I assume ga is google analytics (seriously why do we have to abbreviate everything). Other than that you lost me.
