There are several techniques to implement a URL shortening. But otherwise, the free account is useful enough for comprehensive link tracking.
A uniform resource locator (URL) is registered with a server. So instead of seeing “bit.ly” or “goo.gl” links that might lead you anywhere, these websites have set up their own custom short domain name. The shortcuts are intended to be permanent and cannot be changed once they are created. For example, a bad campaign name would be "Winter 2009 email" because email is the medium, and it restricts your ability to reuse the same campaign name for other mediums. You can modify these in the ga call if necessary (lines 24 to 26). If you are permitting other websites to create links to your site, then you need to monitor the links to your site.
In addition to using bit.ly as a tool integrated into third-party tools you can also use it directly at the bit.ly website. This is something you’ll often hear from link shortener detractors. Therefore, as a Twitter marketer who needs to track link performance, you should use bit.ly.
