Now you're thinking, this is insane?

Short link variations, a landing page, all things necessary, as this client request has merely generated a lot of long links to capture.

Thus, enters short link tool #2, bitly.

Well, clients ask for this type of documentation, work, non-stop, all day.

I needed to learn a better way to determine clickthrough, and shortlinks from bitly offer that a bit more than ow.ly up front.

Ow.ly has another $ layer to it that doesn't interest me and the links are a bit long for my liking.

Bit.ly offers custom shotlinks per client too!

Which offers a place to add more variety into their offering - so to speak.

Bit.ly seeks to take over the entire marketplace for shortlinks, and their app does a great job of helping me get there!

Did you know you can consume this link above and make an OWL out of it?

Not a real owl. This type of owl.

https://public.tableau.com/profile/tyler3281#!/

All links point back at the Tyler 3281 account, which helps me test several links, at once!

Who clicks what, what do they like more?

My thought, Bit.ly offers a quicker access point to custom links...

Shortlinks are not going to get shorter.

Lucky for me, no one gets it in the data industry and have cheated to rank for ages.

Now I'm able to rank instantly with my authority, while others have had to cheat!

Meaning it's time to farm your short links ASAP.
