What’s really great is you don’t have to add any of your own custom javascript. I’ll use jQuery 1.x for this example since most sites use it but you can substitute a lightweight option such as min.js, Zepto.js, Minified.js or your own event handling functions. To store unique session information—like click IDs or user hashes—use the affiliate click ID or unique value parameters instead.
You can also find out how many clicks your particular bit.ly link got compared to the total clicks on the long link.

You can safely preview a short link by adding ~ or = to the end of the URL, for instance: Bookmarklets Shorten and share any page at the click of a bookmark, without installing extensions or apps. If you have used either the UTM tracker or outbound link tracking in the past, then let us know of your experience. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.
