Question:

I use Bitly to shorten links and put them on my social networks and my influencer marketing. Can I track the original links and the bitly short links?

Answer:

Yes you can track the original links! The short links work as below.

Example of a shortened URL for education

Image a customer clicks your short link via your Facebook post, the link will be transformed to your original link and tracked by Attribuly pixel.

Attribuly will record the original domain(Facebook) as the traffic source but not Bit.ly. Attribuly will also track all the conversions and attribute them to your original link.

Attribuly will not record the short link starting with bit.ly; you can't see bit.ly URLs in our report.
