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. A link converted by Twitter’s link service is checked against a list of potentially dangerous sites.
If you do nothing but add the tracking script to your pages, you’ll be faced with an endless stream of data and reports about user activity on your site. Over a quintillion, which would mean no user would have to worry about hitting that limit for over 2700 years at the same rate of one photo every minute. Other link tracker software use only cookies, which severely limits what you can track and how you track. Search four levels down from the root on each local fixed drive.
We can use event tracking to record outbound links but there are a number hurdles to overcome: the event must be recorded on all browsers and not impede navigation we should not need to manually identify or attach separate handlers to every outbound link, and we must ensure the event is recorded before the outbound page starts to load. Not all protocols are capable of being shortened as of 2011, although protocols such as http, https, ftp, ftps, mailto, mms, rtmp, rtmpt, ed2k, pop, imap, nntp, news, ldap, gopher, dict and dns are being addressed by such services as URL Shortener.
This doesn’t change the way the PDF document is displayed or downloaded by your users.

You can also create a tracking domain to “gather metrics for all users that are shortening links to your site”. It is where a link tracker tool comes in handy and will do the job that would take you forever to do. Browse our list for inspiration: You'll likely get some great ideas just look at what others have done! If it's not available, you'll need to locate a registrar who handles the domain extension in question.
When this feature is used, links to your site that Sailthru includes in your email campaigns are wrapped in a redirect URL beginning with link.
