Bitly Services

The bitly URL shortening service became popular on

Twitter

after it became the default URL shortening service on the website on May 6, 2009.

It was subsequently replaced by Twitter's own t.co service.

In addition to its main URL shortening service, the website provides tools

to view statistics related to users that click on generated

links.

The company behind bitly launched a similar service, but for online videos

to determine what videos are the most popular on the web.

The company uses HTTP 301 redirects for its links

The shortcuts are intended to be permanent and cannot be

changed once they are created.

URLs that are shortened with the bitly service use the

bit.ly

domain or any other generic domain that the service

offers.

The company offers a paid solution called Bitly Enterprise that provides

advanced branding features.

Companies can use their own custom domains to generate

shortened links

for example, The New York Times uses nyti.ms, and Pepsi

uses pep.si.

This allows the company to push brand awareness on services

such as Twitter but use the bitly

engine to generate the shortened URLs and track

marketing metrics.

Bitly Enterprise also has advanced analytics features

and uses bitly data

to provide advanced social insight tools for companies

and brands.

Information about any short bitly URL http://bit.ly/x is

available at http://bit.ly/x+

(that is, the URL with a plus sign appended)

for examplehttp://bit.ly/QtQET+

This allows users to see and check the long URL before

visiting it.

Since October 12, 2010, users can automatically generate QR codes that

when scanned with a mobile QR code reader, automatically direct users to shortened links.

On May 29, 2012, bitly announced "Bitmarks", a new search feature

with enhanced public profiles and an iPhone app.
