Watch out TinyURL, Cligs is much better for us!

I think we all understood why it's important to make long URLs shorter when we needed more character space in the limitation of 140 characters on Twitter....
So far TinyURL is doing a great job on that, but prevents you to see statistic data that can be valuable for you.

Cligs is taking one step forward and allows you to see the stats of the submitted links. Within your Cligs account, you can create an unlimited number of cligs, with an unlimited number of cligs pointing to the same destination URL. This means you can drop different cligs into different sites and watch their traffic evolve over time.
For example: two cligs pointing to the same destination can be used one in a forum and one on twitter and then the traffic from each one is tracked by Cligs.





At the moment, the available analytics are:

• Total number of hits
• Referral statistics
• Recent mentions of the clig itself on twitter
• Recent links (mentions) of the clig on blogs
• Recent web links to the clig
• Recent mentions of the destination URL on twitter
• Recent blog links to the destination
• Recent web links to the destination
• Delicious bookmarks of the destination
• Total number of links to the destination

You need to sign up to the service if you want to track your link stats (you are the only one that can see the statistics). However, you can use the service without registration as well.
