The Best Short Link Tools for Business Statistics

Bl.ink homepage screen shot promoting short link with real words. It's clean and inviting.


As of 2023 I’ve spent lots of time using X and Twitter for business and writing about it.

While at it I tested numerous short link tools over the years.

By now there are really good URL shortening services as they were previously called.

Here is a list of the best short link tools for business statistics to use on X and beyond!


Short Link Tools that Track Visitors and Engagement

These short link tools offer some pretty advanced features like

  • visitor statistics
  • campaign tracking
  • personal accounts
  • APIs for creating your own tools
  • SEO friendly links

These URL shortening tools for business X-Twitter usage and beyond make sense:

  1. bit.ly
  2. tiny.cc
  3. bl.ink
  4. cuttly
  5. joturl

The list is based on my own preferences.

bit.ly is still the most popular of those based on user numbers as well.

No matter which tool you prefer you might want to check the performance of your links and track visitors and engagement.


X Shortens and Tracks Links Itself!

Do you really need a paid third party tool to shorten your links?

OK, now you can track your X-Twitter visitors.

By now not only the likes of bit.ly tracks retweets.

X-Twitter’s default t.co URL shortener also tracks!

You can look up your stats using X-Twitter analytics.
