I like to get as much analytics on my links as possible, so I like to shorten them to help figure out when/where my links were clicked on. I have been using bit.ly, but they don't give me a whole lot of data - I end up needing to create several different bit.ly links in order to figure out which platforms offer the most engagement. Is there a better service for shortening links that will give me more data? Please don't say ad.fly or anything else like that.
I use x.co (great if you have a Godaddy account, it will redirect to Godaddy Url Shortener). I also use (not as much) goo(dot)gl
Bit.ly is definitely the best for marketing purposes. Every link includes analytics which helps you track shares across different networks.

I'd say stick with bit.ly even though it's inconvenient. I was using Google's service but found bit.ly to have a better interface and better analytics.
