    how come i did a Tweet with bit.ly and it showed 30 clicks - but analytics only showed 4

    seems like a large difference on that?

    This happens due to other Twitter users using Twitter APIs to access their account, thus most clicks will actually show up as 'direct traffic'. So basically anyone coming through via a mobile or desktop tools will be using APIs.

    I hope this helps.
