In addition to its main URL shortening service, the bit.ly website provides tools to view statistics related to users that click on generated links. In order to activate this service, you must first sign up (for free) with bit.ly and be signed in when you shorten your links. Now when you shorten a link and tweet it, your link will show up below the shortening box along with some counters. There are two numbers with your link and most likely it will read zero out of zero.bit.ly offers statistics of the links that it shortensThe top number will tell you the number that you really care about, how many people clicked on your bit.ly link that you just made. If you click on the “Info Page+” link to the right, you can see insights as to when your link was clicked. Buyer beware, however, bit.ly only shows how many clicks you got per minute for the past hour. If you make the bit.ly, tweet it in the morning and forget to follow up on it until the afternoon, you will not be able to see your all-day traffic; you must check it periodically to see how it performs throughout the day. If you are persistent and check throughout the day, you can see what times in the day your linked performed best. You can then use this method over the course of several days, tweeting at different times each day, to test and see when is the best time to tweet your content. If your bit.ly is not used in a tweet and is put somewhere more permanent (like a blog post or facebook wall, etc.), bit.ly’s click-tracking does allow you to see statistics for the past week, month, and overall.
The bottom number shows how many times the original URL has been clicked overall. If the URL is a common page like one from CNN or ESPN (one that might be tweeted by multiple people), it is probable that other people have shortened that same link using bit.ly, and the bottom number shows the number of times that link has been visited through any bit.ly link. By examining this number with your number of clicks (the number on top), you can see how your bit.ly performed compared to everyone else that tweeted that same link.

It is worthwhile to invest in the hard day to day grind of building relationships within your community of interest. This is the core purpose of social media anyway; to develop meaningful relationships that benefit all parties. Lest you turn into the neighbor who comes over to borrow an egg or a rake every single day.Ultimately, earned RTs — where people are so compelled by the subject matter — should be the goal. This is the act that matters, a sign of worthy content.
Peer Discussion (15 minutes)Now It is Time for Us To Ask/Answer Questions and Share TipsLet’s go in alphabetical order by organization name. I want to give everyone a chance to speak for a few minutes. So, please be brief as possible.
