Bit.ly is a helpful solution. For my clients that have a strong branding strategy, I recommend using the custom domain solution from Budurl.pro. Provides the same type of statistics, generates a QR Code for the URL if desired and also provides the option to create a mini-site (landing page) all at the same time.

My company is Fill the Funnel and I was able to secure http://FTF.sh/???? as my own branded shortener, allowing me to have complete control over the 4 digit extensions as well as some recognition of the URL itself. An additional benefit is that you are able to use 4 letter extensions compared to Bit.ly which is at 6 digits the last time I checked. If Twitter characters are important to your efforts, it can make a difference.

Always enjoy reading your blog Michael, keep up the great work.

Michael,

Love this blog! As a member of an Agency Biz Dev team, I find it invaluable.

An important note on URL shortening with bit.ly: bit.ly is a super slick great service, which I undortunateky have to advise against due to issues with Libyan government interference with .ly domains. http://benmetcalfe.com/blog/2010/10/the-ly-domain-space-to-be-considered-unsafe/

I’d look for other alternative providers.
