There are a number of URL Shortening services out in the market, however many of them are just a duplication of another by using the same idea over and over again. Have an existing idea? How about taking it into a new level by value-adding the idea? This is exactly what Cligs has done with their URL Shortening Service which is enhanced by built-in analytics reports and some other value-added features which we will be looking at in this post.

1) Cligs introduced built-in analytics which allows its users to track the performance of each Clig created in the account. Below is an overview of the analytic data which you will be receiving:

2) Unlimited No. of Cligs for the same destination URL
Wish to track which websites is bringing in more traffic for your Cligs? You can now do that by creating different Cligs for a same destination URL. Eg. I can create a Clig for this post and share it on Facebook. Next, i create a second Clig for this post and share it on Twitter. With the analytics built in, i can easily track which site is bringing me more traffic for this post. Got it?

3) 301 Permanent Redirect - SEO Friendly
