A link shortening service is a middleman, serving up a link that sits between your user and the end result. However it does not include clicks on this link for other Links modules or any other types of modules. It recognises a special ‘cross-domain’ parameter - a bit of text that goes on the end of a link.

Google Analytics does not track outbound links by default. In the Download File Types box, type the file name extensions of the typs of files that you want to be tracked.
