Ranjan, you are right. Tracking well is also necessary. I think you should try google short links and stick on to it, because it is sure google lives longer. Google has recently announced they will improve their product. We can hope analytics of short urls become better.

thank but short url working in nofollow link in other website
Rahul, Even though it is dofollow or nofollow. we can track the links easily as well as it is 301 redirect which actually get the traffic ranks to your own page. Isn’t that cool?
I have not seen much use of this on Twitter. People are using other services for url shortening. Do you think goo.gl will catch on some time soon?
So when you start making your next promotional campaign add these one-syllable words to your AdWords campaign. Shall we say, ‘Would you want to lose eight pounds in five days?’ you may receive more clicks this way instead of if you essentially asserted : ‘Lose eight pounds in five days click here.’ Always put your classified ads in a query format. And , these systems are extremely straightforward to adhere to.
There are several factors which settles where your site will rank including website age, important content for example. As an example if your niche was ‘investing’, then you would create articles related to this niche like ‘investing for beginners’, or ‘how to invest’ and so on.
