If you create a short URL for your blog, and tweet or share it somewhere, you can track who clicked on it. It's useful to see where folks are most likely to click on your post.

Short URLs are links that you normally put in your tweets or blogs. Active rain tracks these.

David Baker Realtor - Laveen Homes for sale - when you create a short url, promote it on social media sites. If someone clicks there, it counts as a click on short url.
Twitter is perhaps the best example for this....post your short URL on Twitter.

If you look at the top of each of your posts you will notice a short url button, ust this to generate a url that can be pasted into fb or other places in an effort to determine how many clicks you will get from this place.

The short URL is for sharing on social media, your blog, etc. insead of using the long URL. Helps keep track of how much traffic from other places besides your AR post.

Keep the url link brief so you can past on other websites which have a smaller space. That is the only link I believe Google is tracking you on popularity and ranking you. I oversimplified it....

You would have created it on your post for prople to click on and get more information; generally shows in blue on your post. Or a back link.
Hope this helps.
