Cligs is a superior SEO friendly URL shortening service that does much more than most url shorteners do.  Cli.gs is a FREE Service which provides users with detailed traffic statistics of the shortened URLs. This is a wealth of information that is not provided by other short url tools such as http://tinyurl.com.

Note : Short URL tools are usually used to clean up long URLs or for micro blogging software such as Twitter and Plurk

Statistics
The Statistics gives you a wealth of information to track and compare how your links are functioning.  Click on My Cligs you will get a list view of all your cligs and how many clicks each clig got.

You can drill to deeper information by clicking on the Admin Button.  Here you can see

• Daily statistics of your clig, how many clicks per day the clig got.
• Referral Statistics.  If you paste your click in different websites, you can see where it is performing best.
• Map View - you can see from where people are clicking on your clig.

SEO Friendly URLs

What really puts Cligs in a level of it’s own is the fact that when it comes to forwarding a url it employs an HTTP 301 redirect.  For the non tech savvy, this is an SEO benefit, whenever you place a link online, the link passes a certain amount of Authority or Link Juice that is passed from one link to another.  With other Url Shortners this is not the case.

Seriously, what more can you ask for by a free web application?

Creating a Clig account is a breeze, 30 seconds and you’re done.  It’s completely hassle free. Take Cli.gs for a test drive!
