  So I use bit.ly for non-transactional links in my marketing emails (blog, twitter, etc.).

  I received 1800+ clicks to the blog in my last email and site stats didn’t pick this up. I saw on a previous forum that you filter bitly clicks? Is there a way to retroactively get those site clicks added, and going forward I will just not use bitly?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There’s no way to restore those referral links. Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but let me know if there’s anything else I can do.

  No worries. I’ll just add them manually in this month’s report and put a note. Going forward I will not use bitly. Thanks anyway!

  Do you recommend another bitly-esque service to track unique clicks from a link? (That WordPress will track properly)?

  You could try using a bit.ly-esque service that lets you create your shortlinks with your own domain.

  I will admit, I’m not completely up with all the shortening services lately as I personally haven’t had a need for them in a while. I can dig into it further if you have more questions though. :)
