• For example : If I post an article link in Facebook, I cannot get complete details about how much visitors had visited my website. If I use a shortened url(ex. gofj.com), I can get complete information (like time, country etc)about my visitors.
• This information is used by webmasters to improve their website, calculate their sales percentage etc.
• A nice example : Amazon.com posts a link of new smartphone in Facebook. Interested people would click the link. But, only few would buy the product. This will help amazon.com to calculate the sales percentage from Facebook visitors.
