So we use bit.ly and su.pr for URL shortening here and at GANB – and both are excellent. Today we wanted to show why we use su.pr on certain posts.

First off – it allows you to post to both Twitter and Facebook.

We’re all about ease of publishing to content outposts here…

Secondly there are some great stats that come with it – including “Suggested Posting Time”.

And last – when a URL is submitted to su.pr it is automagically syndicated to the StumbleUpon network – which has been sending us significant amounts of traffic for years. You can see here in the detailed statistics how many times the link was clicked and how many re-tweets it had. And you’ll see the arrow pointing at a number in the image below – that’s how much traffic was generated through the SU network after the link was syndicated there.

The additional traffic su.pr sends via the StumbleUpon network is an awesome value-add and a good reason to use this service over other URL shorteners when sharing your content.
