LinkedIn URL Shortening

You might be wondering, why did LinkedIn shorten my already shortened URL?

The answer is simple; they also want to track who clicks which URLs in posts and Ads on their system as they need to capture the attribution and show their customers how boosted posts and paid Ads are working for them.

The key takeaway here is that both systems are tracking the URL clicks, and yes you will see this activity on your QIVIR dashboards and reports for anyone who has clicked a shortened URL in a LinkedIn post or Ad that you created with a shortened URL from the QIVIR platform.

This is most likely something you will experience on other platforms as everyone needs to capture attribution so show how their campaigns are performing.
