When a link is created to a file, the target file is considered the link source, and the creator of the link is the link client. Here at CoSchedule we bought cos.sc as our custom domain, and integrated it with Bit.ly. If you click the shortened link on bit.ly, you get access to detailed traffic information related to number of clicks, referring Web sites, and geographic locations of the users who clicked.
