Branded short links with click-to-signup conversion tracking — turns 'did that video work?' into a number.

What it is
A link shortener with real analytics behind it — every short link records clicks, country, device and referrer, and can follow a click all the way through to a signup or a sale. You run it on your own short domain, so the links look like yours.
Why it matters
You are about to publish bilingual tutorial videos. Without unique links you will have view counts and no idea which video earns customers. One branded link per video turns your channel into a measurable acquisition source — and the same trick works for Reddit posts, newsletter sends and directory listings. This is the single highest-information-per-hour change on the page.
- Click-to-signup conversion tracking, not just click counts
- A branded short domain reads as a real company, not bit.ly
- Mature, heavily used, excellent documentation
- Self-hosting is the hardest install on this page — several services and third-party keys
- AGPL core with some features held back for the paid cloud
- You'd want a second cheap domain for the links
No code changes required — the links simply sit in front of Grasppy and ScalpingMate.
