to determine what videos are the most popular on the web.

The company uses HTTP 301 redirects for its links
Rockerjay.wordpress.com (c)2014
The shortcuts are intended to be permanent and cannot be
changed once they are created.
Rockerjay.wordpress.com (c)2014
URLs that are shortened with the bitly service use the
bit.ly

domain or any other generic domain that the service
offers.

advanced branding features.

Companies can use their own custom domains to generate
shortened links

uses pep.si.

engine to generate the shortened URLs and track
marketing metrics.
