Google has additional means of collecting data: you can gather a lot of statistics when you own the top browser and search engine! Although disguising of the underlying address may be desired for legitimate business or personal reasons, it is open to abuse. After using the backlink check tool you can use this tool to further analyze the value of each individual link.
After you click on “Edit” you can change your slug to match whatever keywords (2-5 words are best) you are focusing on in the post.

But like I said, on Twitter, the Twitter folks have already figured out the whole URL shortening thing. But as Dave Winer articulated, there’s no reason we shouldn’t have a shortener ourselves, and here we are. 🙂 People are already using it.
