A summary of the video above is as follows

* Use a service called bit.ly that can be found at http://bit.ly/

* Bit.ly is used to shorten long ugly links so that they can fitted into social networks like Twitter that have a limit on the amount of characters that you can use. For example: http://myaffiliatelink.com/uityjgihsytightuisyay87383sk

* Bit.ly is used to make long ugly links look more attractive and readable. You can customise the tail of the link to whatever you want providing it has not been used before.

* Once you have shortened your links you are able to track the amount of clicks the link has received as well as statistics of where those clicks have come from and how many clicks per day or week.

* Bit.ly is free and costs nothing to use.
