Performance of a Paid Tweet

Thanks for sharing the stats on your end. Advertising as a whole is a test and check game. You test different placements, find what works, and continue on that path. We have many advertisers very happy with their sponsored tweets through BSA.

If you're interested we could help make recommendations of accounts that may have a more relevant audience. Let me know if there is anything else we can help with. Send us an email at [email protected] if you'd like to discuss further.

I was considering buying paid tweets through your service and ultimately decided against it. You shouldn't be forcing your own URL shortener on paid tweet placements. If I don't care for your click reporting, I should be able to opt out of it.

We can help with that. What benefit do you see to having t.co shorten your links instead of us? :) A redirect is a redirect, no?

t.co is Twitter's native shortener, so if anyone's parsing Twitter's data they will support it. Yours - not so much, e.g. see squarecat's comment on how your domain is blacklisted by his content filtering firewall.

we're not opposed to letting folks opt-out of our click tracking. i've added this idea to a bucket within the queue for new ideas.
