The “Stats” Option – Cli.gs
Grab yourself a free cli.gs account. Cli.gs tracks all the clicks that someone makes on your links plus you will also get refferrer information and where in the world clicks are coming from.
The “Twitter” Option – TweetBurner
Built just for Twitter, Tweetburner will convert your links into a shortened Twurl as well as tracking how many clicks your shoretened link gets. Pluds post your link to Twitter right from Tweetburner.
