So that's how 'clicks' are measured!

Pin It Now!

I use bit.ly frequently. Like I just did to shorten the URL of my blog post, the one below this post. Ten minutes later I'd registered 3 clicks.

And then for some reason I clicked on my post link on bit.ly. It opened my blog post in the same window. So I clicked the back button on my browser to go back to bit.ly and... tada! My click count had risen to four. So I did this little 'click and back' thing another 4 times.

Guess what? bit.ly clocked 4 new clicks to my post.

And all this while I was thinking it was impossible to register more than one click for a single IP address for such counts. Pin It Now!
