FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers about tracking, privacy, and how LinkSho works.

What does LinkSho remove from my URLs?
LinkSho strips common tracking and ad parameters — including utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, and other click IDs — before shortening your link. The destination page stays the same; only the messy query string is cleaned.
Is LinkSho free?
Yes. LinkSho is free to use. You can shorten links without creating an account. Sign up when you want a dashboard to manage links, view analytics, export reports, and use API keys.
Do you sell my data or show ads on my links?
No. We do not sell your data or inject ads into your short links. There are no interstitial pages before redirect. Analytics are click counts and basic referrer/device info to help you understand traffic — not a data brokerage.
Do I need an account to shorten a link?
No. Paste a URL on the homepage and get a short link immediately. Create a free account to save links to your dashboard, set custom slugs, enable public stats, archive old links, and access the API.
How does click analytics work?
Each time someone visits your short link, we record a click with timestamp, referrer, device type, browser, and country when available. You can filter by date range, exclude bot traffic, export CSV or PDF, and share a public stats page if you enable it.
How is LinkSho different from Bitly or TinyURL?
LinkSho strips tracking parameters before shortening, does not show interstitial ads, and focuses on honest click analytics. See /compare for a side-by-side look at LinkSho vs Bitly and TinyURL.
