To double check, replicate the campaign and look at the tracking options you selected. Of course, you could also just fetch and inspect the Location header in the response, but using the API has two advantages: It won't update the short URL's click stats, so you can fetch a bunch of long URLs without worrying about messing up analytics. Maybe, the footer bar and the after post banner is working the best, but your sidebar ad is not. HasOffers stores the value of ad_id as the transaction ID for the session.
For consistency, use your URL shortener whenever possible, rather than mixing your own custom domain with other generic ones. All thats left is to simply copy this tracking URL and send it off to the respective network to let them do their work!! But otherwise, the free account is useful enough for comprehensive link tracking.
Redirect parameters, however, always supercede any other setup. Publish one custom branded short link on my business card, then keep the destination URL updated so that people are always taken to my latest blog post when they visit.

URL shorteners are nothing new, Tiny URL has been around for 100 years, but WP.me is different in a few ways. How often do you get that kind of data from printed marketing? Some websites prevent short, redirected URLs from being posted. Use remarketing links to repeatedly get my brands in front of interested eyeballs.
