 * If using pretty link, are the sites you link to able to see the page on which
   the referral came from, or just the domain?

 * Yes, in most cases they’ll see your referrer with a 30x redirect. Unless the 
   page the link was clicked on was https and the pretty link url is http. I believe
   in that case the referrer is lost (usually).
 * Pretty Link Pro does have some other redirect types that make it possible to 
   change or hide the referrer though. Hope that helps!

 * Thanks. That’s the behaviour I was wanting. Just wasn’t 100% sure.

 * Ah ok. It seems that for some reason 301 redirects can’t be tracked. Is that 
   correct?
 * The PrettyLink website states that The types that are supported are cloak, pretty
   bar, javascript, and meta-refresh.
 * I’m not sure of the implications of using those methods over a 301.

 * Are you referring to Google Analytics tracking? If so, then yes it does not work
   with the 30x redirects currently.
