Gathering statistics about your downloads

I know it’s a bit late to get the nice after competition statistics, but if you haven’t been doing so already, you can use bit.ly to gather a small extra bit of statistics for your download/click-through information on your game. The service is free; and the setup is as simple as pasting in your current URLs and using the bit.ly shortened URLs instead.

Then, you can track your stats by logging into your bit.ly account, clicking on your “bitmark” for the other URL, clicking the little i, and then the other little i next to your simple stats. It then breaks down your click information by time, referral website, and location.

If you provide bitmarks for all of your various versions, you can see the popularity split among the different platforms as well.

It’s a neat little free tool that I hope people can use to their advantage.
