Clicks and statistics

Each short link counts how many times someone has clicked.

What's counted

• 1 click = 1 open of the short URL on the web.
• Repeated clicks from the same user are counted (we don't use cookie deduplication).
• Bots are not filtered — social networks (LinkedIn, Twitter) load the link for previews, adding 1–2 clicks.

Where you see the numbers

On the main Short URL page next to each row:

• Big number with clicks.
• Next to it: relative creation time.
• Next to it: when the link expires (if it has an expiration).

Example display: 127 clicks · 3 days ago · expires in 4 days.

What's NOT recorded

• Click source (referrer) — not stored.
• Country / city — not stored.
• Device / browser — not stored.
• Time series (graph) — not yet, only a total counter.

What IS recorded internally

In the database we store each click with a timestamp (logged_at). That means:

• We can later add a click graph over time.
• We can add a daily summary (clicks yesterday).

If you need more detailed metrics, email us at info@pmgclub.com and we'll prioritize it.

Resetting clicks

You can't reset the click count to 0. If you want a "clean start", delete the link and create a new one with the same target URL.

Privacy

Click tracking doesn't require cookie consent — no personal data is stored, just an anonymous event timestamp. This is a legitimate interest for your own link statistics.
