Referral source when using shortened links

Question

Link Shortening

Why, when using a link shortening service (for example, goo.gl) as a referral source, does the real source, and not the service, get into the statistics?

Is it possible to hide (change) from the statistics of the target site the real source of the transition when using a hyperlink?

Answer 1

Strange, like before li.ru/go? the link hid the source (if memory serves)
Okay, let's take for example: refblock.com. Look at the link (mini service for displaying the source), and the source, as you can see, is habr.
On click on refblock.com?http://bit.ly/97jrKC , source will be refblock

Answer 2

anonym.to/

Answer 3

If several characters are not a pity, mb right?
li.ru/go?pw.ex.to/show-referrer

Answer 4

Why not? Try changing the request headers (either a request to a shortened link service, or, if the service is yours, a request from the service to the target site).
