Always getting different "anonymous" clicks from Twitter?

So I know we are allowed to post three links to Twitter for each creature. I personally use a direct link, the MS provided Twitter bit.ly link, and goo.gl. I get a minimum of 6 "anonymous" clicks by doing this, but sometimes get as many at 14. How does this happen?

Secondary question, I know we are allowed to submit the direct link as many times as we want on twitter, are we also allowed to do that with *identical* links from the link shorteners (as in, the exact same shortened link submitted before, not a new shortened link from the same link shortener)?

Thanks for any input/help! ^_^

I know what you're talking about, but I'm not entirely sure why this happens either. Just dismissed it as a strange quirk :lol: Maybe Twitter's crawlers decided to check out your link twice because the pet looked interesting :derr:

As far as I know, yes. ^_^

Anonymous clicks can literally be anyone not a member of the site. Anyone who follows you or the hashtag.

How do you post the goog.le link? I have always used the bit ly and direct link and knew there was a third, but I don't know how to get it?
