How to get a backlink from Bitly

Just open the main page, log in, and paste your project’s URL into the shortener field at bitly.com.

Note: Bitly links, like other URL shorteners, generally do not provide direct SEO (Domain Authority) juice.

1. NoFollow Tags: Bitly uses the rel="nofollow" tag on their shortened links. This means that search engines like Google do not pass PageRank from the shortened link to the destination page.

2. Redirect Type: Bitly uses 301 redirects, which are SEO-friendly and signal to search engines that the destination URL is the authoritative one. While the 301 redirect itself does not pass DA juice from the Bitly link, it ensures that the destination URL gets any SEO benefits from direct traffic, social shares, and engagement with the link.

Indirect SEO Benefits: While Bitly links do not pass “link juice,” they can contribute indirectly to SEO efforts through increased traffic and engagement.
