View Click Stats on Bitly or Goo.gl Short URLs

You may already know that you can view click stats on Bitly short URLs by adding + to the end of the URL, like this:

You can also view data on Google short URL clicks by inserting the shortened ID of a goo.gl URL into a longer Google URL like this (I find that I have to click this link twice to see the metrics):
