Counts clicks twice

[Zavarzin]

I added links to CCount and then shortened with Bit.ly but when I look at statistics CCount shows visits twice.

Is there any solution to this?

Does the same thing happen in you use original CCount generated links?

[Zavarzin]

No, this only happens when I shorten with Bitly.

[Klemen]

It appears Bitly sends a bot to the link used for something like determining popular links.

You can try opening click.php and just below

Code: Select all

define('IN_SCRIPT',1);

add

Code: Select all

if ( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'TweetmemeBot') !== false)
{
	die('');
}

Thanks. But if I insert this code, will my Twitter statistics still show clicks and country or they won't work?

[Klemen]

It will block a bot used by Bitly, not your Twitter account.

[Zavarzin]

I've added the code, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem.

CCount shows 10s times more clicks than Twitter.

In that case I can't be of help - CCount works fine (as proved if you use CCount generated links), but Twitter (or Bitly) probably verifies links and CCount counts visits from their bots.
