What's the Difference between a Shortened Link and a Redirected Link?

Redirect and "shorten only" are basically the same. You can track and redirect to a link that you want to track.

Shorten only (redirect) - This acts like a URL shortener similar to Bitly which just shortens a long URL and redirects the user.

Redirect - this is when the website is loaded on your website using an iFrame, this allows the call to action and retargeting pixels to be appended to the link.
