| Feb 11, 2014 at 15:59 | comment | added | Peter | I not sure how correct is this, perhaps some other friend can comment further on this. if the shortened url is permanent redirect then doesn't actually lose weight, but if temporary redirect, minor effected. If the shortened url is purely forward (using php or javascript) then chance are link juice will be lost. | |

I don't think there is ever a usability benefit of shortening URL's unless you customise the shortened URL (i.e goo.gl/MyReport).
