I have mentioned 3 methods for finding analytics, the easy way is the method I.
  •  You have a URL,  let's consider https://goo.gl/zuJzwQ. Now all you have to do is just add .info at the back of the short URL.After adding  .info, the URL will become like this https://goo.gl/zuJzwQ.info, Paste it into your browser's URL bar and hit enter.You'll be redirected to an analytics page within a second.
  • Next way is to add /info in between the URL.Add /info after the goo.gl in the URL.If the URL is 'https://goo.gl/zuJzwQ', will change to 'https://goo.gl/info/zuJzwQ'.Same thing, as before, you'll redirect to the analytics page.

  • This can be a complex one.This is what is happen in the base when you use the above methods.The main redirection URL is https://goo.gl/#analytics/goo.gl/zuJzwQ/all_time , where you'll see the id of the link in between.You can use below syntax for doing this, Just copy id of your particular URL and replace with <id> in the below syntax.

https://goo.gl/#analytics/goo.gl/<id>/all_time
