WP Bit.ly uses the Bit.ly API to generate short links for all of your posts and pages. Statistics are displayed for each link from the dashboard.
Love WordPress? Love Bitly? After installing this plugin, you’ll be able to shorten a link and view clicks right from WordPress. Your new links will be saved to Bitly for reference and deeper analysis.
To do that, you must have a Bitly account to use the plugin. Your account is where you store, edit, and view metrics for your links. Register at bitly.com.
No matter the type of site you own (from a personal blog to an ecommerce store and everything in between) Bitly makes it easy to create shorter links and keep an eye on your clicks. Whether you share your links on social, SMS, or email, a short link is easier to manage and remember.

FAQ
After installation, do I need to update all my posts for short links to be created?
