And how should you know that as an average user? Without researching the topic I mean.
P.S. And where exactly are you supposed to add the "+" ?
P.S.2 OK, when you add the "+" you don't "see" the target link. You are actually going on the typed url (
http://bit.ly/aNjZvX+ in our case), where you can see statistics like how many times the link has been used, some other things and the
actual target url.
