An object ID is an optional attribute that uniquely identifies a file or directory on a volume. However, you need to be aware that all Goo.gl URLs, as well as click analytics are public. Libya, for instance, exercised its control over the .ly domain in October 2010 to shut down vb.ly for violating Libyan pornography laws.
Can generate transcribable short links in printed brochures for publicity events. However, copy operations do not preserve object IDs, because that would violate their uniqueness. You can use Analytics Events to track clicks on links that take users to a website other than your own.
