Hi William, thanks for the question.

It’s saying that it’s most accurate if each social media status updated is tagged for each channel when pasted into bit.ly, e.g. see: http://www.dreamgrow.com/how-to-tag-social-media-links-for-google-analytics/
It’s easiest to integrate a social media management service with GA, e.g. see http://blog.hootsuite.com/hootguide-google-analytics/

Does this mean that if I customise my website’s own bit.ly, it’ll show a more accurate report without the need to tag the URL?
