What's really sad is that Facebook, etc does not control Spam/Malware/Spyware/Adware and when you report a link as being invasive by copying the 'scorecard' like this one, posting it with your complaint, and then their administrators do nothing about it!
I personally uses tracking links which is shortened using 9nl.com. So I can say that, it's like a perfect tool for shortening and tracking your URLs and not a spam site. You get all the tracking information from this short link. It's quite natural that some of the people ( I must say a very few percentage) uses it for spamming their products. But I think this site administrators are taking right actions to block those links. I can see those features in my account too (fortunately I don't have a blocked link yet!). So my verdict is an UP for this site.
I personally uses this service and I don't see any threatening problems with 9nl.com. Actually, it's a link shortening and tracking service from it's sister site (clickmeter.com). II saw the comments below from some of the people telling that it's a spam site. I wonder why they speak like this since 9nl itself does not host any content. It's just a redirecting tool which will track all the information about the visitor. Hence you can't blame on 9nl.com for the content of the destination url.
I know this service very well and it's not a spam site. They are link tracking and shortening service. Not at all responsible for the content of the spam site. Spammers actually trying to hide their actual URL using 9nl link shortening and they could even track the visitors flow to their website. But there is nothing to do with the domain or this website.
I'm the founder and CEO of ***** and 9nl.com!
ClickMeter is an online analytic service based on link tracking http://(www.clickmeter.com ).
We have plenty of happy customers who use their ClickMeter account for their campaigns monitoring. Currently we are counting thousands of subscribers with millions of links served around World each day.
Unfortunately, as we all know, there are (bad) people who uses services (included ClickMeter) to spam others. In our case it's only about 0.001% of the total links we serve. ClickMeter or 9nl do not have any connection with these spammers! We hate spam and not requested messages in general!
Whenever we receive a notification regarding spam activities, we take that seriously and immediately investigate. In case we found evidence of malicious behaviours we remove the links within 24 hours and even suspend the account permanently to avoid future spamming.
We see spamming as a very serious offense against the privacy of the people. Hence we improved our anti-spam policy and put lots of effort to make our system spam free. As part of this, we developed an automatic system to check the probability of a destination URL to be a spam and we block it before going live.
Thanks for your help in making the Web a better place.

It's we who decide what's the future of a site. Actually the intention of the site is great! May be some people misuses it. But I should say they are making a good step against the spam accounts. Over all, the site is very good for tracking our links, campaigns in the easiest way!
