If you are investigate factors that can help you to optimize your site I am sure you saw a lot of discussion about short URL. But do you know what does that mean? Why people put so much attention to the length of their URLs?

The service I am describeing is on Anti Black SEO.

First of all, you can have some kinds of links:

  • Link from your site e.g affiliate link.
  • Link to your site e.g back link.
  • Simply long or strange link that you wan to share

    • Let's discuss each of them.

    Link from your site

    For instance you have received affiliate link http:/ /afflink?id=12&type=bonus and put it direct to your site you have at least 2 factors where you can lose you traffic.

  • Some users understand that when they click on the banners or links they allow to earn money to affiliates and some of them can be so clever that they will copy http:/ /afflink to their browser and go dirrect to the advertiser's site. And it is very bad for you because you attract that users and receive nothing. Solution, use service short url and your users will have no choise to go to the your advrtiser just through your affiliate link. This simpe service can increase your good traffic up to 20%

    Link to your site

    If you have put your link to the site of your fiend or you have bought link on another site it is good idea to get more details from the users that have come to you. One of the way you can add some parameters e.g. http:/ /mysite?from=modestsite&page=deep_lost. And possible you want to hide from the site owner and his users your technical details but it can help you to increase your earning so you have nice service Short URL

    One more. If you have found place where you can get page with your URL but only in dynamic mode. E.g you have found site with internal search and when you put to the search <a href=yoursite>yoursite</a> you can see something like this: "you request yoursite was not found" with link to your site and if you copy long URL that you receive after your experiments and put it to your link ferm or to your doorway and you have good chance to get backlinks from the good sites. But you will be confused by the length and format of the receiving link in that way. Do not panic use service Short URL

    Simply long or strange link that you wan to share

    Here we have situation e.g. you have found interesting page but it has to long URL after converting it with service short URL it will look nice and even possible that you will remeber it and of course it will be easy to share it by telephone or verbal in your conversation.

    Or if you have found something interesting on the site with name like "pornoxxx", but it does not related to the information that you have found just use short URL to avoid confusing of your comunity
