Making Your Long URL Become Tiny and Simple
by hasan on Jul.14, 2009, under Blogging, Newbie, Tips and Tricks, Tutorial Blog
I have experience when I posted a thread in a forum that I should type very long URL, although eventually I just copy and paste it. Obviously, having a long URL sometimes make you inconvenience, when you writing an email, or when you should post that have word count limited, making your URL shorter is better choice.
There are many services that offer you shorten URL, but right now, I just explain mostly with TinyURL service. Basically, TinyUrl is a URL forwarding service, or people well known as URL Cloaking, URL Masking, that mean the techniques on the World Wide Web for making a web page available under many URLs.
To get your shorten or tiny URL, simply go to TinyURL, then fill the blank field with your long URL, example: http://www.hasannudin.com/tips-and-tricks/using-seo-friendly-urls-for-better-search-results/, then press Make TinyURL!, a tinyURL will be created for you.
We can see that original URL has a length of 92 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters.
If you have many file in your category, you can also make it smaller just add slash and filename. For example: you have category google and seo tips like this URL http://www.hasannudin.com/google-and-seo-tips, by entering to tinyURL you get this URL http://tinyurl.com/mtxhhk. So if you have file under this category, you just add slash and filename. http://www.hasannudin.com/google-and-seo-tips/myfile.php, you can use http://tinyurl.com/mtxhhk/myfile.php
Generally most people sometimes not respect when they know that the URL has affiliate code, Hiding your affilate URL can also be done with this service. Your visitors will not realize that the URL has affiliate code.
Warning: Don’t use this service for spamming or any ilegal purpose that will make TinyURL get disabled.
Another services that work as well as TinyURL are lo.ly, bit.ly, is.gd, tiny.cc, doiop, w3t, alturl, blog-w, and many others or you can find by yourself via google search engine with keyword tiny url or shorten url.

Hello,
i think bit.ly is better because there you can type in your own custom link. It would look like this: http://bit.ly/seotricks instead of http://bit.ly/hdie9
and the other advantage is that you have real-time statistics when someone clicked your link and from which country they came from and from which application they click on your link!
Just look here if you like to get more traffic and earn some more money http://bit.ly/gettraffifandmoney
