A friendly URL may be desired for messaging technologies that limit the number of characters in a message (for example SMS), for reducing the amount of typing required if the reader is copying a URL from a print source, for making it easier for a person to remember, or for the intention of a permalink. If a URL with missing protocol is submitted in a browser address bar the http:// is automatically assumed. So if your link is as long as a giraffes neck, coupled with the rest of the tweet, you will definitely find yourself truncating the text and even break the whole thing.
Unfortunately, the data would be so inconsistent as to be unreliable. Using it for spamming or illegal purposes is forbidden and any such use will result in the TinyURL being disabled and you may be reported to all ISPs involved and to the proper governmental agencies. TinyURL: This shortener use to be all over the internet; however, lately it has died down. Additionally, this website is designed to be easy to use with any smartphone or tablet.
How Our Link Tracking Works With LinkTrackr, creating tracking links is easy. WP.me is the only two-letter .me domain in the world. This has been risky in the past because errors can result whenever users manually enter links. Please note: anyone with a t.co shortened link will be able to navigate to the destination URL. The Summary tab shows all clicks on different ow.ly and ht.ly links shared over the course of seven days. You can use this service with or without an account.
To enable outbound link tracking, you need to add a little javascript to your website, and add a little code with each outgoing link that you want to track. When you or Sailthru includes a link in your email to example.com/item/123, your email recipients will instead receive a link URL beginning with link.example.com and ending in a tracking code.
A circumvention could be that a website provided its own shortlinks instead of relying on a third-party shortening service – but this is not common. Examples of this are rickrolling, redirecting to shock sites, or to affiliate websites. Then, use the tracking link in your ads and promotions. For consistency, use your URL shortener whenever possible, rather than mixing your own custom domain with other generic ones. After that, you can skip ahead to the section describing whichever action you would like to perform.
