Which URL shortener do you recommend?

Michael Lee · 02-09-2011, 11:58 PM

Hi guys,

I'd like to cloak my affiliate link, but my redirection software doesn't accept links that begin with "https" only "http."

So I'm thinking of just using a url redirection service, but not sure which one is most reliable.

I don't prefer using urls with "url" in the link like tinyurl.com or budurl.com because many people are already used to seeing them and may judge outright that it's an affiliate link.

They are also not used to seeing those that doesn't end with ".com" like ow.ly

I've decided to use notlong.com and was wondering if anyone care to share what they think?

Thanks,
Michael

I use google shortner (goo.gl), with a gmail account, it registers clicks for each url, which I find useful..

I use Su.pr - Drive More Traffic with Your Short URLs! as it allows me to quickly submit articles to stumbleupon.com and then it gives me a lot of clicks...

Oh and by the way. If you use WordPress I can recommend that you use: Redirection – Manage 301 redirections without modifying Apache | Urban Giraffe

I have cloaked tons of affiliate links using this plugin
