SOCIAL NETWORKS

Hey everybody, I have a question.

I'm going to share the blog posts on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

1) What are the pros (except letter counts) and cons of using shortened links?

2) Which short links should I use, considering that I am going to do it automatically (I want to be it shared with the short link whenever someone clicks "share" button) ?

Thank you!

use bit.ly .. you can find out the clicks obtained on the link by pasting the shortened link followed by a + in browser..

First, You can use Google URL Shortener or Bitly (you can track and traffic for a link).

Second, You can make money by generating traffic through the shorten url, these website pays you - Adfly, Bc.vc, AdFoc.us, P.pw and so on.

  That's a myth. URL shorteners don't save space on Twitter: Twitter Myth: URL Shorteners Save Space - Busted!

Bitly and go.gl are best.

For earning money -
safel.ink is the best as it helps to earn using AdSense as well as by CPM ads.

Shortlinks are best for Twitter. Google and Facebook may or may not use shortlinks and it's still okay. Outside of topic but Instagram disabled shortlinks already.
