Thanks for spotting the typo Harry, I’ll get it fixed as soon as I can! As Gee says, bit.ly is another great service you may want to check out

G’day Sean,
Started using tinyurl when I first read the 2008 Year Of The Affiliate, and loved it because it was in your words the way to cloak my affiliate links. I recently SHRUNK a 97 character URL to a mere 26 characters. Not Bad, eh ? Check this out. http://tinyurl.com/2adnzr7
I use TinyURL when I friend someone on FB to offer them either SLOA or Mindset Mastery as a freebie – or is it a bribe ?

Currently I alternate between them for no special reason. Noted Gee’s remarks above and will investigate – Thanks Gee.
Cheers
Harry

PS a typo 4 lines up from the last sentence ” SHOULDN’T\'T ” with 2 ” T ” s

Hi Sean,
I once used TinyURl only until bit.ly came along and has stats with it as well, as an added feature. Both sites are very handy especially for cloaking Affiliate links.

Twitter shortens our URL’s with bit.ly and it’s a handy tool. Best thing is that they are both free tools to use for I.M.

Jazz stick with Bitly.
Bitly has some tools that Tinyurl doesn’t have. There is another post about Bitly that explains it. It can do more than I thought. I was just happy to be able to see the stats but there is more to it.

Hi Sean,

I don’t use TinyUrl. I’ve always used Bit.ly. Is TinyUrl a better choice for me to use? Or do they both do pretty much the same thing?
