Your Daily Tech-Byte
You must have often come across really lengthy URL’s like the one listed below.
http://images.google.co.in/images?q=images&svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&
client=&rls=:en-US:official&hs=pZY&start=180&sa=N&ndsp=20
Such long links might even be a problem for webmasters who try to keep their website links short, sweet and clean. You might want to shorten your URL’s.
It is very well possible to crop your links. You can find a lot of sites offering you such a service. They make your link look like a page on their site but when you open it, it redirects you to your own page.
As an example, this is the shorter version of the above mentioned URL: http://tinyurl.com/25hnpj
Isn’t this one a lot better than what you witnessed previously?
