Short URL salvation

by angela.booth on September 15, 2008

If you’re a keen Twitter user, as I am (I’m angee on Twitter), you know that one of the downsides is the “short URL” syndrome. Twitter shortens your URLs, which cuts down on the SEO benefits.

But happy days are here again because Cligs, the new URL-shortening service, offers SEO-friendly URLs.

cli.gs: Short URLs with analytics says:

“Cligs forwards with a 301 Permanent Redirect so your destination URL gets full SEO benefits of the link. If you are an affiliate marketer, this means you can hide your backlinks, get traffic, get statistics, and get the SEO benefits.”

In addition, Cligs offers URL tracking with analytics, so you can see exactly where your traffic is coming from. I can’t wait to experiment with this new service.
