Tiny URL

I've been using tinyurl.com since i start my blogging a couple of years back. It helps me with some of the long affiliate links that potentially will break when you send emails & promotions to your recipients. This website offers free service by shorten the long url to a short ones that won't break and it never expires.

Example:
http://www.pugster.com/Silver-Foil-Gray-Flower-Dichroic-Glass-Pendant-And-Earring-Set/p_SET_YS17_XML

into this tinyURL : http://tinyurl.com/y7lg8se

you may want to customised your own unique alias which may contain any letters, numbers and dashes. This alias will be usable forever and wherever you want to paste it.

It is highly recommended if you want to hide your affiliate link just because you don't want people to know it is an affiliate link. Sometimes, an obvious link might get scammers to use your link to benefit their account! So it is somewhat a safety precaution taken as well.

So try it here because it's FREE.
