There are often reasons why it may be helpful to disguise the URL of something you are promoting. Perhaps with an affiliate program such as ClickBank where it may put off readers if they see it is a ClickBank product. Or maybe where the URL is very long.For whatever reason there are a several ways by which a URL can be disguised. Here are a couple of easy to use free examples.
Suppose you have the following URL, which you want to disguise:
(1) http://seeker76.maverick66.hop.clickbank.net
/?tid=MAVMONEY
You could disguise it, via WhyLong.com, and it would become:
(2) http://whylong.com/469
Or you could use this one from tinyurl.com:
(3) http://tinyurl.com/5enuu9
All three links will go to the same product.
Or as another example, what looks better and is easier to handle:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470246677?ie
=UTF8&tag=celebinsid-20&linkCode=as2&
camp=1789&creative=390957&
creativeASIN=0470246677
or
http://whylong.com/470
Both WhyLong.com and tinyurl.com are simple to use and don't require any form of registration.
Good luck,
Mike.
