Choosing A Link Shortener There are no shortage of link shorteners out there.

Get everything hooked up Some services, such as Bitly, let anyone create a vanity URL shortener. WordPress links have the structure they do, which is longer, because they’re meant to be permanent and portable. (And of course friendly to search engines.) Even if you weren’t using WordPress, the links contain no arbitrary IDs or other platform-specific implementation cruft so they should be trivial to serve from any system, even if you don’t use WordPress in the future.

But the webmaster of these sites must not give blanket permission to every website that exists on the internet to create links to it. Finally, URL shortening sites provide detailed information on the clicks a link receives, which can be simpler than setting up an equally powerful server-side analytics engine, and unlike the latter, does not require any access to the server. A few well-known websites have set up their own URL shortening services for their own use – for example, Twitter with t.co, and Google with goo.gl.
