WHAT IS URL SHORTENING?


  • Url shortening is a process of shortening a long url in to short one. For example : Genuineonlinefreejobs.com can be shortened as gofj.com.
  • Url cannot be shortened manually, because it will not work. So, url is shortened through the tool called url shortener.

WHAT IS THE USE OF URL SHORTENING?

There are many uses of url shortening,

  • Url is mainly shortened to automatically count the number of clicks made per url i.e. it is helpful for webmasters to find how many visitors (unique & repeated) have clicked a particular link. So, they can calculate the number of visitors visited the linked page. 
  • For example : If I post an article link in Facebook, I cannot get complete details about how much visitors had visited my website. If I use a shortened url(ex. gofj.com), I can get complete information (like time, country etc)about my visitors.
  • This information is used by webmasters to improve their website, calculate their sales percentage etc.
  • A nice example : Amazon.com posts a link of new smartphone in Facebook. Interested people would click the link. But, only few would buy the product. This will help amazon.com to calculate the sales percentage from Facebook visitors.
  • The links posted by big companies will not earn money for them instead only it is used for only to get visitors count.
  • The money can be earned through url shortening that shows intermission ads. 

WHAT IS THE USE OF URL SHORTENERS?


  • As said earlier, url cannot be shortened directly by ourselves. It can be done only through the tool called as url shortener.
  • Url shorteners will generate an unique link as shown in the picture below.


  • This shortened url will be saved in url shortener's server. Whenever some one clicks the link, a count will be added automatically. It also counts the unique and repeated visitors. If a visitor clicks the link 3 times in a day, url shortener will count it as one unique click and 2 repeated click.



TYPES OF URL SHORTENERS:

HOW / WHY DO THEY PAY YOU FOR SHORTENING URL?

  • They pay you for displaying ads in between called as intermission. For example your website is A and the target website is B. When some one clicks a link in A, before they reach B an intermission ad will be displayed for 5 seconds. Once 5 second completes the visitor can continue to the target website using skip ad button. 
  • They pay you in terms of eCPM i.e. rate per thousand clicks or impression. For example : If your link receives thousand clicks you will get $10(varies according to geographical locations).
  • Survey ads will have high eCPM.
