Shortened urls have many advantages. They save space in your article bio or PPC ads and cloak your links effectively. There are many free services like bitly, tinyurl etc, but relying on free third-party services which may go down or one day just disappear, will leave your links leading to nowhere; also loss of customer credibility, website traffic and your objective of making direct or affiliate sales!

* Free by placing the service on your existing TL domain name. However, to make the service 'anonymous' like this one, register a new, short domain name for $9 at GoDaddy etc. and add it on to your host account if you can. Otherwise open a new web hosting account that offers multiple domains running on a single account at no extra cost.

For a cheap (from $3.50 p/m) unlimited domain name hosting service, try
HostMonster, HostGator, iPage or JustHost (USA) and 123-reg in the UK.
These web hosts include a free domain name for life in the price.

which not only creates links but tracks all traffic to your shortened urls? See below.

You can see both the short and original url, the number of hits
and exactly when and from where those hits came:
