Favorite Web Site Of The Week

There are so many web sites and so little time. If you are like me, you can get lost in the sea of free information that is the web. We are made aware of web sites via newsletters, from friends and myriads of other sources.

There are a lot of sites out there that help you with so many things, and so much is free.

Here is a web site that is free and can help you in many ways:

http://www.snipurl.com/

This site allows you to enter a URL and out comes an abbreviated URL. Why should you care?

If you have long URL’s in your newsletter or ezine you should consider shortening it with this type of service.

Another main reason for using SnipURL is to hide your under laying URL. Such might be the case if you are an affiliate and promoting other vendors web sites. By ‘cloaking’ your under laying URL with SnipURL, you can inexpensively make sure that your visitor gets to the vendor site with your affiliate links in tact.

SnipURL is essentially a redirection service. When you send a friend or ezine readers a SnipURL, they click on that URL, which redirects them to the under laying URL. Go to their web site to check it out.

If you register with them, you gain access to some nice tools and a report section that gives you some stats on numbers of clicks. You can even password protect your SnipURL’s if you are registered.
