This time I will give tips on how to use free url shortener or link of a website, what is meant by a website link or url is not only the address of a website that contains news or articles like this website but also videos such as YouTube, a social media like Facebook,even a search engine like google can we shorten the url, by shortening the url of these various websites, especially a search engine can make it easier for users if they have to write it directly.
well the most important step to shorten links is to determine the tool that can shorten the links that we have, there are various websites that provide tools to shorten urls that can usually be used if we are logged in or registered, such as bit.ly etc.
almost all of these websites have free plans that can be used with some limitations or lack of features that can be used compared to their paid plans.
- Shorturl.at
But there is also a free website that can be used without logging in or other registrations that you can use directly that is shorturl.at you can access it by searching on google or it can also be accessed via this link shorturl.at
if you don't want to bother or just use url shortener tool for trial or not for professional needs who need detailed analysis of shortened links then this shoturl.at website is right for you.
Well, I'll just explain how to use this shorturl, first of all, of course, we first copy the URL or link that we shorten like the picture above, I use the url from a google search which is usually a long one.
After we copy the url we want, then let's open the shorturl.at website via this link
After it opens, let's paste the url that we have into the box (box1) provided, then we click shorten URL (box2)
Let's wait a moment for the url that was entered will be shortened immediately if the process is complete then the display will change as shown below
As in the example above the url we provided (Box1) has been shortened (box2), then you just need to copy the url (box3) and share it.
But make sure you don't lose the shortened url because this website doesn't require registration or login, so the way to track and calculate the count of the shortened url is to paste the shortened url into a click counter tool you can access it by clicking the total of button clicks (box4) see the picture above, the shortened url click count will be displayed immediately
Besides being able to be accessed after the url is shortened, you can also look for the button that leads to the calculation of clicking on the url by looking for it in the footer or under the website (Box1) see the image below after clicking the display will change as shown below
Then you just need to enter the link from the shortened url (Box2) then click track click (Box3).
easy is not how to use shorturl.at to shorten the urls that we have, even though it's easy this website has a drawback that is urls that are generated automatically and can't be changed as we want, next I will give a tutorial on how to create a custom url using bitly url shortener free plan.
- Bitly
We start from registering our account by clicking on this link #link pricing bitly or you can also go to the website from bitly and click get started for free then you will be directed like the picture below then you just need to choose free plan(box1) or Sign up free (Box2)
After choosing one of the two options that I demonstrated above, you will be directed to a display like the one below, you can choose whether to sign up using Google or email.
in this example I will use google, after we choose which account to use then a question will appear that we can fill in or we can skip this example I pass the existing questions, after finishing with all the questions that are then you will be directed to your account where we will shorten the url as shown below.
Now let's click on create link(box1), after clicking, an option will appear in the sidebar as shown below
As shown above, we only need to paste the url that we have into the box long url(box1) besides that there are several other options that are domain(box2) and UTM parameter(Box3) which I will explain in another article and you can access via the link below this
article will be uploaded
This time we only need the url that we have and then we click create (box4) then the url that we have has been shortened, you can see it like the image below (Box1)
besides that we can also set other things from the url that has been made it usually appears after the url creation is complete also if we click on an existing url (Box2) as shown above,
this is where we can customize the link (box3) that has been created as we want then we click save (Box4) if the link already exists, an error (box5) will appear as shown above otherwise the new link will be saved
You can see a detailed analysis of existing links by scrolling down, for the free plan the analysis obtained is the total number of clicks, when the click occurred, from which source and country the link was clicked.
