"Sometimes Having It Shorter Is Better!"

Sometimes having it shorter is better.

At least that is true when it comes
to your web site address.

Have you ever joined one of the many affiliate
programs that creates a web site address,
URL, for you to promote them that is longer
than even the best stretch limousine in town?

Even though all you have to do is click on it
to get to where you want to be, when a URL
looks like it is two blocks long, it takes away
from the message of your ad copy.

Worse still, many surfers take it upon themselves
to visit the web site you are promoting but ONLY
after they remove your affiliate information.

This defeats the whole purpose of your promoting
an affiliate web site. It can cost you time and money.

So what is the solution?

A URL Redirection Service.

Better still, is the use of a FREE URL Redirection Service.
Here are just a few of the better FREE services online:

Free Redirect URL Service

be given a new URL to replace your two block long

to something much more manageable like:

get cropped by FFA Submission sites, and will provide you

When it comes to a URL, shorter is better.
