Link shortening for your domain

There are many link-shortening services on the Internet, the most famous of which are TinyURL and Bit.ly , and in the future they will be increasingly used due to the growing popularity of microblogging. However, they all have common flaws, the most important thing is the impossibility of understanding the origin of the link from the URL, which opens up broad opportunities for spammers. The analytical functionality of the "shortening" is also not perfect. Therefore, it makes sense to look at the new tool Awe.sm.

Its main advantage is the setting of reducing links through your unique URL, which completely eliminates spammers and increases user confidence in links. For two- or three-letter domains, this is ideal, they can be converted to short links without shredding the current structure of the site. The rest can choose a domain similar in sound. For example, TechCrunch registered the Czech domain tcrn.ch specifically for this purpose.

Secondly, the engine generates unique URLs for publishing in different places, so you can analyze which of the referrers took the link from Twitter, and who from the Lepre. There is a more competent analysis of information flows. All data is exported to the familiar Google Analytics interface. There is also support for Twitterfeed , AddtoAny and TweetFace .

Unfortunately, a subscription to Awe.sm costs money, namely, $ 99 per year (limit is 10,000 URLs per month). This can afford only commercial projects. Probably, the subscription should pay off at serious media portals that publish original content. All the others can wait for the appearance of free analogues, but they are definitely not far off, because the service is very popular, and the service is not so complicated in programming.
