Help!! The system sends me an error message when I attempt to create custom branded link.

If you receive the error message:

An error occurred: 400 Bad Request

when attempting to create a customized link, then that branded URL (alias) is taken by the Simple URL Shortener community and is no more available

If someone already before you has saved a custom short link with the alias, b2b.gd/example you would not be able to use ‘example ‘ as the custom keyword ending for your link on the b2b.gd domain.

When you chose a custom name alias for your links, then keep in mind that those custom keywords are uniquely and permanently associated with the link it was first saved with.

Changing your custom keyword on a short link does not free up that custom keyword alias for use on other shortened links that you or other users create, so be sure to carefully choose your branded alias keyword wisely because you can only use it once and custom keywords are also case sensitive!

A custom branded link refers to a link that has either or both a custom domain name and a custom alias (custom keywords.) included in the generated short link. A custom branded link does not include automated random generated character strings in the half-back.

Custom Link examples

• Custom branded link: https://b2b.gd/marketing
• Custom branded short url: https://shorturl.gg/summersale
• Automated generated generic link: https://shorturl.gg/3fXs

You can view change and edit all your links from within your account and manage all aspects from there.
