The practice of short links is to take a very long hyberlink and shrink it to much more user friendly shorter size which makes it more manageable and easy to handle when you need to share it whether it is that you are running a marketing campaign or simple wish to share a link with colleagues, friends on social media, text messages etc.

This is especially true these days where most of our daily internet consumption is to a larger degree no longer through computers , but through smaller devices such as smart phones and tablets where a very long link is more cumbersome to to type and share than a very short link.

For example;
At Simple URL Shortener you can take very long link, (Destination target URL):
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rabobank-its-easier-pretend-our-economic-system-works-and-just-blow-endless-asset-bubbles

and add the long link to our url shortening service and shorten that very long URL to a very much shorter, user friendly and prettier shortened link:
https://shorturl.gg/Xy3

–OR–

if you use our premium service then then you can customize it even further to drive traffic to your website: https://url.ooo/rabobank

The shortened hyberlink will then redirect to the destination target URL either by page redirect (Default option which is security feature that allows the end-users to preview the final destination) or by direct redirect.

Using short link is not only beneficial in terms of traditional and link sharing on the social media networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, running internet marketing campaigns and so forth, but has also benefits in terms of SEO which you can read more about here.

How does URL shortening impact SEO

The SEO sphere is constantly changing and as a business you have to adapt your strategy once in a while to ensure that your rankings aren’t badly affected. As you know, content represents a huge part of your SEO strategy, therefore it is crucial that you don’t miss any opportunities that help you share it properly and efficiently.

When our system issue a short link we do generate them with a 301 redirect which means we pass on the link juice to the target destination.

This is where the use of URL shorteners can come in handy but done take our word for it. Listen to what Google Webmaster Help video with Google’s Matt Cutts has to say about how the shortened URLs are treated.

Simple URL shortener will pass link juice further as we do a 301 redirect which will therefor not lead to an negative impact on SEO. As a matter of fact, shortened URLs are considered by search engines as any regular 301 redirects and they will thus act upon it. Listen below to what Matt Cutt has to say about link shorteners and passing on the link juice.

In all the practice of link shortening can be very beneficial to SEO if done right with branded URLs like for example https://b2b.gd/marketing (which is something Simple URL Shortener offers in our premium plans), and the right SEO strategy implemented and furthermore Shortened URLs have also more aesthetic appeal which can lead to more clicks by the end-users than a non branded URL.

Branded shortened links which is a customized link with your unique combination of keywords to your URL Slug (They can be custom domain name too.), are way more easy to remember than generic short links (Example https://shorturl.gg/4FsX), and because of that they give end-users an indication of the content you’re sharing; search engines like them and so do internet browsers which will increase your click-through-rate.
