If you use a third-party for some of your emails, you might use that third-party's name. The goo.gl service provides analytics details and a QR code generator.[citation needed] On 30 March 2018 Google announced that it is "turning down support for goo.gl over the coming weeks and replacing it with Firebase Dynamic Links" (although existing goo.gl links will continue to function).[19] Advantages[edit] The main advantage of a short link is that it is, in fact, short, looks neat and clean and can be easily communicated and entered without error.[20] To a very limited extent it may obscure the destination of the URL, though easily discoverable; this may be advantageous, disadvantageous, or irrelevant. It's useful to know whether your user's screens have such capabilities, so you can build your site accordingly. A total of five parameters are automatically appended when you enable Google Analytics: utm_campaign: will automatically be the name of the campaign as it appears in Sailthru. utm_medium: will automatically be “email”. utm_source: will automatically be “Sailthru”. utm_term: will automatically be the name of the sending list as it appears in Sailthru. utm_content: if you are sending an AB Split or AB Winner or Auto Winner Campaign, this utm parameter will be added to your links. It's one of the most widely used options out there, and you'll often find it integrated with lots of other services as well as third party apps like TweetDeck and TwitterFeed.

This method can create some clever domains and also have the advantage of using the domain extension itself as part of the word or words you're trying to convey. If a URL with missing protocol is submitted in a browser address bar the http:// is automatically assumed.
On Twitter and some instant-messaging services, there is a limit to the number of characters a message can carry – however, Twitter now shortens links automatically using its own URL shortening service, so there is no need to use a separate URL shortening service just to shorten URLs in a tweet. Don't use your company name: URL shorteners can also be formed from product names, words common to your industry, slogans or even slang. Tap the address bar once to highlight all of the text contained within it. Actions Shorten a long URL The Google URL Shortener API allows you to shorten URLs just as you would on goo.gl.

In this case, each character in the sequence will be 0, 1, 2, ..., 9, a, b, c, ..., y, z. You can shorten a link right away, although you’ll need to enter a CAPTCHA code. Once you click the share link, in addition to the social networking services you should see the URL of the video that can be copied and pasted anywhere.
