Ask an Ambassador-What's This Generate a Short URL Thing and What Does it Do

 

If you look at the bottom of your blog post you will notice something that says Generate Short URL.  Often times this little handy tool gets unnoticed because folks don't really know what it is...which I am sure is why you are asking the question of what exactly it is.

 

 

 

Well, it's simply a tool that generate a short link about your post that you can copy and paste to share your post on sites such as Facebook, Twitter and hey even the comment section of certain blog posts such as contests.  Basically it makes it easier to share your content.  In the past when you wanted to share your content you would need to highlight the long URL and the top of your browser bar and copy and paste it.  Sometimes the URL in the browser gets a tad lengthy and you may miss some of the code, thereby rendering it useless to share.  Additionally, sites like Twitter only allow a certain amount of characters and the Short URL code allows you to post to Twitter with a bit of an explanation on what you are sharing.

 

With the Short URL code, you have a little bit of code to copy and paste and it's a done deal.  By the way, you can also generate the Short URL code on other's blog posts to share their content as well.  You don't get any credit for a Reblog or anything, but it's an easier way to link to their post if there is a post you want to write to reference their content such as a counter point or an inspiration post as just a couple of examples.

 

 

 

You will notice that once you share your post on FB, Twitter or link to a comment, you can click on over to your Traffic Area and look at the Short URL Clicks and see how many clicks you received.  Usually, the more sites you share that code to, the more clicks you will have.

 

 

 

So, there you have it.  That's what the Generate a Short URL Click is.  By the way, Active Rain includes this to you for free.  There are other sites that you can go to purchase or create Short URL codes for your content, (some may be free, I'm not sure)  You don't necessarily need to use Active Rain's, but it's pretty convenient being right there and all.
