Need to reduce links in large quantities?If you need to shorten a large number of short links, use our API , or the basic functionality available at the link .Shorten hundreds of links with us and get thousands of clicks with statistics from SurliIs this service an analogue of Google's shortener?The once-famous goo.gl service was super popular, and the discontinuation of its support prompted the development of similar shorteners. clck, cuttly, bittly, and many others provide online link shortening. Some have ceased to exist, and we at Surl.li plan to develop the service and make it deeper and more convenient for managing your addresses.A short link service, or “URL shortener,” is a site where you can turn your long link into its short and convenient counterpart - a short link.How does the short URL service work?The user inserts a long URL (final link) into the appropriate field, the shortener writes it to the database and assigns a short analogue on the shortener domain (e.g. surl.li/aaa). The shortener stores the connection between the two URLs and provides a redirect from the short URL to the final link. Thus, the short link itself will be directly associated with the final URL. Search engines and indexing bots can identify both links and recognize their “glue”.What are the benefits of short URLs?Short links have a number of undeniable advantages:* Useful for marketing and SMM - short URLs save characters in posts and SMS newsletters;* Easy to remember and can be used alongside QR codes in printed materials;* In personal communication, in messengers, a short link is easy to transmit, has a neat appearance, and will never be cut off by the algorithm of the social network or messenger;* A short URL provides complete statistics on conversions, number of clicks, geolocation, and much more. Short link statistics can supplement or even replace the use of UTM in certain situations.What Spider does on surl.li
