Thanks Terea for the input. Tiny url may be a little more redundant now, as googe's url shortener becomes "more fashionable". Probably as google is the more predominant money spinner overall (due to everything they have) of the the two, then more and more sites will accommodate google, to stay in the good books with them, I assume. After all, as google crawls pages, etc they will recognize use of their own products and give "brownie points"?

I had not thought of google rewards! I'll have to give it a try with MaxBounty links.

So far my journey with google shortener is that it likes links to products services etc but not business opportunities. I had made a couple and the links were fine ..for a couple days then a few days later I realized they had blocked them. I've never had trouble with bitly shortener.

My biggest need, learning curve now is getting ready to track my solo ads. I'm looking for a link tracker that can add tags to the same affiliate link so I can monitor what where they get clicked best. Any suggestions?

Hi Allen. There are several apps out there that can record where hot spots on your webpage are that can, for example, help you decide where to place an email sign up form. I'm wondering if they can be adapted to suit what you want. If you key in "link tracker" in the search bar at the top of WA, I can see questions about them in the drop down menu. Maybe someone will be able to help you there. You could also try PM'ing some of our veteran, very cluey members here. Sorry, I don't have a specific answer. Good luck.

A few months ago Vimal, I'd no idea what those weird looking links were that I saw every now and then on people's sites. We have them here at WA, if you click on the grey/white Affiliate Link button.

You're welcome Ken. It just makes it look a lot better if you want to add a link to your site as well.
