Complete List Of URL Shortening Services & Programs
There is no shortage of URL shortening services on the internet. The problem is that there are way too many choices. Thankfully there are plenty of articles and posts about ‘top url shortening services’ so I don’t have to cover that yet. Here, I’m trying to compile a active list of every single URL shortening service that is FREE to use without signing up first. Also, ‘private’ services wont’ be listed here, only public ones like Bit.ly (the one I primarily use).
Here are my requirements for which services are listed:
- Free to use, but a user can sign up IF THEY CHOSE TO
- User does NOT have to sign up to use the service (overlaps with first one)
- Made for public use ( ie, if I made a service on PiotrKrzyzek.com and have urls such as PiotrKrzyzek.com/Cklph which shortens to the url from http://www.Chykalophia.com … I will NOT allow such private services on this list).
- Service must have a decent standing in WOT (Web Of Trust service)
Even though I said this isn’t a ‘top list’ post, here is the quick list of the services that I see internet Marketers use the most (in no particular order):
Though truth be told, all the marketers I see switch using these services just as much as a woman switches shoes. So it really is up in the air. Though Bit.ly and Is.gd seem to be the two top ranking ones.

Google.com is one the best general search engines around, though it is not ’smart’. It’s fully automated and as they say “Computer are fast, accurate, morons.” Thus, if you plan to travel to another country and will be using Google from your laptop you’ll probably get stuck being sent to that countries localized version of Google.
For example, if you travel to Poland and enter in “http://www.google.com” in your browser you will automatically redirected to “http://www.google.pl”. “Google.PL” is the Polish version of Google. But what if you don’t speak or read Polish and need to navigate through it?
All you have to do is go to this link (and bookmark it!):
This is a special page on Google which allows you to change the interface language at will. The “en” is the symbol for English. If you want another language just substitute ‘en’ for the language symbol of your choice. You can get the link to a list of the symbols below.
