If you are promoting an affiliate product, you will be given an affiliate link.
For example,if you are promoting a clickbank product,you may have a link as follows :
http://XXX.clevergiz.hop.clickbank.net?cgpage=keyword-researcher
This is for a product called Keyword Researcher.
You would replace the XXX with your affiliate ID.
However,it doesn’t look very professional,which is why there are a number of URL shorteners available.
2 of the more popular ones are
1 bit.ly
2 Google’s offering called Goo.gl
Again,these are not very professional and don’t relate to your own identity or brand.
My favourite URL shortener ( or link cloaker as it is sometimes known )
is a WordPress plug-in called Pretty Link
It is very easy to use, and to show you how to use it I have made a video below.
