What url shortening service would you recommend?<br>

<br>
I wouldn't, but I do understand that that is not terribly helpful. If<br>
you are going to use one, follow a link created by that service while<br>
watching your HTTP traffic - you will be able to spot obviously<br>
nefarious or brittle behaviour pretty easily.<br>

<br></div>
yes, it has been said that url shortening will seriously foul up the future indexing of the interweb. To combat this, use shortnames in your sites, and look for them in other sites, when you link.<div><div></div><div class="h5">
