Bitly’s Branded Domain URLs Now Come with Secure HTTPs As Standard
Paul Sawers | May 18, 2016
Bitly, famous for its ubiquitous URL-shortening service, has announced that it’s partnered with LetsEncrypt to bring HTTPs links to marketers using its branded domain service.
With almost 27 billion links, or “Bitlinks,” shortened since launch, Bitly is probably the most recognizable link-shortening service on the Web. While anyone can shorten a URL through Bitly for free, Bitly has also emerged as a key tool for marketers to track how their content is being shared online and even drive traffic to mobile apps. But more than that, businesses have also been able to procure branded short links, where the “bit.ly” or “bitly.com” element of the URL is replaced by a company’s own shortened domain name.

ReplyDeleteAt some point, when we talk about the importance of this tool in marketing, I would have to say that the bit.ly is really good tool to use for marketing and driving quality traffic of certain website.
