URL Shortener With Tracking zp.rs

When trying to distribute your blog or certain post online it’s very helpful to use URL shorteners, because they can make even the longest URL perfect for when your word count is limited.
For instance: I use Twitter a lot. Most of my permalinks for posts are too long, which doesn’t leave me much room to add anything in lets say 140 characters.
That’s where the URL shortener comes in handy.
The new site I’ve discovered is zp.rs Why I love this site more than others? Because it’s not only giving me the shorter version of my URL, but also lets me track how many hits the specific URL got.
To be able to view the hits, you must sign up. It’s simple and there is no verifications or anything that forces you to use this service all the time. Love when there is no strings attached.
By simply registering (user name, password, email) you will be able to track how many hits your shortened URLs got. Of course if you don’t care for the count of hits you can always use the zp.rs without registering. This is how you’ll see your list of shortened URLs and number of hits.
When you shorten your URL you will be able to copy it or directly share with all social networks, all emails…options are unlimited! Just look at the list!
Give them a try. I’m sure you’ll love this site!
I’ve never heard of that one but I’ve been using bit.ly
I use to use bit.ly, than the google one goo.gl, but this one is the only one that gives me how many hits I actually got on my URL, which is very nice!
Hey,
I was looking for short URL sites and Firefly comes up in Google Blogs, nice. zp.rs looks very promising and I will definitely try out.
