How Does It Work?

When you visit a URL that's been shortened using URL Unshortener, the original, full URL will always be displayed in a small box at the top of the browser window.

This is so the person visiting the site can still find the original URL if they want to go back and forth between the two. When you click on a shortened URL, the full original URL will be displayed in a small box at the top of the browser window.

Some web hosting companies and SSL vendors offer URL shortening as a service. So if you write about cats and you use the free service provided by Hostinger, for example, when you visit a site with a short URL like bit.ly/cats, you'll see a box at the top of the browser window with the following text:

This is how you can tell the difference between a free and a paid URL shortening service. With a paid service, when you click on a shortened URL, you won't see the original URL displayed in a small box at the top of the browser window.

To make sure that the person visiting your site knows that the content is relevant, you can place text next to the short link. This is called the "tagline" and it provides additional guidance for the end user. When you hover over a shortened URL, you'll see a small box with the following text:

"XTM is short for 'the information you need'." (XTM is an SEO firm based in San Francisco.)

What About SEO?

SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization," which essentially means trying to improve the rankings of your web content in search engines for relevant keywords.

When a web user searches for content relating to your niche, the search engine will display the websites that it finds related to what the user is searching for. These are called "search results."

In order to appear in these results, you need to have high-quality, relevant content that also uses the right keywords. However, this isn't as easy as it sounds. In fact, a lot of online marketers find it difficult to fully optimize their content while staying true to their voice.

For example, if you're an eCommerce store, you might have difficulty branding yourself as an authority in your niche if your product descriptions and blog posts contain a lot of jargon. But if your content isn't optimized for search engines, you can rest assured that it's not going to do your site any favors in terms of appearing in search results.

With that being said, there are tactics that you can use to help optimize your content, even if you don't have a lot of experience with SEO. For example, you can use "hidden text" in the copy for your blog posts and product descriptions. This will help tell search engines that your content is relevant and helps boost your rankings.

Limitations

Like any other tool, there are some limitations to URL Unshortener. For example, you can't directly shorten web addresses that contain a space or a colon. This is because these characters cause malfunctions with various browsers.

Colons are used to separate a URL's individual parts (known as "domains") like ".com" or ".co.uk". When you enter a URL containing a colon, it will automatically be shortened to a version without colons.

If you enter a space instead of a colon, the URL will be shortened to the point where it becomes unrecognizable. Spaces are used to separate words and components of a URL (like words and numbers or nouns and verbs).

If you enter a space instead of a colon, the space will be displayed in the results instead of the colon. This is because when a space is present after a URL, the results will be separated by spaces instead of colons.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the shorter the URL, the less likely it is to be indexed by search engines. To avoid this, make sure that your URL is at least six characters long.

Also, make sure that you don't use any reserved keywords as part of your URL. Doing this can hurt your SEO efforts because it might prevent Google from indexing your URL completely.

If you meet all of these conditions, the results of your SEO analysis will be presented to you in an easy-to-read format.

Conclusion

Overall, URL Unshortener is a free tool that can help you save time and create shorter links that are more conducive to SEO. So if you write about cats and you use the Hostinger free shortening service, when a user searches for "cats," you'll see a box at the top of the browser window with the following text:

"The results displayed on this page are dynamically generated." (Zoho Creator.)

This is so the person visiting the site knows that the content is relevant.
