Make Your Long URL’s Much Shorter

I know many of you will agree with me when I say that I hate to see those everlastingly long URL’s in emails that seem to just take up all the space in it. Most times they break up at points in the message and when you click on them you get nowhere. Neither do I like to see my affiliate ID just glaring back at me when I use an affiliate link from a program of my choice. This is because it is a well known fact that persons lose commissions that way - thieves simply remove your affiliate ID and put their own. A simple way of resolving both issues is to use a free short URL service that allows you to easily make any long URL shorter.

IQURL.com provides that service and it can be accessed at anytime of day or night. Once you have created your short URL, you can rest assured that it will never expire. You can even create your own customized identifier if you do not want the site to use the auto-generated identifier, i.e. you can choose what you want to have at the end of your short URL. For example, if you are promoting a travel service and your long URL is something like http://someaffiliatesite.com/index.php?ufhy9f9hfy8f9fyc7f3y07yf73yfmyv7ynv7vyn7yfyve7vyn789yv789ey, you could use the word “travel” at the end of your short URL. That means it would end up looking like this: http://www.iqurl.com/travel/. So I would advise those of you who are tired of seeing long affiliate links and need to have them or any other long URL shortened to visit IQURL.com right now and get them shortened.
