Welcome to URLByUs

Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then you've come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.

An example

Turn this URL:

http://photography.shop.ebay.com/Digital-Cameras-/31388/i.html?_catref=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282

into this tinyURL:

http://urlby.us/DigitalCameras/

Which one would you rather cut and paste into your browser? That's the power of TinyURL!

Hide your affiliate URL

Are you posting something that you don't want people to know what the URL is because it might give away that it's an affiliate link? Then you can enter a URL into URLByUS, and your affiliate link will be hidden from the visitor, only the URLBy.Us address and the ending address will be visible to your visitors.

Customize your short URL

Are getting irritated with all those random number & alphabets in your shortened URL. You can customize your URL with keywords that will give instant recall. As also will increase your search rankings in search engines.

Protect your short URL

Are you sending some sensitive information to other person which you don't want others to share. You can password protect your shortened URL with a password. Now only those who have the password can access these pages. Can also be used for various paid services.

Get short URL from your browser's toolbar

Click and drag the following link to your links toolbar.

TinyURL!

Once this is on your toolbar, you'll be able to Shorten URL at the click of a button. By clicking on the toolbar button, a Short Url will be created for the page you are currently at.

This is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your bookmarks or favorites allow javascript. The links toolbar may not be visible in all setups and in most browsers, you can enable it in the View->Toolbars menu of your web browser. You can also put it in your bookmarks instead of the links toolbar.

Can't drag and drop? For some users, such as some recent IE 6 installations, the clicking and dragging of links that contain javascript is no longer supported. To add this to your IE links toolbar, click the link with your right mouse button and select "Add to Favorites..." from the menu. Click OK if a security warning alert pops-up (this shows up since the link contains javscript). If a list of folders is not shown, click the "Create in >>>" button (see image at right). Now select the folder called "Links" and then click OK. You should now see the TinyURL on your links toolbar, if not, see the last paragraph above.

Redirection to any page in your site!

With URLByUs, you can also make a smaller URL that will work for any page on your site.
Suppose that you have a website with the homepage that is at:

http://www.my-health-store.com/yourname

Entering that URL into TinyURL will create a URL like

http://urlby.us/10

With this you can then redirect someone to anywhere within your site by appending a slash and the pages filename to it. So if you have a page at http://www.my-health-store.com/yourname/abs.html, you can use the URL http://urlby.us/10/abs.html and going to this URL will forward the visitor to the page in your website.
