A URL Shortener is a simple tool that takes a long URL and turns it into whatever URL you would like it to be.
Just to clarify that a Link shortener is the same as a URL Shortener… is the same as a Link Shrinker…is the same as Link Masking… and lots of other variations!! They are all different ways of saying the same thing, which is that we want to take something long and ugly, then make it short and cute. Simple!
Let’s face it URL Links are getting longer and longer, especially with all those fun UTM parameters added to the end. Even without UTM, some links are just too long, plus they don’t offer any other marketing opportunities you get from shortening a link.
Here’s an example below where I’ve taken a long URL and shortened it so I can use it on Twitter where the max character limit is 140 characters

All we need to do is drop that long URL into the link option in Zubbit and press Save and we are done!
Once you’ve saved that, Zubbit now gives you a nice new link like this: https://zubb.it/FiXwfB
by shortening, branding, and optimizing your links,
turning each one into a branded asset
