Shrink your Links with
Link2shrink

Because Sometimes Less is More
Image

Link2shrink has one job and that's to shrink your links - hence the name.

Whether you're using URL's from external websites or internal Linktivity Forms or Event pages, the addresses are often too long to easily remember or use on Social Media sites like FaceBook or LinkedIn. Link2shrink solves this problem by creating much shorter redirection links that can be used anywhere. Link2shrink is similar to other URL shortening services, except that it is designed to save you time & money by working seamlessly with Linkivity addresses and external webpages.

The UI for Link2shrink features the following:

  • like Link2forms, you click to add a new redirection (see right)
  • you enter the destination URL
  • Select a TLD, and then add a custom extension and check if it's available by clicking Create
  • if you don't enter anything, it will auto-generate an alphanumeric extension
  • when you save, it'll add this link to a list similar to Link2forms, with searching features (see below)
  • The service will include basic click-through statistics and source locators (number of clicks and which site the link came from)

Shorten URL's and track Click-thru's

Works with external links

Whether it's an address from your website, a blog, or a product page in your shopping cart, URL's can be long, ugly, and hard to remember. And when it comes to social media services like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, sometimes they're prohibited. Link2shrink solves that problem by automatically converting long links to short ones, regardless of the source.

Shortens Linktivity URL's in a single click

Some of our Linktivity services like Link2forms, Link2events, and Link2calendar can generate long alpha-numeric URL's that are so unfriendly to look at they cannot be displayed without a hyperlink. Now Link2shrink can quickly generate a short URL right from within each of these services that is short enough to use anywhere. You can also create human-friendly custom links.

Easy to remember URL's

URL's that are easy to remember are easier to use for your customers. And the more you use our Link2 domains, the less they have to remember.

Track your click-thrus

Link2shrink provides click-thru statistics to help you understand how well your URL is working,  and a detailed breakdown of which sites you placed it on are working best for you. These reports include which sites they clicked through on, as well as what devices they used (eg., Windows, Mac OS, Android, IOS).

No software to install

Link2shrink is an online service, meaning there is no software to install.

Same time & money

Similar services can cost 50% more for the same features, but require you to leave Linktivity. With Link2shrink you can create custom URL's from the same place you create the destination URL. Save time and money.

Run Link2shrink from anywhere

Link2shrink is an online service, meaning you can run it from anywhere - including tablets and Mac's.
