Great affiliate link shortener

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bitly is a great tool to shorten affiliate links for use on social media. It’s one of the best link shorteners for eBay because it shows up as eBay.to and not as a Bitly. It stores all links and allows even free users to see the link status, which is a fantastic analytical tool.

Pros

  • Shortens links
  • Provides clicks by country
  • Allows link customization

Cons

  • It sometimes gets blocked by Facebook

Likelihood to Recommend

It’s amazing for shortening affiliate links. I can’t think of any scenario where Bitly wouldn’t work. The only issue is when a few weeks ago all bitly links got flagged by Facebook as viruses.
