Speedlink V15/2011, URL Shorteners, Blogging, SEO, Social Web

by DiTesco on April 30, 2011

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great and productive week. Unfortunately can’t say that my week was that productive as my internet connection was not cooperating very well, due to an upgrade in services I requested. In addition, my favorite Twitter App (Hootsuite) is not working properly, this after upgrading my browser to version 3.6.17 of FireFox. Apparently, Hootsuite has an issue with this FF version and all I know is that they are working on a fix for it (hopefully soon). If you are experiencing the same problem, now you know

As usual, in no particular order:

SEO

Blogging/Social Web

Online Business/Marketing

WordPress Junkies Pop Of The Week

Do URL shorteners pass anchor text?

That’s it! Enjoy and have a great week ahead.

I’m surprised URL shorteners are still as alive as they are. So many people hate using them for the obvious fact of not seeing what’s behind it first.

2 DiTesco Twitter: ditesco May 1, 2011 at 2:10 am: So true Dennis, and this is why my favorite Twitter app is Hootsuite. Hootsuite allows me to see the original source of the link first, thus knowing at the very least where it is taking me. Obviously I only do this from people I don’t know very well I guess Matt can not undervalue too much shorteners because Google has their own, so it is somewhat surprising actually.

Google not only not caring about hidden links, but producing them themselves…irony?
