Bitly is a hassle-free tool for creating short URLs to share in location of long URLs. Ive utilized it for years to create tailored URLs that are simple for my trainees to type. Regrettably, some individuals utilize Bitly to try to mask URLs to try to get you to click on dubious links. Fortunately, there is a simple way to see where a Bitly link will take you without having to actually click the link..
The trick is to merely add a “+” to the end of any Bitly URL. When you include the “+” the URL will redirect to Bitly rather of to whatever the initial URL was. That will then show you the Bitly page on which the reduced URL is hosted and will reveal you what the initial link was..
