You can try this with my Bitly link of.
bit.ly/ 2ZZnuP2 which will take you to the registration page for my Practical Ed Tech Newsletter (.
https://practicaledtech.com/weekly-newsletter/). If you attempt the very same link but add “+” to the end of it so it checks out like this.
bit.ly/ 2ZZnuP2+ you will go to the Bitly page where I reduced my initial URL.

Bitly is a practical tool for producing short URLs to share in location of long URLs. Ive utilized it for several years to develop customized URLs that are simple for my students to type. Unfortunately, some people utilize Bitly to try to mask URLs to try to get you to click on nefarious links. There is a simple way to see where a Bitly link will take you without having to really click on the link..
The trick is to merely include a “+” to the end of any Bitly URL. When you include the “+” the URL will redirect to Bitly rather of to whatever the original URL was. That will then reveal you the Bitly page on which the reduced URL is hosted and will show you what the original link was..

Ive created a couple of brief video demonstrations of how this trick works. This is the Instagram video that I made about it. This is the YouTube video that I made about it.
