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 try the same link but include “+” to the end of it so it checks out like this.
bit.ly/ 2ZZnuP2+ you will go to the Bitly page where I shortened my original URL.

Bitly is a convenient tool for producing brief URLs to share in place of long URLs. Some people utilize Bitly to attempt to mask URLs to try to get you to click on wicked links.
The trick is to merely include a “+” to the end of any Bitly URL. When you add the “+” the URL will reroute to Bitly rather of to whatever the original URL was. That will then show you the Bitly page on which the shortened URL is hosted and will reveal you what the original link was..

Ive produced a number of brief video presentations 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.
