You can attempt 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 exact same link however include “+” to the end of it so it reads like this.
bit.ly/ 2ZZnuP2+ you will go to the Bitly page where I reduced my original URL.

Bitly is a hassle-free tool for producing brief URLs to share in place of long URLs. Ive utilized it for many years to produce tailored URLs that are easy for my students to type. Sadly, some people utilize Bitly to attempt to mask URLs to try to get you to click nefarious links. Luckily, there is a simple method to see where a Bitly link will take you without having to in fact click the link..
The technique is to just add a “+” to the end of any Bitly URL. When you add the “+” the URL will reroute to Bitly rather of to whatever the initial URL was. That will then reveal you the Bitly page on which the shortened URL is hosted and will reveal you what the original link was..

Ive developed a couple of short 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.
