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 very same link however 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 initial URL.

Bitly is a practical tool for developing brief URLs to share in place of long URLs. Some individuals utilize Bitly to try to mask URLs to try to get you to click on dubious links.
The technique is to simply add a “+” to the end of any Bitly URL. When you include 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 reduced URL is hosted and will reveal you what the initial link was..

Ive produced a number of short video presentations of how this technique works. This is the Instagram video that I made about it. This is the YouTube video that I made about it.
