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

Bitly is a hassle-free tool for producing short URLs to share in location of long URLs. Some people utilize Bitly to attempt to mask URLs to try to get you to click on nefarious links.
The technique is to just include a “+” to the end of any Bitly URL. When you include the “+” the URL will redirect to Bitly instead of to whatever the initial URL was. That will then reveal you the Bitly page on which the shortened URL is hosted and will show you what the initial link was..

Ive developed a couple 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.
