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 exact 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 shortened my initial URL.

Bitly is a convenient tool for developing short URLs to share in location of long URLs. Ive used it for years to create personalized URLs that are simple for my trainees to type. Some individuals utilize Bitly to try to mask URLs to try to get you to click on dubious links. Luckily, there is a simple method to see where a Bitly link will take you without needing to really click the link..
The trick is to merely add 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 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.
