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 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 initial URL.

Bitly is a convenient tool for developing short URLs to share in place of long URLs. Some people utilize Bitly to attempt to mask URLs to attempt to get you to click on dubious links.
The technique 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 initial link was..

Ive created 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.
