Vir.AL – Mass URL Shortener

April 14, 2010 in Social Media by Olgi Zenullari

To tell the truth I haven’t seen any other sites which offer the same service as Vir.AL, which basically is a mass url shortener. There have been various talks on different forum’s and I quite like it (and no its not because it’s mine :P)

The Story Behind Vir.AL

At the beginning me and my partner had other plans for the sweet and *viral* domain name but due to time lack I decided to launch vir.al as it is today, a mass url shortener. The idea came while I was creating manually short urls for one of my affiliate campaigns and since the domain was empty, I thought of creating it (thanks to my designer Gëzim & programmer Joni)

Vir.AL Features

There are no features at all, you just add your long and ugly URL and it automatically shortens it to 4-5 different url shortening service sites such as:

  • Bit.ly
  • Cli.gs
  • Is.gd
  • Migre.me (Spanish audience)
  • Goo.gl (at the moment they are out of service)

The Purpose of Vir.AL

Well, let’s suppose you want to track how many clicks you have got from various traffic mediums and you want to use:

  1. From Your Website – Cli.gs
  2. From Your Mailing List – Is.gd
  3. From Twitter – Bit.ly

So in this case you can keep track of what is performing better, personally I’ve found it quite helpful and I’m thinking of some major updates coming soon (maybe in May or June)
