Default Short URLs are easy to remember

If your site urls is too long, is good for you to try to make it tiny using url forwarding services.

Some good services are:
tinyurl.com -> tinyurl.com/####
neaturl.com -> cool.as/you and many other domains to choose.
shorturl.com -> you.shorturl.com
freedomain.co.nr -> you.co.nr
dot.tk -> you.tk (with ads)
ov2.net -> ov2.net/you

So they could be helpful!

I added 2 sites more for URL forwarding.
I have many others in Japanese language, but I don't know if you want to use them, I use go2.jp, it's great service that includes free email forwarding too.

I think their service is great too, but since a couple of months, use their service is a little annoying for such ads and pop-ups automatically opened when you access to a .tk site.
I like this service for email addresses basically.

I had been using .tk urls but now they have ads that you cannot opt not to show. Before it used to be a popup which you can turn off. Now I think they have an iframe. tinyurl.com is very useful. I am sticking to that.

I remember everyone used to use .tk, I thought it was pretty good, great ext for free even if it did include the ads.

Now that its an iframe that's even better!

Don't all the short URL providers have ads?

.tk was one of the few that had an option to turn the ads off. I remember they took that feature off thus causing me to stop using their services. I am not sure if they added that feature back.
