I’ve promised it already in some of my last posts and now it is time to disclose our secret. Me and my friend Midwest from MyPPCAdvertising have worked on our first web project for the last weeks, hence the lack of updates But now it is time to open it to the public!

If you look at the title of this post you may already guess what this project is all about. And yes you’re right, it’s an URL shortening service named Shrtnd.com! We both are proud to release this service to all of our readers (and the rest of the world) free of charge.

The last days we had many things to do. Starting with an idea from Midwest, we gathered some good scripts, built a website and custom design, included some kind of content, worked on some monetization strategies, bought a domain and hosting package and finally checked the whole site for potential errors. You see, a lot of work was involved, but now we are ready to finally launch shrtnd.com.

So what can you expect from our URL shortener? Well, a simple and easy interface to make any long URL short. You are able to enter any URL you like, add some custom tags if you will and finally let our service “shortify” that URL. It takes only a second or two, and your URL will be a shortened one. You can then use it wherever you like, within your own website or blog, in your next email or SMS message. I could tell you more about shortening an URL, but to save some time, feel free to have a look at our info page about the advantages from URL shortening.

Some last info. You may ask what an URL shortening site has to do with making money online? It’s simple, we both hope to make some money from it. Therefore we have integrated some advertising banners at the bottom of the page which contain affiliate links that’ll get us commissions. All we need to make (some) money from this site is traffic, the more the better

We will do our best to promote the site with different free and paid advertising services and we’ll keep you informed about our progress and the potential earnings.

For now, please visit shrtnd.com to test it by yourself. If you like the service, feel free to set a link to it and spread the word. We appreciate any help from you, our fellow readers! If you like to write a review on your own blog, do it! Me and Midwest have started a nice contest!
