What is ShrimpURL?
ShrimpURL.com is a free website that lets you take a long URL and make it a lot smaller. When you shrimpify a long URL, you will get a much shorter and easier to remember ShrimpURL. You can then use your ShrimpURL in websites, emails, and anywhere else. Your ShrimpURL will never expire. It will work forever!
How It Works
ShrimpURL.com takes your long URLs and converts them into a smaller and more useable version. For example, if you had the following long URL:
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/linktomap.adp?mapdata=gWAG46U3irEZg4bnzby%252bT93Emvy
UJlo2ZAxzEXwTZg0MaA4OdJkhcdekreGgaPBFvxwIlLni95rIv%252b9AWENn94NBPEBrzgjrs%252bum4

It would be converted into:
http://shrimpurl.com/5
Shorter Links to All Pages in Your Site
You can use ShrimpURL to create smaller URLs for all pages in your website. For example, if the homepage of your website is available at:
http://www.some-internet-service-provider.com/~some-username
You could create a ShrimpURL of:
http://shrimpurl.com/8
If you wanted to link to your page at:
http://www.some-internet-service-provider.com/~some-username/some-webpage.html
Using your ShrimpURL from above, you could use:
http://shrimpurl.com/8/some-webpage.html
This new link would send your visitors directly to your some-webpage.html without having such a long link.
Hide your affiliate or referral URLs
Do you have an affiliate link or referral URL that you want to hide? Your ShrimpURL will be smaller and easier to remember. Plus, people won't know that it is really an affiliate or referral link because they will only see the ShrimpURL.com address. ShrimpURL can help you get more clicks and earn more money.
