Bit.Do URL Shortener

Bit.do is a URL shortening solution that allows you to convert your long URL (page address) into a shorter one, easier to remember. URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that you type in the browser’s search or address bar to visit a page, like www.facebook.com. When the user types the shorter version, it will redirect him to the original site, the one with the longer URL. This process is called URL redirect.

Features/Functions

1. Real-time Statistics
The Bit.do allows you to access information regarding the short URL like the number of individual clicks, date, user IP address, referral sites, number of distinct users, and more. You can also check the number of visitors via each referral site or specific referral page.
2. Customized URL
Beyond shortening the text length of the URL, the Bit.do also offers the creation of customized URLs with texts or phrases you prefer. This feature will help to improve SEO and also attract customers.
3. Permanent URL
The URLs are not for lease. They are entirely your company’s IP (intellectual property). Thus, you can use this permanent URL for marketing and other processes.
4. Non-confusing character URL
People tend to confuse characters with numbers like alphabet O and zero, lower case alphabet L and 1, etc. To avoid these confusions, Bit.do does not choose these characters while creating the short URL.
5. Easy Management
You can use the links admin page to view all the short URLs and the destinations to which the users get redirected. You can change the link destination or delete a link for easy management. Moreover, this Bit do URL shortener dashboard allows stats with graphical interpretation.
6. Multiple Domain Extension
You can create short links in multiple domain extensions like .in, .do, .us, .to, and more.

Benefit

It is a strategic business advantage to have a short URL, as it is easier for the customers to remember or share with others. The customers are more likely to share a link with their friends or on social media. A long URL with incoherent phrases would look unprofessional. Moreover, the chances of customers committing an error while typing an URL are high in the case of a long URL. 

If the customer could not find your site, he would immediately move to any similar business, AKA, your competitor. Apart from business development and customer retention, here are the other benefits of using the Bit do URL shortener.
