Anve.to is a free to use URL shortener which is part of Anveto. Users who sign up now will have free access to the Anveto beta.
Let’s begin, the first thing you will need to do is sign up, you can either type in your username, email and password or simply login with your Twitter or Facebook account.
I wen’t ahead and logged in with my Facebook account, next you will be presented with a form where you can input your long URL in order to shorten it.
Simply click shorten and it will automatically present your with the shortened URL as well as different ways of sharing your new URL. Feel free, post it anywhere!
I went ahead and shared it on Twitter and within a few seconds I had received 15 clicks. By clicking on the amount of clicks in your account, or simply adding a “+” sign to the end of your shortened URL you will be able to see statistics over how many people have clicked the link and where they are coming from. Combine this with running Anveto on your website and you will be able to do a detailed analysis on how effective your online marketing and social media engagement is.
