I just heard of it the other day and I thought that this would be a good thing to use - if I knew how to use it.

So I use Bitly it makes the big long url like referral link to shorter one like this: https://bit.ly/BizDustry
The point of using a url shortener is just to make the link look cleaner. As a referral link is mostly really long or just not nice. I would recommend using one if your a big youtuber or a blogger. One bad thing about it is you cant earn money of it.

A URL shortener like the name implies is used to reduce lengthy URL addresses and shrink them to smaller sized or worded links that when clicked on will redirect you to the original site you intended visiting. That way, you don't have to memorize or type long addresses when visiting them
