Iyada oo ay caan ku tahay warbaahinta bulshada iyo isku xirka xiriirka la leh, u rogida URL^(URL) dheer mid gaaban waa lama huraan. Xataa markii Twitter- ku kordhiyey tirada jilayaasha ilaa 280, boosasku waxa uu ahaa mid qiimo leh oo kooban. Markaa awood u yeelashada inaad soo gaabin karto isku xirkaaga waa lama huraan.

Laakiin waxaa jira dhinac ka madow URL^(URLs) -yada gaagaaban sidoo kale taas oo aadan wax fikrad ah ka haysan halka ay u socdaan. Markaad gujiso URL gaaban , waxaad ku aamini kartaa qof indho la'aan ah in uusan kuu soo diri goobta phishing-ka ama fayraska la soo degsado.

Haddii ay tahay New York Times ama BBC , taasi waa OK. Waxaad ku kalsoonaan kartaa noocyada waaweyn. Laakiin haddii ay tahay Mr MysteryMan oo ka socda MysteryTown , markaa yaa garan kara godka bakaylaha ee lagugu dejinayo?

URL yar^(TinyURL)

Haddii aad leedahay xiriiriye TinyURL , si fudud ku beddel " www " oo ku beddelo "horu- eegis^(preview) " ka dib " https:// " sida soo:

https://preview.tinyurl.com/yxnc3gr8

Tani waxay markaa ku geyn doontaa bogga TinyURL halkaasoo lagugu sheegi doono URL dheer .

Xiriiriye ayaa lagu siinayaa si uu kuu geeyo goobta haddii aad u aragto in ay ammaan tahay.

Xoogaa^(Bitly)

Haddii aad isku aragto isku xirka Bitly oo aadan garanayn halka uu u socdo, ka dibna kaliya ku dar “+” dhamaadka URL- ka , sida:

https://bit.ly/2X5XBub+

Kadib waxaa lagu geyn doonaa goobta Bitly halkaas oo ay ku muujin doonto URL dheer .

Dhammaan waxay u muuqdaan kuwo wanaagsan? Ka dib dhagsii isku xirka " Copy " kaas oo ku siinaya URL gaaban oo aan lahayn calaamad "+". Koobbi^(Copy) oo ku dheji biraawsarkaaga oo iska tag.

Isticmaal Adeeg Online ah^{(Use An Online Service)}

Haddii aad doorbidayso, waxaad isticmaali kartaa adeeg online ah si aad ugu socodsiiso dhammaan URL^(URLs) -yada gaaban. Aaggan in kastoo, waxaa jira doorashooyin badan oo loogu talagalay ballaariyeyaasha URL oo ay adkaan karto in la ogaado midka la isticmaalayo.

Waxaan si gaar ah u jeclahay CheckShortURL . Ka dib markaad gasho URL gaaban , waxay soo celin doontaa URL dheer , iyo sidoo kale sawirka thumbnail ee bogga, iyo xiriiriyeyaasha kale ee waxtarka leh sida hubinta badbaadada bogga.

Dhammaadka maalinta, sharciga dahabiga ah waa inuu had iyo jeer ahaadaa "haddii aad shaki ku jirto, ha gujin xiriirkaas". Ma jiro wax u qalma in fayras halis loo galiyo, ama in faahfaahinta akoonkaaga uu jabsado phisher. Laakiin talooyinka sidan oo kale ah waxay caawiyaan inay daaha dib u soo celiyaan wax yar oo ku tusaan meesha isku xirka isku deyayo inuu ku qaado.

How To Find Out Where Those Short URLs Point To

With the popularity of social media and affiliate links, turning a long URL into a short one is essential. Even when Twittеr increased the character coυnt to 280, space was at a premium and brevity mattered. So being able to shorten your links iѕ necessary.

But there is a darker side to short URLs too in that you have no idea where they are going. When you click on a short URL, you are putting blind faith in the person that they are not sending you to a phishing site or a virus download.

If it is the New York Times or the BBC, well that’s OK. You can trust big brands. But if it’s Mr MysteryMan from MysteryTown, then who knows what rabbit hole you are being taken down?

TinyURL

If you have a TinyURL link, simply replace “www” with “preview” after the “https://” like so :

https://preview.tinyurl.com/yxnc3gr8

This will then take you to the TinyURL website where you will be told the long URL.

A link is provided to take you to the site if you deem it safe.

Bitly

If you find yourself with a Bitly link and you don’t know where it goes, then just add a “+” onto the end of the URL, like so :

https://bit.ly/2X5XBub+

Then you will be taken to the Bitly site where it will display the long URL.

All looking good? Then click the “Copy” link which gives you the short URL without the “+” sign. Copy and paste into your browser and off you go.

Use An Online Service

If you prefer, you can use an online service to run all short URLs through. In this area though, there are so many choices for URL expanders that it can be difficult to know which one to use.

I particularly like CheckShortURL. After entering the short URL, it will bring back the long URL, as well as a thumbnail picture of the page, and other useful links such as checking the safety of the page.

At the end of the day, the golden rule should always be “if in doubt, don’t click that link”. Nothing is worth risking a virus for, or having your account details hacked by a phisher. But tips like this help to draw the curtain back just a little bit and show you where the link is trying to take you.
