So what exactly is zURL?

zURL is a URL shortener. It lets you convert your long links into nice, manageable short links.

An Example

Turn this URL:
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-RVLSWCUSZ-Wii/dp/B0009VXBAQ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2807968-1014504?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1175580663&sr=8-1

into this nice, tiny URL:
http://zurl.ws/1

Free Membership

While the basic zURL shortening service can be used without creating an account, registering has a number of advantages, including custom URLs and hit statistics

Custom URLs

Custom URLs allow you to specify the short URL to use, rather than using a generic one. For example, you may turn this URL: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-RVLSWCUSZ-Wii/dp/B0009VXBAQ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2807968-1014504?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1175580663&sr=8-1

into this nice, tiny, descriptive URL:
http://c.zurl.ws/wii

There are two types of custom URLs: normal custom URLs, and user URLs. Custom URLs:

Hit Statistics

Registered users also get advanced statistics on who is visiting their URLs. This includes referrers (what site they come from), and countries.
