I usually use Goo.gl over other URL shortners because of its Analytics that it provides also.
I swear I've been able to use it for all sorts of things in the past.
But is it just me or just recently have you found that it's blocking some affiliate links from being shortened?
I'm trying to shorten a JVZoo affiliate URL this one
It does half create it (shows the shortened url and more details link)
But on trying the shortened url it gives error saying this
I can only assume, someone has been spamming jvzoo / goo.gl shortened links and Google has blocked them from being used.
Just goes to show how spamming benefits nobody and how the minority can ruin things for the majority.
Guess I'll have to use bit.ly or use one of my own domains and redirect.
That's the good thing about .xyz's so cheap for this sort of thing.
But still, anyone else notice this or know a way around it?
Cheers.
