With all of this social marketing and how it is taking off, you might have asked yourself if URL shorteners like bit.ly and tiny.url help with SEO efforts.   Afterall, part of social marketing is building backlinks to your website.  These URL shorteners do a 301 redirect which tells the search engines that the link has permanently moved locations.

Watch this video with Google’s Matt Cutts to get some more information about these urls and how they effect your SEO.

I just hope these companies are around to keep my links active 5 years from now.
