Hey there,

What is the most popular URL shorteners? I have a blog and often leave URLs to another sites.

My friend told me that I can get much money with URL shorteners.

You may want to ask your friend "how?"

Bit.ly is the most popular shortener. I'm guessing your friend means that you can use the shortener to shorten / mask affiliate links, but I may be wrong.

I've with Donna. Not sure what you mean but masking affiliate links just means visitors don't know you are a reseller.

Then of course there's the goo.gl URL Shortener Whether it is more visible to Google is anyone's guess but perhaps ... :)

You can put them in http://longurl.org/ if you are suspicious.

I tend to open in Chrome Incognito. No idea if that really makes it much safer, but my understanding is that nothing can be saved to your PC when using it. Is that true?

I meant url shortener service. Currently I'm choosing between bit.ly and adf.ly.
