Stop getting affected by Virus and spam links when you click on unknown links on the internet.
If you’re not familiar with Bitly, what it does is pretty simple.
Let’s say you want to send someone a link to an article, but the link is one of those URLs that are just ridiculously long. What you can do is go to Bit.ly and paste in that super-long link, and it comes back with this: bit.ly/2Zs01p0
The problem with the short link, however, is that if you didn’t create it, you don’t really know where it will take you. All you see is the “bit.ly”, so the actual ultimate address is a mystery until you get there. And you know, of course, that you should never click on a link unless you KNOW ahead of time where it will take you. Clicking on blind links is very dangerous. Don’t do it.
But there is a safe way to click on a Bitly link: all you have to do is add a “+” to the end of it (a “plus” sign).
So if you saw the link above - bit.ly/2MWEvOG - you wouldn’t just click on it and hope for the best. You would highlight it, then copy and paste it into your web browser’s address bar, and add that “+” to the end. So this is the address you would actually be going to:
bit.ly/2Zs01p0+
When you go to that revised address, you’ll be taken to a preview the Bitly website, where it will show you the ACTUAL link that you’ll be forwarded to, so that you can decide if it’s a legitimate website page you want to visit.

How To Safely Check Bitly Links Method 1
Step 1: Find the Bitly link that you wish to check, highlight it and then RIGHT-click on that highlighted URL. In the menu, you will need to select Copy, not Copy link.
Step 2: Once you have copied the URL head over to your favorite browser and paste the link into the address bar at the top, or you can key it in manually if you wish. Now add a + sign at the end of that URL. Hit enter.
Step 3: Now you should see some information about the URL: when it was created, the original website address, and how many clicks it has.
This is one of the ways to check those Bitly URL links you have been bumping into. Now let me show you another way you can check not only Bitly links but other shortened URLs. Yes, you can easily check those other weird shortened web addresses that you are not sure about.
BONUS: Check Bitly Links And Other Shortened URLs
There is a website I found that will check many shortened URL links (including Bitly).
Here is how:
Step 1: For this method, head over to this website called CheckShortURL.com. Once on the website all you need to do is paste or key in the shortened URL link in the box at the top of the page. Then click on the Expand button to the right of the box.
Step 2: The next screen that will appear is where all the information on that URL will be. You will notice in this list the “Search long URL on” section. That will offer Search options on different browsers to get more information about this link. There is even the “Check if Safe On‘ option that gives some websites that check if the address is a safe one. This site gives you more details than the Bitly one does so this is the better way to go when making sure a web address is safe or not.
WARNING: Always remember to be Careful when clicking out any link online or in email. Better to be safe by researching it first than being sorry later. If you still don’t trust the link, then DO NOT click it.
See, you can check URL links like Bitly easily and safely by following these steps. If you know a better way of checking shortened URL links please let me know in the comments below.
