There are numerous URL Shortener in the market, and each have its own benefits and weakness. Bit.ly, the current market leader and default URL Shortener for Twitter, started providing click statistics on the short URLs. This gave it a huge boost and also changed the market dynamics.

Tinyurl was leading the market before bit.ly took the charm from it. It started URL shortening. The best part of Tinyurl was its unique short URL for any long URL. Bit.ly also did the same.

There were times when people struggled to make these uniqueness in the short URLs. It was a powerful and efficient system design, but it has its own weakness.

When I shorten a URL already shortened by someone else, I get the same old short URL. The click statistics is again for that short URL which is used by many people. I can get the popularity of the link, but what I miss is my contribution to it. A new URL shortener NXY.IN addresses this issue.

Create short URLs and Measure its success

With NXY.IN, you can create short URLs which is different from other people’s short URL even for same long link. Any click recorded for that particular short URL goes to your credit.

The above picture shows the performance of my links. I am happy to know that any of my link tweets get near about 100 clicks for every Tweet.

Compate with the Market Best

Close to your links, there comes a table showing the most clicked links. It looks exactly same as your own link performance table. It makes life easy to compare with the market best and compete with it.

Earn Money From Your Short URLs; Earn Money from Tweeting

NXY.IN’s one of the best feature is the opportunity to earn money from its use. While you use it, you need to login through Twitter and set-up Ad settings for your account. Your short link when clicked, it opens in NXY Frame that has your ad. You have option to set-up an Google Adsense Ad or put an image to promote your product or service.

Here is how it looks.

NXY.In engine is set-up in such a way that user Ad is shown 90% of the time, and rest 10% goes to the NXY owner, InRev systems. This 10% ads is the only monetizing way from this product so far.

Ending Notes

When computer was discovered, it was a central big system where many users used it. Apple, IBM and Microsoft worked really hard to take the PC to the homes and make it personal. After 20 years of the movement, Google and Amazon are trying to take back Processing and Storage again back to the central depository known as CLOUDS. Cloud Computing has its own benefit and is very cost effective.

URL Shortening too seems to have reached the stage when we make the links personal again. You build it, you share and you review the performance. Enjoy the NXY!
