URL Shortening for Sharepoint 2010


URL shortening is a technique reportedly done to support the SEO activities of a website. With this, the URLs of all the pages of the website are made shorter creatively and up to a maximum extent and still direct to the required page.
In order to make a long Sharepoint URL short, firstly copy the URL to the clipboard, got to a URL shortener, past the long link over there and copy the short URL you get in return back to the clipboard. It works good, but there are quite some non-regular steps in Sharepoint to go through.
Thus, in the Documents Tab, of every Document Library, a new item is added to the Share and Track group.  The result however looks as below:


Thus, this trick will definitely support the Sharepoint  and the ASP.NET developers to shorten the URLs of the pages and thus help the related SEO activities of the websites. Naturally, the more short and SEO related the URLs are, the more the incoming traffic is going to be.
Happy ASP.NET Programming!
