Benefits of using our URL Shortening Service

Every URL that gets generated using our service is put in our latest requests list, which are indexed by Google every couple of days. That means you get a link to your website which will help with your link popularity.

Are you a developer and looking to integrate this service into your application?

We have made it very easy to integrate into our service with a simple API which we will extend on later.

Use the following format:

http://purl.co.za/generate.php?url=http://www.yoururl.co.za/

 or

http://purl.co.za/generate.php?url=http://www.yoururl.co.za/&tag=yourtag

 By adding the tag parameters you can customize the url that we generate for you, otherwise you'll just get a random url.

You receive one line of text back with your new url to use in whichever way you see fit.

Easy ain't it?
