Description

Introduction:

Saw Url does exactly what the name suggests... it saws the url you put in to it and churns out a smaller url.

Lets say i have a url like: http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auctions/40649
When i put that link in to SawUrl, i get http://www.sawurl.com/6

Why do people need /  use it?

  • To disguise links. Take for example the famous rick roll video. If you want to rick roll somebody with a url like http://www.yougotrickrolled.com/ - most people will cop on and not click on the link. But put that url in to SawUrl and they won't have a clue what http://www.sawurl.com/7 links to ;-)
  • To shorten links - long urls are quite simply difficult to remember and link to. With SawUrl the links are shortened and if you sign up, you can even save your links and track how many clicks they've had.
  • Hide affiliate links - affiliate links are quite often hidden from users. So you know the way you see a site and click on a link to some sort of online store? 99% of the time that's an affiliate link and people are making money off your back ;-) The likes of SawUrl help hide affiliate links, so potential buyers aren't put off.

What you get?

  • Custom designed logo/icon (full layered graphics file included).
  • Custom designed template - very simple, very web 2.0 and easy to navigate.
  • Beautiful AJAX driven script (costs $30 itself).
  • Excellent domain name - SawUrl is a short, relevant and easy to remember name. It is perhaps the biggest selling point of the site (free push at name.com).
  • Free installation on your server.
  • Comes with full admin panel for easy management.

Other notes

The domain expires 2009-07-14. The site hasn't been monetized and assume little/no traffic.

Both members and non members can use the service, however members (once logged in) automatically have their links saved.

    yeah, you can remove the footer link, however it costs an additional $10 (note: that's the price of removing it according to the owners - not me trying to get more money!) ;-)

    thanks for you bid!
