Hi Dan,Bitly is a great URL shortener, but probably is not the best to customise your links.here are some of the limitations you may find in the free version:1) Changing the destination URL2) Connect more than one custom domain3) Keep your data for more than 30 days4) Make your links private5) Easily and automatically add UTM parametersRead more here: https://support.rebrandly.com/hc/en-us/articles/227131707-Alternatives-to-BitlyFull disclosure: I'm the founder of Rebrandly (https://www.rebrandly.com)

Thanks i appreciate the offer
I don't have a custom domain yet i'm having problems finding a suitable option, only seems to be versions with sub-folders such as .ca/sh for example, rather than ca.sh

Thanks Ash !
I do have bit.ly integrated with Buffer and im trying to set it up so rather than use a buff.ly or a bit.ly i have a much more branded shorter domain
I have read that page and tried those sites but cant find anything suitable but suppose i just need to keep trying, some keep suggesting optiuons with forward slash/folders which seems weird and not what we are after

Does Google really using unlinked brand and related mentions as a ranking factor?
Hi Moz community, Seems like Bing already confirmed that they are using link-less mentions for the ranking graph and some SEO experts believe if Google also employing the same in their Algo....Can anybody please confirm and share your thoughts on this? Thanks

Switch to naked domain that has higher page authority
Brilliant Moz community! I just started here and find it so helpful and am confident that I can get an answer to this. Our domain is currently https://www.example.com. I have been wanting to move to https://example.com just for a cleaner URL. To my surprise, https://example.com has the same DA but a significantly higher page authority than our current https://www.example.com. Of course my immediate reaction is to 301 to the https://example.com but I wanted to get some advice and anything we should consider before doing this. My other question would be - how is this possible? I don't remember that we ever used that domain but we also had some rather bad developers a couple of years back. Thank you so much in advance!

Which domain would you choose?
This is more of a survey than anything. If your name was Jeremy Parker, and you were to start a personal blog/site. Assuming jeremyparker.com was not available, which domain would you go with? 1. jeremyparker.net 2. jeremy-parker.com 3. jerpark.com 4. Other. From an SEO standpoint it would be unlikely to make a difference. But from a branding standpoint. Which one would you perceive to be best? Thanks.

Trying to decide on best domain
I am trying to decide on a domain for a real estate site in Utah where the area code is 801. My choices are utahhomes801.com, the search term "utah homes" get 3600 exact matches, utahrealestate801.com with "utah real estate" getting 22,200 exact matches or forget the 801 and go for a shorter domain Utahnow.net or utahhomeboy.com. Is there any reason to stay away from 801 in the domain? Any thought or direction would be appreciated. Scott

.us domain extension for US locales
I have a large US travel site and am looking to make targeted pages for specific locations, attractions etc around the United States. With many of the TLD's already purchased for these niches, I thought about using the .us extension as it seemed relevant to the topics. Does this hurt seo possibilities or does the .us extension come across as spammy?
