A couple of years back, there weren’t too many URL shorteners around. There was tinyURL and a few others. Situation today is different – there are hundreds of these services around, all focused on making long URLs shorter and easily readable. But have you heard about a URL ‘lengthener’? ShadyURL is one such service that does it. ShadyURL sure as hell wouldn’t shorten your URL. Instead, it’ll disguise your link as something malicious no one in their right mind would click. You heard correct, their tagline is “Don't just shorten your URL, make it suspicious and frightening”. If you need to see what generated URLs look like, few links we created are posted below:

FYI none of the above links contain any malware or some other crap. All ShadyURLs will redirect to the stated original site :p. If you want to actually make your URLs relatively shorter and look a little less menacing, ShadyURL has an option for that too. Just tick the ‘Shorten’ checkbox before generating the link.
