Anyone every had this happen?

[Nancy]

I have been using Tiny Url for redirects, and this is the first time I have ever run across this;

"The URL you entered was found in our blacklist of commonly spammed sites. We have no tolerance for spam. In order to prevent the abuse of TinyURL being used by spammers, we did not allow the creation of this TinyURL. We appoligize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

You entered the following URL:

www.moreinfo247.com/xxxxxx/HFB"

I have never used this before, I have always used the free site, just thought I would use something different. I used the free site with TinyUrl and had no problem.

Should I question it, or just mark it up to a glitch?

Hi Nancy,

I'm not sure what Michael sent you, however you can create all of the redirects you wish on your own web host without having to use an outside service such as TinyURL. You would just create a new web page with a few lines of redirect code with your link embedded in the code, save it, upload it to your web host, and link to this new redirect page, instead of to TinyURL.

Please see the following threads for more info on creating redirects or redirect pages, also sometimes referred to as link cloaking:
