LinkFeed - A Free Short URL Service

LinkFeed is a free service to create short links to popular items.

If you have ever sent a link to a product page via Email or post it on a forum you are aware of the problem that really long URLs links can cause by being broken. LinkFeed allows you to create short URLs on the fly. Other short URL services require you to go to their site to create the URL. With LinkFeed, you can create the URL anywhere, at any time. You might not have to ever visit this site again once you know how easy it is to create your short LinkFeed URLs to popular sites such as Amazon.com, Amazon.CA, Buy.com, BN.com (Barns&Noble), BooksAMillion.com (Bamm.com), eBay.com, eBay.com.AU, eBay.CA, eBay.co.UK, OfficeDepot.com, OfficeMax.com, Staples.com, and ToysRUs.com, Woodcraft.com and WoodcraftAuctions.com.

Below is a list of the supported sites as well as information on how to create your LinkFeed URLs. If you have any questions, please visit our FAQ page.

The LinkFeed URL has required and optional parameters. The [sitecode] is a site specific code for the chosen destination, such as am for Amazon.com. The [item] parameter is the specific information that you want to link to, for example, the ASIN/ISBN for a book at Amazon (as seen in the sample below.)

Amazon.com

For Amazon.com products, you will need the ASIN or ISBN code. The ASIN/ISBN codes are part of the URL and are also listed in the Product Details area of the item page.
