Additional URL Shorteners

Meatspin    Other Trickery, Random Bullshit    

As many of you likely already know, URL shortening services (or in this case URL masking services) are great for tricking your friends into coming to shock sites. Sometimes names like “Meatspin” and “BellyBoner” might be a dead giveaway that it is something which they do not want to click. However people have become accustomed to seeing these shortened URLs around the net which we can use to increase our chances of getting a click. We mentioned a few of these services in our original Mask Shock Site URLs post and will expand on those below. If you have another suggested site to add to the list please hit up the comments.

Stay tuned more new shock sites are on the way!

Mask Shock Site URLs

Meatspin    Other Trickery    

Google just opened its new URL shortening service which proves to be a great asset when shocking friends! As most of you already know, a good way to get unsuspecting people to view Meatspin or other shock sites is to disguise the URL with a link shortening service. For example, we visit Goo.gl and type in Meatspin.com or BellyBoner.com and we are presented with a new URL like http://goo.gl/S3bh. This obviously doesn’t show the end user anything about the site, thus greatly increasing the chances that they will click it.
