We can see the real bit.ly links by doing these 2 easy steps:
1. I’ll give you example with CNN’s twitter update links.
as we can see there is a bit.ly link, http://bit.ly/7DPgBT, from the latest CNN update.
2. do right click on the links and choose “copy link”, then paste it in a new tab of your browser, and add /info between bit.ly and the code after /, like the picture below.
and your browser will go into bit.ly page that shows the status about the link, and we can see that the link http://bit.ly/7DPgBT refers to http://edition.cnn.com/2009/BUSINESS/12/16/british.airways.finance.future/index.html, and we can choose to open or not to open it, based on the domain which is the real link located.

Learning SEO
Dec 6th
You need to learn search engine optimization techniques when you are writing articles for your website. If you are hiring a writer to write articles for your website, keep in mind that you should hire a good writer who know about search engine optimization or you can give them list that contains your keywords and let them make articles that contains that keywords, and tell them how many times they should repeat the keyword through the article.
Making optimized article for your website will help your website’s ranks get higher when someone searches a keyword that is related to your subject. That means you will actually get more visitors because your url seen by many people. It is a fact that almost web surfers just see the first 3 pages when they are searching for a keyword. That means when your site is ranked in the fourth page, that means less traffic. (it will be traffic, but only a very small traffic). This is why it is very important to you and your writer to use search engine optimization when you write articles, and make sure your articles can be seen by anyone in the first page of the search engine.
Optimal Article Length
Dec 2nd
When you are making articles for your website, make sure that the length fits the search engine optimization. Articles between 200 words and 500 words should fits this category.
Even if you think your goal is not the search engine optimization, it is a good idea to keep your articles at this length for your reader’s sake, because many readers doesn’t like to finish your article if it is too long. This could make them leave with just half of your information you wanted them to have, and it will make them think that your site is too “wordy”. Most internet users don’t read website pages as they read book, so the shorter the webpage, the better. Maybe you could split your idea to a couple of pages, and make a label so your reader can pick what information do they interested in, so they can enjoy reading on your website.

Nov 25th
Finding the right writer to make your revenue-maker articles can take time, and if you find a writer, he can easily take another client and sometimes can submit the same articles to the two of you, that could reduce your website ranks.
You may want to begin with small group of articles when you start to search. It is important to keep in mind that there are some types of writing, and each writer might skilled in one area, but can’t do the other. For example, there are medical writing, technical writing, fiction writing, sports writing, game writing, etc. One writer may be highly skilled in one area that they will make great articles. So, it is critical that you must choose the writer that can make articles that match the content you need. You can look at freelancing websites that allows you to post the specification of your project, and your budget.
After you give your project and budget, writers will make bids on your project and give you writing samples so you know about their skill level. And make sure you choose the right writer, the one who gices you sample of your website’s topics, with good quality articles.
Afterall, the more you give for your budget, more bids you will get from quality writers who knows how to entertain your website visitors so they can come back to you often. Writers know that you will make money with your websites, so $40 for a 600 words article might seem expensive, but when you think about the revenue you get from your reader when you post the article to your website, you will realize that it is not really expensive for that one article. Just remember, always get a good quality articles to make your website’s traffic increases.
