TinyURL helps?

Is TinyURL.Com search engine friendly?
TinyURL displays a PR8, will it also help a site's PR?
hope someone could help me on this

 

Helps in what sense? TinyURL is a link shortening & redirecting service... It has no SEO value and cant imagine how you where thinking of using it? Changing your internal navigation to show Tinyurl links?

 

No... TinyURL redirects are no good for SEO.

 

Tinyurl is having PR8 !
But normally it creates a redirection for ur site.
Just adding ur site to some database and that id is given to u !

 

I really can't see the point of using the tiny url. Someone posted a tiny url link in my forum the other day and I don't for the life in my know why, surely it is just better to parser the link!

 

it doesn't help... try to find other related sites that has good content and high traffics...

 

TinyURL creates a redirection from their domain, tinyurl.com

You're hoping that having a link situated on tinyurl have some google value, so when it redirects to your page it'd get some google ranking as well.

However, this isn't the case. I don't even know if it is 301 redirect...But if it is, you could get some ranking only if people link to the redirect.

 

tinyurls will no help you seo because it's not giving link to you. it's only making a redirect to your site

 

No, it won't help the PR of your site at all

 

maybe you can use(mask) tinyurl for your affiliate link

 

Just because the site is a PR8, it isn't just going to help to increase your pagerank

 

OK, if it won't help the pagerank - well established - HOW WILL OR WILL IT INCREASE TRAFFIC???

 

It will if people link to the tinurl redirect (if it's a 301)

 

Tiny URL was created to make it easier for people to bookmark sites - it was never intended for SEO.

 

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but the way you say it makes it seem like tools are always made specifically for SEO...DP Co-Op was never made for SEO, but what do most people use it for now?

 

I think you have the wrong idea of why its used. It's good for linking in forums and such, instead of:

www.kjhfdkjhfdlkjdfh.com/kjsfdhfsgh...ds/lkjdfsahfdljkh/lkfdshklshdldsa/lidsfhlfkj/

its' tinurl.com/kjhdfkh

And its also used here in this forum to link to something you DON'T want indexed... such as your website for sale link.

I know what your thinking with PR of tinyurl but it doesn't work like that, redirects don't pass PR, and even if it did they would have no-follow rules applied to them I'm sure.
