    tinyurl.com is a redirection system. My opinion, redirection system cannot works for SEO.

    Well, from my experience, redirect will affect your SERP, not that much but enough to do small harm.

    Also, if tinyurl.com decides to change it system, for any reason, and your tinyurl changes, all your SEO effort will be down the drain.
