    No shorten URL will not affect your SEO. It is mostly used in twitter to decrease the character no. otherwise it is not for any other purpose

    If the shortening service provide 301 redirection it will not affect seo.. if it is 302 redirection it will have less value

    Not Affect in the sense? I can say that it is of no use in SEO. shortened URLs are redirected from different server so it will not be counted as an IBL. While using the exact link will provide you with an IBL (no-follow). Twitter feeds are found in G search Results!

    No, Shorten URL doesn't affect on seo. Mostly it uses in microblogging sites( like twitter, tumblr etc..) for shorten the characters no.

    It likely does not help your SEO either.

    Often people use URL-shorterners to mask an affiliate link, as well as on Twitter or IM'ers.

    I would only use it for the above two reasons. If you want the link for SEO purposes, then I suggest that you NOT shorten it.

    In some sites there is limit that we can use just 35-40 characters, so this is the reason to shorten the url because sometines the url becomes lengthy.
    bit.ly
    goo.gl

    Don't use shorten Url if you are building backlinks.
