Yes - I could.
But that would mean distributing 100+ files around the system.
I am incredibly lazy and it would be massively prone to error.
Also, the redirects are intended as simple ways to let users access content.
For example - my content are is in Wordpress, I make extensive use of categories to organize things.
I have one called 77 Guerrilla Job Hunting tips.
The URL is:
77 Guerrilla Job Hunting Tips | Zale Tabakman
but I tell the world to go to
77 Guerrilla Job Hunting Tips | Zale Tabakman for
77 Guerrilla Job Hunting Tips | Zale Tabakman
I also have affiliate programs that I link out to. Why should the poor reader need to see complicated URL's when they can see simple things like:
Guerrilla Job Search for
Guerrilla Job Search
I think its more effective than using TinyUrl or any of its competitors.
And since they are really redirects - I don't actually need or want the file directories.
