What are your methods for shortening long affiliate URLs in e-mail and on message boards?

I always encourage my clients to Brand Themselves First, whenever they are online. Therefore, when they need to shorten a URL, I teach them how to do that using their own web sites.

There are lots of ways to do that. There are some more techy ways, such as using different PHP scripts, or .htaccess file. You can also use redirects in your HTML files to redirect a shorter URL to a longer one.

I want to emphasize that you should try to use your own domain for redirecting if you can. This will give you yet another time to brand yourself and your domain.

For example, here is one of my redirect links:
