Google launch goo.gl – a url shortener

By Liam Lally 16th December 2009 Blog & 1 more

Google have recently announced they have launched a url shortening service called goo.gl.

At the moment this will only be available using the Google toolbar or feedburner (that is you cannot visit the goo.gl website and shorten your URL there, in the same way you can with bit.ly).

However we think it will only be a matter of time before Google launch this fully, which will be a shame for the existing URL shortening providers currently out there.

We have known Liam since 2009 and his knowledge and guidance with respect to Internet Marketing and the use of Google is second to none. In addition, the depth of research and detail that he employs to give the best results and advice are usually not reflected in the costs associated with this expanding business area.

Mike Warden - Flexicomms

I have known Liam for around 8 years and have had many conversations about SEO, Google Ad-words and social media. I attended a course on Google Adwords that Liam was running and found that Liam's knowledge of Google Adwords is fantastic and the way he communicated it ensured I left with my head buzzing, full of ideas. I would recommend any of Liam's courses if you are looking for inspiration on anything Google!

I asked Liam to do some search engine optimisation on my website and following his recommendations, my ranking improved considerably to the point where I appeared on the first page of Google. I also invited Liam to be invloved in the design and planning of my new website and the research he has done into search phrases has had a considerable impact on the way the site was constructed and I am pleased to say it is performing well. Liam has a great depth of knowledge and will always research key words and phrases to see if they are worth optimising and his honesty and integrity in this respect are outstanding. Liam is also very personable and I felt he really tried to understand my business before making any suggestions. In short, I would have no hesitation in recommending Liam Lally and Zaddle Internet Marketing to any friends or colleagues.
