Facts

Shortening a URL for a Tweet or blog post? Tons of ways to do it. Who cares what "product" you use? They are all the same. They were, until now...

SHORT STUFF:

9mp.com is a very short shortener, which saves you a few characters in your sometimes character-constrained world. Go ahead and try it - you can pop any URL into our form - click here.

Place "9mp.com/" infront of any URL in your address bar and we will automatically shorten it for you.

AUTHORITY RANK:

Each URL you create with 9mp.com improves your authority rank. Authority rank is given to each author as they use our service. A ranking system of 0-5 is used to attribute value to an author with 5 being the highest possible ranking. So, the more popular your links are, the higher your authority rank will be, and that rank will be reflected in a unique subdomain: someone with an authority rank of 5 is assigned 5.9mp.com/xxx for their URL's.

Note: If you have achieved an author rank of 1 or higher your links will automatically be distributed through our search and auto tagging system. The five most popular links each day are shown on the home page. Users who have a high authority rank will also have their shrunken URLs distributed throughout our micro-site network. A high authority rank will drive substantial amounts of traffic to your social media profile.

VANITY URL:

Want to add special pizzazz or make a call-out to someone with a keyword, name or other "vanity" marker? Then use our vanity URL shortener to create personalized links, such as 9mp.com/picofmypoodle.
