If you’re looking for a tinyurl to point you to a website, it can be difficult to determine where the link is coming from. There are a few ways to find out where a tinyurl is linking to: -Check the address bar of your browser when you open the website. If the address bar includes a tinyurl, it’s likely that the website is linked from that tinyurl. -Check social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter for small snippets of information about websites that have been linked from tinyurls. -Check Google search results for TinyURLs that have been used in search engine results pages (SERPs).

There’s a feature on the TinyURL.com site that will show you a preview of the final destination URL, and there’s not even a login required… it just sets a cookie on your browser.

Once on the site, just click the link for “Click here to enable previews”

And now when you click on a TinyUrl link like this one…

You’ll be taken to a page on tinyurl.com that will show you the final destination link.

If you’d like to ensure that the person you are sending links to will see the preview screen even if they haven’t enabled this setting, you can add preview. before the domain name. This also works if you want to go to a TinyUrl link on a machine that doesn’t already have the cookies enabled.

I found this very useful, so hopefully it’ll also help somebody else.
