  • Project Title: NotifyURL
  • Attachment: none
  • Completed: 09/25/2008
  • Category: Web Development > Web Applications
  • URL: http://NotifyUrl.com
  • Description: NotifyURL is a project of my own that i built in about 10 hours.

    It is a URL redirecting service that send out an email to notify you that your link has been visited. It also keeps a log of the traffic from that link. So you could put a link in, say, a forum and get to monitor how successful that link was. The redirects implement a 301 HTTP status so they are friendly to search engine ranking.
