I am usually suspicious when it comes to free stuff promising all-in-one solution.
But I got intrigued and finally installed this plugin on my blog. I’ve even asked
several friends to visit it for a ‘user test’ and it turns out that Sur.ly is quite
effective. I’ve not tried to integrate it with Google Analytics, so I can say nothing
about this feature yet. Is there any guide for it?

I didn’t know how to create a subdomain at first, but the support team is rather
responsive so they sorted the things out for me (Thanks, guys!) and now everything
works fine: all suspicious links are being filtered and replaced with internal links.
I’m impressed by the user-protecting feature and the toolbar’s customizable look.
It’s easy-to-use, simple and it works!

### 󠀁[Good job!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-job-687/)󠁿

I got too tired of numerous link spammers on my WP blog just when I found this plugin.
It did the job amazingly fast. Sur.ly seems to neutralize spam links all at once,
users stay on the site longer, and I love the user-protecting feature, it’s nice
to know the visitors are safe after all.

It seems, the visitor sessions really became a bit longer after installing this 
thing on my site, and that inspires me the most. However, I don’t really know if
users return to my posts via the toolbar, as you guys promised (how can I track 
that?). Anyway, I am pretty sure that my outgoing links are now healthier than before,
at least, the recent link audition suggested me so. Thanks Sur.ly!
