 * I have been looking for a plugin that apparently doesn’t exist to help organize&
   keep track of outside website url’s. Since I have been unable to find this, I
   have a question on how to go about it a different way….
 * On my website (www.crazyforsavings.com) I post a lot of deals and coupons that
   I find on specific company websites. I have noticed on other sites similar to
   mine they have a link such as [http://www.websitename.com/coupon1](http://www.websitename.com/coupon1)
   and it will direct them to a completely different website such as coupons.com
   or target.com. How are they making such a short url with [http://www.websitename/coupons1](http://www.websitename/coupons1)
   and how is it directing the reader to the longer url coupons.com website?
 * Does this make sense? :-/

 * Most likely a plugin or a site like, [http://shorturl.com/](http://shorturl.com/)
