Short URL: Top 5 Websites That Provide Free Short URL Service
What is a "short URL"? Short URL or tiny URL is an URL used to represent a long URL For example, http://tinyurl.com/45lk7x can be used to represent and will be used to redirect to http://www.snippetit.com/2008/10/implement-your-own-short-url.
Why people use short URL? First, because it is easy to remember. Imagine when you read an article on a magazine or newspaper that shows you a site with 100 characters and complicated URL. How can you remember the long URL, put down the magazine or newspaper, sit in front of your computer and type out the URL at web browser correctly? When the URL is short, for example tinyurl.com/45lk7x, you can do it easily.

WordPress: Catch A Spam Comment With Statcounter
Sometime your WordPress' anti spam software (e.g. Akismet) may not able to stop all the comment spam because the comment looks too real to it and to human too. In this case, you will need to identify the comment whether it is actually a real comment or it is automatically submitted by software.
Someone who made a comment must have visited your site. That's it, if he or she has not visited your site but his or her comment is posted on one of your post. Then it is very high possibility that the comment is a spam comment.
How do you ensure someone who left a comment on your blog actually visited your site? The best way to do it is by looking at the IP address where the computer submitted the comment.
