How to Post Farmville Links on Facebook


Not long ago, people playing Farmville as well as other Zynga games were posting links on their walls right and left.  However, following Facebook’s most recent format change, whenever anyone tried to post a link, Facebook started giving an error, which informed the user that their link was too long.  This limit on the link size has, for the most part, killed the practice of posting game links.  Though most people are not aware of this, it is quite easy to shorten Farmville links in order to post them on Facebook.   
One excellent site for shortening links is, “bit.ly”  http://bit.ly/  Aside from shortening links, bit ly allows you to customize link names, track the number of clicks on a link, track the time the link was clicked, and track country the clicks came from.  In addition to these features, you can add the bit ly sidebar to your bookmark menu for fast and easy access.
Additionally, Bit ly is easy to use.  You can use bit ly with or without registering.  If you choose not to register, you will not have all of the tracking features available, but it is still quite easy.  Just go to the site, paste the link in, and click “shorten.” Copy the link and post your shortened link on your wall.  However, if you chose to register, it literally takes two seconds.  Even if you are not interested in the stats, it is worth registering since adding the bit ly sidebar to your browser menu, makes for easy link shortening access.  Plus with the side bar, you will not need to waste time logging in.  So go to bit ly, start shortening and start sharing your posts however and wherever you like.
