Google will completely shut down its URL shortener, which means that links shortened using this service will no longer work from August 25, 2025. Users should therefore change their links in good time. Google announced the end of the service in 2018 and stopped accepting new URLs. Six years later, the service is now being shut down for good. From August 23 of this year, when you access such URLs, an intermediate page will be displayed indicating that the link will soon no longer work. This change affects all links in the format .
Google plans to continuously increase the number of links that redirect to the intermediate page until the final shutdown date. After that, these links will result in a 404 error. The intermediate page could disrupt existing links and, if 302 redirects are used, break the redirect flow, which could also affect the correct display of social media metadata on the target page. However, there is a way to bypass the intermediate page by appending the URL parameter "si=1" to the links. Users have about a year to change all affected links and switch to alternative URL shortening services.
Backlinks for a better Google ranking
Google recommends that important pages be linked from other rcs data vietnam important pages. Links are one of the key factors for Google in determining rankings. These links can come from both within the same website and from external websites. The value of a link is largely determined by the importance of the page it originates from. Links from pages that are not crawlable or indexable, on the other hand, have little or no use. When building backlinks, it is important to ensure that the linking pages themselves are relevant and important. Even strong domains are of little use if the linking page cannot be crawled or indexed.
Up to 20 audio tracks per reel
Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows creators to add up to 20 audio tracks to a reel. This was confirmed by Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri on Threads. The new functionality allows the audio tracks to be adapted to text, stickers and specific sections of the reel. In addition, an individual audio mix is created that can be saved and reused by other users. In addition, Instagram is currently testing the "Super Like" for stories, which allows users to mark a story with a Super Like once within 24 hours. However, it is still unclear when this feature will be fully rolled out.
