Urgent Question On Website Url

Is it possible to change the destination of a bit.ly link?

Great question!Let me introduce myself, I’ve been on the Product team at Bitly for ~2.5 years and have discussed this exact question with our team on numerous occasions.First, Ryan is correct, one of the main reasons we’ve chosen to not build a system that redirects links on the http://bit.ly domain is to avoid abuse. Bitly has built a sophisticated system to prevent and reduce the impact of spammers using our Bitlinks (Bitly links) to send malicious or phishing content. However providing the functionality for spammers to build trust in specific URLs then easily redirect them to malicious content is a challenge we don’t currently want to tackle.Another reason we haven’t provided this functionality is our sheer scale. Bitly actively maintains redirects for the hundreds of millions on Bitlinks created every month, adding up to tens of billions of URLs. Providing the ability to dynamically redirect the destination URL for these links would be very complex and a large scale project that would put other priorities on hold.We do offer the ability for our Bitly Enterprise customers to redirect Bitlinks created with their configured domains. We often see our customers create Custom Bitlinks (Bitlinks with words instead of random characters after the ‘/’) and place them in prominent areas on social networks (think Instagram profiles) then redirect them based on the current context of the channel. This allows our customers to not only track engagement for each destination but easily measure the performance of the rapidly changing content.I hope this answer helps!

How can I narrow down my Quora question to find the best person who will have the best answer to my question?

Finding the best person is harder than narrowing down a question, since the former problem comes with way more options to choose from than the latter. So really, this is a two-problem question.You can find the best person for your question by reading more people on Quora. The algorithms may recommend someone for you, but in my experience (both on Quora and in life in general), it’s best to determine for yourself whose word to trust. It’s not so much that some professionals are more qualified than others, than it is that some professionals are less overtly biased than others, especially in areas within which they are not specialists yet act precisely as such.You can narrow down your question by picking a specific inquiry. If you have a complicated situation you need help with, then by all means describe it in full, but if you instead have a bunch of small gaps in your knowledge revolving around the same topic, do some research first on the topic and use whatever you manage to learn on your own to figure out how to summarize your confusion.Of course, there’s also the third problem of getting said person to actually answer your question. My followers, for instance, are probably well aware by now of how it can take me weeks or even months to get to a given A2A (the simple explanation for which is that I’m not comfortable writing garbage and am therefore not comfortable forcing myself to regularly churn out answers regardless of subsequent quality or personal interest). Other writers may have a similar situation. But there’s not much you can do about this as the person asking, except possibly messaging them to let them know that it’s an urgent question.
