I have used a couple of link shortening services not only for the obvious reason of shortening my links, but also as a way to sort and store my links in one place as opposed to using a spreadsheet.  But here's something that I hadn't thought of before:

As someone who knows relatively little about SEO and the internal workings of an actual link, It never occurred to me that there could be a downside to link shortening.  I came across an interesting article that has really got me thinking whether or not I should continue with this practice. Read the article for yourself and let me know. As I said, I don't have any real knowledge of my own on this subject, so I rely on the expertise of others. Anyone reading this who has knowledge in this area, please throw your opinions my way; I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
