What is ReRoute?

ReRoute is an application that can serve multiple purposes.

1. Convert long URLs from Google Maps, blog entries, or other such sites into shorter, less visually-offensive URLs.
2. Mask affiliate URLs when a user on your site mouses over a hyperlink.
3. What other purposes have you discovered? Let me know!

ReRoute is able to be installed on your own hosting plan with your own domain. This means you don't have to send people through other sites like tinyurl.com. With ReRoute, the URL is of your own domain.

Example:

• No one wants to be sent a URL that looks like this:
• http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1+infinite+ln,+cupertino,+ca&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.352165,68.027344&ie=UTF8&ll=37.330549,-122.029653&spn=0.016345,0.033216&z=15&iwloc=addr&layer=c&cbll=37.33171,-122.030774&panoid=LqQ5SENrd2EgqmqoC9bboQ&cbp=12,89.88619449493461,,0,-6.401493696997581
• So use ReRoute to create a URL that looks like this:
• http://www.pwlk.net/rr/?r=apple
