Hello Community,
For my new service I'm making a way for users to make the're tracking links short.
The URL is http://hitcounter.co but I can't think of any short versions of it because all the ones I've chosen have been taken such as http://hilnk.co, http://hlnk.co and http://hit.co.

So I was wondering if you could help me think of a short URL.

So I was wondering if you could help me think of a short URL.

I am bit curious why a short tracking link? I think that looks fine.

I just thing http://hitcounter.co/USERS_LINK_CODE_HERE as an example a normal code would be http://hitcounter.co/774823 I just think that would be a little long, for me I couldn't care because it's not like they old way which used to be like a 20 digit link code then a 20 digit user token. But I'm just thinking people would consider it still to long.

But I'm just thinking people would consider it still to long.

how about username-token, the username will be fetch from the id from the database and the token would be shorten to 6, you can short the number by using php. then it will look SEO friendly. I assume that was your goal?

Well I'm not using the token system anymore, this is the way the address are going to look: http://hitcounter.co/USERS_LINK_CODE_HERE like would you say something like this http://hitcounter.co/774823 would be considered long like it's not a short as long as they used to be. I really wanted the domain http://hit.co but of course it was taken. I was hoping to find a domain that would be really short.
