Cuttly for Bloggers How Modern Bloggers Use Link Management

Blogging goes far beyond publishing long-form articles. Bloggers today distribute content across multiple platforms, newsletters, social media, communities, podcasts, video channels and offline events. Links serve as essential connectors between blog posts and wider digital ecosystems. Cuttly helps bloggers manage, track, brand and optimise these links in a structured and measurable way.

Why Bloggers Need Link Management

Bloggers share links across dozens of touchpoints:

• social media posts,
• email newsletters,
• guest posts,
• podcasts,
• forums and communities,
• print materials,
• QR Codes for offline distribution,
• affiliate or sponsor content.

Without structured link management, performance tracking becomes fragmented and content distribution loses consistency.

Using Cuttly to Share Blog Posts

Short links help bloggers present clean URLs in social captions, newsletters and podcasts. They also make it easier to reuse content across multiple platforms.

• shorten long blog URLs,
• create branded slugs for readability,
• assign tags for category-based analytics,
• track which platforms drive the most traffic.

Link-in-Bio Pages for Bloggers

Link-in-bio pages serve as a central hub for blog posts, resources, toolkits and social links. Bloggers use them to showcase:

• latest articles,
• featured guides,
• courses or e-books,
• affiliate recommendations,
• newsletter signup links,
• social profiles and contact pages.

Cuttly supports Link-in-bio pages on cutt.bio, cutt.ly and custom domains. Learn more in the Link-in-Bio Tool.

Analytics for Blog Promotion

Analytics help bloggers understand how readers discover their content. Cuttly analytics include:

• total & unique clicks,
• hour-by-hour activity,
• device and OS data,
• browsers,
• top countries and cities,
• traffic sources (social, direct, referral),
• bot filtering and quality signals.

See the full guide in the Analytics Overview.

Branded Domains for Professional Blogging

Bloggers who manage professional or commercial blogs often use branded domains for short links. Custom domains help maintain branding consistency, even when sharing short links across multiple channels.

• they look clean and trustworthy,
• they reinforce the blog’s identity,
• they simplify offline sharing,
• they can be used for Link-in-bio pages.

QR Codes for Offline Blog Promotion

Bloggers increasingly use offline methods to promote their content:

• printed guides,
• workshop handouts,
• event cards,
• posters for meetups,
• book signings or educational sessions.

Every short link created in Cuttly includes a QR Code automatically — perfect for offline scanning.

Organising Blog Links with Campaign Tags

Tags (Campaigns) help bloggers organise links by:

• content categories,
• monthly themes,
• series or seasons,
• referral sources,
• newsletters vs. social posts,
