Will they type the link you said?

Choosing a short link for a podcast, a radio spot or a talk? Type the name the way you'll say it. You'll see what a listener may get wrong (numbers, hyphens, sound-alike words, letters that blur on a speaker) and the likely mistakes to register as spare links to the same page.

Nothing you type leaves this page. Separate words with spaces; they're run together for the link.

What a listener might get wrong

  • Risky"for" sounds like a number. A listener may type "four", "for", "fore" or the digit 4.

Spare links to register

Point each one at the same page. Each gets its own click count, so after a month you'll see which mistakes listeners really make.

What it looks for

Numbers: “four” can be typed 4, four or for. Sound-alike words such as sale and sail. Hyphens and capitals, which nobody can hear. Doubled letters, often typed once. British and American spellings. Brand spellings like kwik or lite, which can't be guessed. And letters spelled out one by one (anything in capitals, or with no vowel): over a car speaker B, D, P, T and V blur together, and so do M and N, and F and S.

It's a list of likely trouble, not a promise. The real test takes a minute: say the link once to someone who hasn't seen it and ask them to write it down. The domain has the same problems, ours included: “b59” is a letter that sounds like D and P followed by a number, so we say “b as in bravo, five nine, dot link”.

On b59.link short names are case-sensitive. The home page picks the name for you; to choose a name like the ones above, use the API or the tools for AI assistants. The reasoning behind every check is in a link people hear, not see.
