Geo + device + analytics
More than just shortening a URL
SilverLinks adds intelligence on top of the redirect — rules, analytics, expiry, and branding that a basic DNS redirect or free Bitly account can't match.
Branded Short Links
Create short links on go.thesilverfern.ca or your own custom domain. Custom slugs let you make links like go.yourbrand.com/summer-sale instead of random characters.
Geo Redirects
Send Canadian visitors to your French-language page, US visitors to a USD pricing page, and UK visitors somewhere else — all from the same link.
Device Redirects
One link, multiple destinations. Send iOS users to the App Store, Android users to Google Play, and desktop users to your website — automatically.
Click Analytics
See exactly who clicked: country, device type, operating system, referrer source, and clicks per day. Know which campaigns are driving traffic.
Link Expiry & Click Limits
Set a link to expire after a date or after a maximum number of clicks. Perfect for time-limited promotions or single-use discount links.
Password Protection
Lock a link behind a password. Share a private document, internal resource, or exclusive offer only with people who have the password.
Who uses SilverLinks
Any business that shares links publicly can get more value out of them.
Marketing campaigns
Track which email, ad, or social post drives the most clicks with UTM-ready short links and per-link analytics.
App download links
One link in your bio or ad that sends iOS users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play automatically.
Bilingual businesses
Send Quebec visitors to your French site and English Canada visitors to your English site — from the same link.
Time-limited offers
Create a promo link that expires on a date or after 500 clicks. No manual cleanup required.
Internal resources
Password-protect links to internal documents, onboarding guides, or private resources shared with clients.
Branded short links
go.yourdomain.com/promo instead of bit.ly/3xK9mQ — looks professional in emails, print, and ads.
Common questions
What is go.thesilverfern.ca?
go.thesilverfern.ca is our shared short domain. All free and Starter links use it by default — e.g. go.thesilverfern.ca/your-slug. Starter and Pro plans can add a custom domain like go.yourbrand.com.
How do geo redirects work?
When someone clicks your link, SilverLinks detects their country from their IP address (via Cloudflare headers) and redirects them to the URL you set for that country. Other visitors go to the default URL.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Starter plan includes 1 custom domain, Pro includes 5. You add a CNAME record in your DNS provider pointing to our servers, and SilverLinks handles the rest.
What happens when a link expires?
Expired links redirect to a neutral page rather than breaking. You can also set a custom expiry redirect URL if you want to send visitors somewhere specific after the offer ends.
Is this different from a URL redirect in my DNS?
Yes — DNS redirects are static. SilverLinks adds analytics, geo/device rules, expiry, password protection, and branded domains on top of the basic redirect. You also get a dashboard to manage all your links in one place.
What makes it different from Bitly?
Bitly charges $35 USD/mo (~$48 CAD) for features like custom domains and analytics. SilverLinks Starter is $7 CAD/mo with the same core features plus geo redirects and device rules that Bitly charges extra for.
