Shortners?

[denvercardonations]

Are URL shortners bad for SEO? They are hard to get around using, I would prefer the original URL, but I find someone places auto-create the shortener... :crazy:

I never use url Shortner for cloaking my urls. But i think it will really effect your site SEO score by using it too much on your site. if you want to cloak your affiliate URL's and using WordPress than you can use cloaking plugins available in WordPress plugin directory.

A 301 redirect... that's essentially what a URL shortener does. No, it won't hurt you.
