I know we're normally using short links for following feature


Short
Analysis


But for the short point it makes me thinking about a question:

Should we use abbreviations in a short link?

For example I got a project call Andrew's code lab and got a abbreviation ACL, then when we're getting a short link should we get short.link/acl or short.link/andrewscodelab?

For the full term you'll get more info about the link while you might not understand what the abbreviation means, but for the long term doesn't it mean it loses the short feature cause it's still long?

I agree with closetnoc, if the abbreviation is well-known, it's alright.

But if not, it will be hard to rank well with the keywords you want it to get ranked under since it has no semantic value.
