Introducing my own URL shortener
Hello there, on the event of 15th August (Independence Day of India), I introduced my first SaaS model based URL shortening service named as Dhruv Foundation.
Why I named it Dhruv Foundation?
I named this service as Dhruv Foundation because this domain actually belonged to a Non-Government organization in which I was a member, and a web designer, the NGO was started by my uncle but he had to shut it down due to some trust reasons about the members appointed as trustees.
Then, as the NGO was shut down I also had to delete all the information related to the NGO from the domain, but a few days ago, on 10th August 2018, when I was going to sleep, an idea suddenly came to my mind, to continue the mission of the Dhruv Foundation, without an office.
Then, I thought very deeply and researched about ideas by which I can continue this mission. Then the idea of URL shortening service came to my mind, as you've observed that free services don't give good results and paid ones are too much priced to be bought by a client, so I thought about an affordable pricing and decided to Donate minimum 50% of the revenue for social-welfare.

Powerful Tools we offer
Yes, you heard that right, we give you powerful tools to track everything. Read below to know more
1. Quick Shortener
This tool allows you to quickly shorten any URL in any page without using any fancy method. This is perhaps the quickest and the easiest method available for you to shorten URLs across all platforms. This method will generate a unique short URL for you that you will be able to access anytime from your dashboard.
2. Full Page Script
Our full page script is a script that helps website owners, developers, or businesses to track from where the traffic to their website is coming from, without the need of adding Google Analytics, or any other analytics tracking codes.
3. Developer API
This is one of the most powerful and necessary tools that a web developer requires to deploy and/or develop various applications from a service. We welcome web developers to develop or deploy applications or services with the help of our URL shortener.
Unlike other URL Shortening services, we do not limit you on API requests.
Note: Developer Docs and API Keys are available in the Tools section of the dashboard.
Apart from this, we offer some more features, to our premium customers.
1. Splash Pages: If you have multiple products or services to offer, and have a discount to offer to your customers on any product or service, you can place a full page interstitial before your customer or visitor lands to your website homepage or any other target page.
2. Overlay Pages: With the help of this tool, you can place a banner with an update about upcoming products, or services. or you can also send festive wishes to your customers based on their geo-location.
3. Tracking Pixels: If you have advertisement campaigns running on Google, Facebook, or LinkedIn, for your business, you can enter the tracking pixel ID available in your Google Ads, Facebook Ads Manager or LinkedIn Ads Account dashboard, and we will help you keep a track of how your campaigns are performing.
For all the above-mentioned premium features, if you have designed your website on WordPress, Website Baker or any other CMS, you need to add separate plugins for all of them, and each plugin costs about $59 per year, and here we offer this to you in one package for just $14.99 per year.
If you want your customers to see everything about your own brand everytime they visit your website, I would recommend you to upgrade to our Premium service, and that costs, $14.99 per year,
If you compare our pricing with other URL shorteners available on the internet, it is much less than all of them, and I priced it low so that every business owner can get to know about its customers without paying hefty amounts.
