Create a Multi-Anchored Link with URL Split
5:00AM Adam Pash | Web utility URL Split creates single URLs that direct users to up to seven different web sites. For example, clicking this link five times will direct you to five of my recent Hack Attack Features in the order I linked them (one, two, three, four, and five).
