The Metamark urls expire after five years or two years after the last usage - whichever comes later. However, if a link is never used, it will expire after two years. This should mean that as long as a link is on a public page, some search engine will visit it and keep it alive.
Of course, this is subject to change and is no promise but just my intentions as of this writing. If you want guarantees you can make your own service.
So far we've been going for almost 5 years though (and not actually expired any links yet; other than ones used by idiots in spam).

Inappropriate?Was actually wondering if after you've shortened a url and received a short url, if you've deleted the destination of the shortened url, if it's possible to replace the previous one with a new one.
Shorter less complicated version:
Old url is deleted, you create a new one and wish to use the same shortened url. Possible?

Inappropriate?Hi Juice Box,
Not possible currently, sorry!
Part of the service "guarantee" is that the short URLs don't change; obviously that limits a lot of possible features. I'm planning some new things that'll let us have the cake and eat it, too.

Inappropriate?The turn of events should prove to be interesting. A lot of potential still to be had.
Is the cake not a lie? (rhetorical)
Thank you for the reply. It was very helpful.
