The actual (destination) address gets the PageRank. The shortened URL is treated as if it never existed (except to be followed to determine where the link is supposed to really go.) In other words, any TinyURL link is treated as if the larger link to the original address is really embedded in the page instead.

I still don’t get it –
So does Google rank the TinyURL address, or the actual address (or do both get a separate ranking)?
I was thinking bit.ly.com is a good url shortening. MichePurses has it is not. So can you tell me good examples?
