The link itself doesn't make it spam - but I'm always suspicious of "shortened" URLs.
There are a couple of places which will expand them for you:
KnowURL: Expand Original URL From Shortened URL[^] gives you the basics.
But GetLinkInfo :: Expand tinyurl/bit.ly URLs, get YouTube video info, get webpage title/description, find URL redirections[^] gives you a lot more (and useful) stuff.

Both of them let you get to the target without going via any "shortening service" and whatever it may contain.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
