ever heard of tinyurl ? its a free service that turns long urls into short urls
I made my own version with a spin.. it turns long urls into short urls and makes you money
http://www.urlbucks.com/beta.php
How does it make you money ?
By displaying an overlay ad over the resulting url with your ref code.
you simply pick your sponsor from the list enter your ref code and a website url you want displayed and a short url is created
example url with fling ad
http://www.filecabi.net.mic948.urlbucks.com/
example url with AWE ad
http://www.google.com.icnqtp.urlbucks.com/
its still in beta so any suggestions would be cool
p.s. you can enter most types of media not just webpages. ( i.e. images / videos / etc )
