Are you saying that you have a shorting URL service already and you are shaving off a % of the traffic? Are you making crazy money?
ur wrong.

Good idea. i think i should try this on a co.cc domain first. can anyone recommend me a url shortening script.
Well, when you load a tinyurl (Example) url, it has to connect to a database (I'm guessing it's using MYSQL anyway), then find out what page it needs to redirect it self to, it wouldn't be hard, or use a lot of resources to log a IP, when they add a new URL, something that most URL shortners probably do anything, then just to check if the IPS match and if a "if" statement / whatever which would redirect them, there are too many URL shortners, although if tinyurl are doing this, they are making a fuck-load of money from it, great idea though.I really doubt the shortening services do this. It would be *very* easy to find out.
You'd just check your link 1000's of times and see if it directs to your own affiliate link.
They *could* have IP tracking in there too to check to see if it's the same IP trying the link over and over but that would require huge resources.
*someone* would discover what they're doing, and the moment that happened the site would go under and another would rise up.
when you think about it, why would anyone create a URL shortening service in the first place. Always use your own redirects people...
harro is the big daddy in here, don't use his name to get your thread some attention. He has been earning well for a long time now and nothing can make you richer than harro in a day or two
