Everyday new small and medium-size websites devoted to url shortening are launching. The main source of making money is to put a banner on the iframe; but this is against the TOS of most ad serving companies like AdSense. What is the best way to have a money making banner (ad) ?
 
Not sure if there's really a way to monetize them, unless you were to make it a free basic service with premium accounts that have more advanced features... like I'm doing with mine... let me know if you find something else that works :)

Do you really sell premium accounts in this highly competitive market. I mean there are lots of websites offering the same service. Why someone should pay for service from a new website?
 
Do you honestly believe you can go up against any of the current URL shortening giants? I know when i need a URL shortened i use tinyurl and nothing else.
 
URL shortening is not that profitable, you gotta beat industry heavy-weight first, you can offer some $$$ in return For using URL services at start!
 
If some of you people, like OP considers that $30 per month are money..than you are so wrong. Move to CPA. But if you really like this domain, well, you're late anyway in the industry
 
there is no late in the IM.. Just find a creative idea to gain customers.
