Typically a company like bit.ly works hard to build users and people dedicated to their service and then finds opportunities to sell add-ons or supplemental services such as: http://www.bitlyenterprise.com/pricing.html in which they make money from companies and enterprise clients using their data, or using bit.ly services to run their own URL shortener. I wouldn't necessarily say getting into the URL shortening business would be wise right now. But, if you have a unique angle maybe. Here is a decent post on writing a URL shortener. http://blog.saush.com/2009/04/13/clone-tinyurl-in-40-lines-of-ruby-code/ |
