Ask HN: How bit.ly make money?

6 pointsby againstyouover 14 years ago
I'm curious how bit.ly (url shorteners services in general) make money. They don't use Ads, they don't even register users.

I'm not sure about bit.ly specifically, but there is the hope that the data about what is trending could be valuable if sold. They know, for instance, what urls people are sharing, and they know how many people are clicking on them.
