Hire.

What do you mean?

I think he means you could hire personnel

Yes, get someone you know to help you and share, if there is, profit.

Right now profit margin is VERY FAR from be enough to hire employees.

My closest goal is to raise enough fund to purchase physical server and I am trying to save as much Bitcoins as I can.

You need to open the gates a little more on your profits...

E.g a service tax for servers on all incoming funds. I know it would annoy users but ultimately it keeps the service stable.

Realistically you should be able to make an easy 100USD a month and just put the site onto a cloud VPS? Saves a lot of hassle.

Charging fees from incoming payments (i.e. deposits made by advertisers) is very bad idea. Advertisers, not publishers create income stream for the CoinURL and if they feel any inconvenience, it could have negative impact on the revenue.
Currently I am trying to get enough income by forcing publishers, who withdraw funds, to donate some share to the service.

Right now CoinURL is located on the virtual server with dynamic resources (total 16 CPU cores and 12 GB RAM) for about $20/month. If there is little load on the hosting's server from other customers, CoinURL shows excellent performance. But in some days (absolutely randomly, occurs about 1 time per few weeks) overall load on the server becomes extremely high and hosting's administrator imposes temporarily limits for me (he told that other hosting's customers complain for the poor performance and they have no other choice that limit resources for me, because CoinURL is the most resource-consuming site they host). In this case you see this annoying "max_user_connections" error.

I tried to measure performance on the dedicated XEN VPS with single core 2.4 GHz and 1 GB RAM. Result: very far from enough!

If I would start accepting non-Bitcoin users, I expect growth for tens of times in short time, server resource consumption most likely will rise so dramatically that $10-20k mainframe will be required.

I have received a suggestion and implemented search capability for the shortened links.

You have the same problem I had on CoinAd with the 'remember me' thing.

www.coinurl.com != coinurl.com

The browser detects www. as a different website, so cookies created in coinurl.com are not available at www.coinurl.com.
You need to redirect users from www.coinurl.com to coinurl.com or vice-versa (you can either do that on your server settings or with php header).

I think the same thing happens with $_SESSIONS.

Enabled auto redirect to non-www domain. Please report if you see some errors.

For 1k impressions most probably you will have value very close to the average, i.e. about 0.027 BTC.

1. On the first image you hide status of the impression. Impressions made by automatic tools (bots) are being rejected and you have not to pay for them.
2. If you don't want to receive traffic from some publishers which you are considering to be junk, block them in the Targeting options.

Also, try banner ads.

Payment notification service we use seems to have some issues now.
If you made a deposit and funds were not credited, write me an e-mail to process the deposit manually.

[giantdragon]

Issue with the payment notification service have been solved!
