Are you seriously wondering why people aren't flocking to your new link shortening service? Could you possibly have picked a more crowded niche with less demand from real users and less potential for profit?

If you're going to build something, throw it live, and hope people find it, you're going to need to make sure it's something people will actually be looking for. There are lots of things like that. There are actually only a few that aren't, and unfortunately you've picked the biggest one.
