I made a URL Shortener

    I know there are literally thousands but I was intrigued and began working on mine. http://neap.us. It doesn't have a design because I'm busy working on the backend but after I get done, it will have stats tracking, user accounts, custom urls and much more. It's currently coded in PHP but I may possibly end up recoding it in Ruby. Please try your worst at breaking it and tell me what happened. I do need some beta testers.

    Also, soon we will pay you to shorten URLs as we get advertisers and we now allow custom urls.

    Now we've got custom URLS working, also have an API but no one has contacted me who could be interested in using the API. http://neap.us still doing backend work so design will have to wait.


    EDIT: Our stats page is located @ http://neap.us/stats

    Does this gives value when it comes to Search Engines?
    I'm wondering using 301 redirect for effective results.

    Yes! It does! 301 is effective.

    Also, it isn't as plain anymore. http://neap.us gave it a facelift.

    It's always good practice creating your own version of something that already exists. Good job!
