    I had short domain which was free, so I have decided to make url shortening site. http://www.y37.info

    I would like to hear your honest opinions about it.

    Well in my opinion the page is quite empty, but I can't think what could I add, maybe you could help me :D

    Thanks ;)

    Its the website to shortening the URL link, like when you convert a long url link then you convert it using this service, the url will get short, if you ever using Tinyurl.com i'm sure you'll know what i mean

    To make the site look more appealing you should get a more professional
    logo and add more colors into the color scheme.

    I agree with kingofsanda, your website looks plain even the script is quite good.

    The layout is good but I would make the name of your site larger and more bold.

    Good Luck

    Thanks for your tips, I will make a new design as soon as I will have some time. :)

    By the way, what do you think would be the best way to promote this kind of site? Somehow I don't think that buying banner space would be useful?

    Simple designed website, but the sign up feature might drive traffic away.

    Try advertising it on file sharing forum sites. It is much effective.

    Make its function can stand for long time or maybe forever.

    I often found some site with same service as your, the converted url cannot be used any longer of time. sometime it is broken or become a web forgery

    I'm sorry but I can't agree with you, you can use all site features without registration, so I don't see any problems here. Just if you are registered you get ability to see all your shorten links and delete them if you want :)
