    It can be profitable but it’s also a hard niche to get a large market share in since tinyurl.com is the established leader in the field. Good luck though.

    In my opinion it's too saturated, you would be better off buying an already established website doing the same thing.

    Saturated? I see...
    Actually, I am looking for any niche that can be profitable. Seen that too many people has link directories and thought it has been saturated already. The same thing with image hosting too..
    Not quite sure what else could be done.

    ANy suggestion?
