Topic: Ju.nu - Shorten URL and make money!

http://ju.nu  Short URL
I'm the Developer of this website, it gives users the options to use their
own ads, speedyclick, adsense, or even just a banner & link

examples:
this is a user using their own ad:
http://ju.nu/74

here is a user, that doesn't use their own ad:
http://ju.nu/proxy

Anyways we also have our own API string to allow users to use Ju.Nu
from their website, or programs. easy to create a PHP script around it
to allow users to shrink urls on your website!

The file manager is built in Ajax / PHP / CSS3 And it only works for FireFox
Trying to currently figure that issue out. But other than that
it works great, no signups needed. but a plus if you want to edit your site
or ad down the line.  check it out everyone let me know what you all think.

Advertising that is obtrusive to the user experience does not work... so on Google for example, I will get more angry that I cannot immediately click the ling at the very top without having to click close... which in my experience may fire another pop-up.

The colour scheme btw is very washy, bright and pale green with white test, makes my eyes explode.

I am envious of your short URL, but that being the most interesting thing about your site, I'd say you have some work to do.

Thank you all for your feedback. We've changed alot of things around.
including the way our ads are displayed. and we're also adding the option
for users to preview the site before visiting the url!
Our site manager is developed in Ajax

We've Added Small Features such as
Transfering URL's to another account.
Member API, most popular used in Wordpress to Twitter script.

@ILMV: i'm the developer, not the designer, i posted in a "php forum"
so i could get "php" feedback like: the way the site works/speed etc..

But i appreciate all Constructive Criticism, thank you

[ILMV]

PHP or not, you never specified whether you wanted critique on design or development, and remember, most people in this forum request design critique. And I believe my main point about the ads being in the way of the website is indeed a developer issue.

Regardless, you should forward any design issues on to your designer. And it would appear the advertisement is still obscuring the webpage?
