If you have no steady traffic/hits the URL redirect provider is not generating any advert traffic and therefore no money. Which is what pays for the server, bandwidth, time, etc.
A click-thru script would not be a good idea either for the reason mentioned above. As another post stated develop a site with content and some traffic should follow.
In our TOS we leave this limit very vague. I've simply not had enough measurable traffic at this point to attempt to institute a soft hit limit. I can attest that the more valuable the name you choose the more likely I would want that redirect name to be active. Traffic=adverts=revenue.
An example is someone chooses a name such as /j8yui9 (for whatever reason) whereas another person may choose a name such as /phonecards. Obviously one is more valuable commodity than the other and should generate more traffic.
If the person holding the /phonecards name does little to promote their site and therefore has no traffic then the value of that particular name is a loss. At a given point I would be forced to request the account produce traffic.
