You could have an interstitial page that shows an ad before redirecting to the page, but then people probably wouldn't use the service. You'd have to offer some extra value that would make people choose the service anyway over other ones without ads.

Maybe on the ad page, you could show statistics for the link that they're about to see. That would be kind of interesting.
