You may have seen a lot of short links for long urls and so
are many URL shortening websites. But adf.ly is a URL shortening website with a
twist. You get paid whenever these links are visited. Get Paid? Yes you really
get paid. I was also amazed when I found that I have made actually come cents
just by sharing links. Now let’s discuss in detail how adf.ly works.
How adf.ly works?
You shorten a link and share it and you get paid. Amazing! But
what is the mechanism behind?
Adf.ly is basically and advertising service, But it do not
takes space
on your websites, actually it do not needs a website. They also don’t
show Ads in annoying pop-ups. Whenever someone clicks to your link, which you
have shorten using adf.ly, before redirecting the person to the main URL, they
show an advertisement which the person can skip after 5 seconds.
Let’s take an example to understand this better-
A person has launched a new range of products, and now he
wants to promote them so that people can know about it. Adf.ly do the same job
for him. The person will pay. For example $5 for per 1000 times his
Advertisement is shown. Now adf.ly will keep its share, lets say $1 and put
this advertisement in the links its users (You) shorten. Now everyone who click
the link, will see the Advertiser Ad and after 5 seconds he can skip the Ad and
move on the main destination.

will be- is adf.ly is a scam? Let’s clear this next-
