Get paid to share your links!

Last Update : October 08th, 2016  

First, if you want to see a french version of this article, Click Here

Secondly, I wish to inform that the website interface and dashboard were blended the 01/29/2013 and of course it is much better. So the screenshots are outdated. Of course, I'm not going to start this article by a new one because this one is enough big! However, I think!

Addendum 08/31/2013: It's done, and I have reflected I have added some screenshots on Picassa about of the Adf.ly new version which is much better of course! For cons, I do not repost the old photos on the new platform, it is useless! However, I let them because it is possible to revert to the old Adf.ly interface.

Third, this post is an introduction to the interface. with some explanations from me. I do not claim to earn thousands or _ hundreds of dollars, but yet earn between 0 and a few pennies and then a few dollars, it might be the beginning of wealth!

Fourth, I want to ask you that Adf.ly is complex and time consuming to understand. It already takes a good knowledge in blogs, social networks, forums, and certainly many more knowledge!

NOTE: This article is constantly changing ... The date in red above shows the last time I have modified the file which has been created on June 18th 2012. It has been modified regularly by adddenda since then !

Do you want to make money with simple links using shortcuts Adfly?

Shorten, share, cash!

You find an interesting article, slide the article link in the AdF.ly URL gear, send the new URL to your friends, Once people start to click on your Short URL, you start to earn money ! But it is essential to have to wait 5 seconds and click "Skip Ad" at the top right, to validate your payment. This is the same principle on Youtube with his ad which passes five seconds before starting the video!

Begin by registering with the following link which is a referral link ), ie inherent to my personal account. When you will sign up and you will log in, Adf.ly will give you a referral link with which you can also promote your own with your friends or readers by writing a post like this or another topic. Mine, it is characterized as follows : http://adf.ly/?id=xxxxxxx ; This link is important because it will earn me 20% for life! And ditto for you when your friends have registered with your referral link (you will receive 20% of their earnings for life!

How to sign up with referral link ?

Mine looks like this: http://adf.ly/?id=1959792, It is located below, but you can copy this link into your browser and you will start to register:

➔ Please, sign up with my Adf.ly referral link : HERE

Addendum 08/31/2013 - New interface : 

 

 
IMPORTANT NOTE: You have two type of accounts you choose the first type of course:

• Link shrinker : Create shortened URLs and earn money 
• Advertiser : Pay to advertise your website on adfly

Addendum 31/08/2013 - Nouvelle interface :

Partie haute :

 Partie basse :

Login :

This article is quite long, I shortened to avoid scrolling but ultimately, it is very long because of the addenda (Addendum-um being singular in Latin and -a the plural) that I have added.

I - Referral tab:

Before I begin, I must inform you that I have added in Addendum dated and later in this article, with screenshots to provide proofs of referrals (or affiliates) who registered via my referral link. These referrals are signed up in a dedicated file to this purpose: All my referrals, HERE. All earnings with my referrals: HERE.

Once registered, you can navigate with the tabs and select Referrals as below:

Addendum 31/08/2013 - Nouvelle interface : 

Partie haute

Partie graphique

Partie basse :

 

Below we note 503 visits for $ 0,459 for earning  from France

We also note 18 visits to a gain of $ 0,042 from the United States.
The ratio is 503/18 = 27.9

So if my traffic came from the United States, my earnings would be: 0.042 x 27.9 = $ 1.17

To give you an idea of the link, here's a screenshot of my personal account is http://adf.ly/?id=1959792 as below:

Click on image to enlarge

If you to see all my referrals I have earnt with my adf.ly referral link : 

http://adf.ly/aL1M0

However, continuing with the Referrals link because it leads to a orange menu with four options,

the first element, we have just seen, is the referral code or sponsorship,

the second is the Publisher stats,

the third are Advertiser stats on which I will return with an addendum in case I will get some registration avec referral link,

the last element of the banners you will notice horizontal banners, long and smaller, vertical pattern and square shape.

In the picture below, I flew over the banner, with "Make money with your links - Register now", the 4th, where you will notice my referral link that I showed you earlier by flying the banner at the bottom left of my browser.

Click on image to enlarge 

Then, below the banner, there is a text: Display HTML Code , which appears when you click and a code to insert into your favorite blog.

Click on image to enlarge

Click in this area where is the HTML code, highlight or press Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste. Here is what it would look like on your blog:

Get paid to share your links!

To begin with, in order to benefit a blog, there are several platform, but I will choose by simplicity blogger account, but before, do not try, it is mandatory, go to http://mail.google.com/mail/ (wait 5 seconds and click "Skip Ad" at the top right), to open an email address on gmail and then go http://www.blogger.com/home to register for a new blog (wait 5 seconds and click "Skip Ad" at the top right), and then go. A small digression, you could try alternatives by registering with "SIGN UP" as wordpress for server, wordpress without server, posterous, livejournal, TypePad, OverBlog, tumblr or another platform web log (blog).

Do not bother to write a post for the moment, follow the instructions that come go to "Layout"  blogger's menu (see image below) that will display the image:

II - Onglet Tools :

It's not over because we are going back over several links I mentioned above, especially when I mentioned the need to have a google gmail account to access a blogger account. In the link to click  http://mail.google.com/mail/, (wait 5 seconds and click "Skip Ad" at the top right), in my case relating to my account, the implied link is this: http://adf.ly/1959792/mail.google.com/mail/
And yeshere again, affecting my referral link to the Gmail address from Google, I will make money in this way using tools at my disposal into my Adf.ly account.

If you have no need for a short URL and you just want to make money from your blog or website, here is the quickest and simplest possible way to earn with adf.ly: ...

Replace "www.google.com" with whatever URL you wish the user to go to if they skip the advertisement.

You do not need to even login to adf.ly to use this and your account will be credited in the same way as if you had shortened the link.

If you want the Easy Link with the Banner advertising (less money, but less intrusive):

II - 2 - Tools - Bookmarket :

In the left menu, you have " Bookmarklet ", you will find a link that is blue and orange when you are hover, then click on it without dropping the mouse button to place in the bar below the entry of the URL of your favorite browser (Opera for yours truly here to download  Opera Download -   (wait 5 seconds and click "Skip Ad" at the top right), and then go.

Click on image to enlarge

Now, as a example to shrink a link, just go on a site you like, a particular url of an article, a video or other. As this example I found on plagiarism by Steven Spielberg with his cult film Indiana Jones and the adventurer of the Lost Ark: Se rendre ICI  (wait 5 seconds and click "Skip Ad" at the top right), and then go. video which is 282,265 views June 18, 2012.

Click on image to enlarge

Therefore, So how does one by a concrete example with the bookmarklet button located on your browser ? Go to a video or an article, once the video starts, you can press  bookmarklet  button, the image, below, connects to adf.ly that asks you to sign in with your email address and password and then appears with a shortcut link that may need to copy and (video to 23 149 to August 13, 2012) to send to all your friends: 

Click on image to enlarge

Here this link : http://adf.ly/9qCDc (wait 5 seconds and click "Skip Ad" at the top right), and then go. This is the shortcut link that offers adf.ly and mail it anywhere you like. I can post wherever I like, by mail, on a blog, website, forum (s), social networks.

Here is an excerpt from my account from June 10, 2012:

Click on image to enlarge

Click on image to enlarge

You may notice that the youtube video link on plagiarism by Steven Spielberg with his cult classic adventurer Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark: Here  (wait 5 seconds and click "Skip Ad" at the top right), and then go. has been clicked on 4 occasions (note that http://adf.ly/9nd1e while is committing to http://youtu.be/Ns8bG9AbfwM) and Advert Type : Interstitial which is less intrusive than the banner 

II - 3 - Tools - API Documentation :

adf.ly provides you with a simple, yet useful API for your application. Simply have your application access a URL like the following example:

http://api.adf.ly/api.php?key=3228ff022e8a0dada5adf184c30d8f6a&uid=1959792&advert_type=int&domain=adf.ly&url=http://somewebsite.com 

Replace "http://somewebsite.com" with whatever URL you are wanting shortened. The "key" and "uid" fields must be as they are above or the request will return an error.

Replace "advert_type=int" with "advert_type=banner" if you require the Framed Banner advertising option.

Replace "domain=adf.ly" with "domain=q.gs" if you wish to use our q.gs domain.

The shortened URL will be returned to you in the body of the response in plain text. If the request was unsuccessful for any reason you will receive "error" as your response. If the exact link you request is already in your account, the original shortened URL will be returned to you and no new entry added to your account.

There will most likely be special characters in the URL you send, so you must encode the URL with Javascript's encodeURIComponent() or its equivalent in other languages, otherwise your request will fail.

II - 4 - Tools - Google Analytics : 

Ever wished you could have the same statistics that Analytics gives you, in a URL shortener?

Well now you can. Just enter your Analytics tracker code below (in the format shown) and you will be able to view all of the stats in your Google account.

Please allow several hours for your Google account to be updated. Again not really understand, I spent my code, and no news! 

II - 5 - Tools - Full Page Script :

If you have a website with 100's or 1000's of links you want to change over to adf.ly then please use the script below.

Simply copy-and-paste the code below on to your webpage or blog and the links will be updated automatically - simple!

You can add or remove any domains for the code that you use or your website.

NOTE: There is a code that corresponds to the paragraph above that I can give here. But the explanation is clear enough.

Or if you wish to change every link to adf.ly on your website (without stating exactly which domains) please use the following code.

NOTE: There is a code that corresponds to the paragraph above that I can give here.

There is a code that corresponds to this paragraph above that I can't give here. You can add as many domains to the exclusion list as you wish. If you want to use Full Page Script with the Banner advertising (less money, but less intrusive) change the following line:

var adfly_advert = 'int';

var adfly_advert = 'banner';

...

II - 6 - Tools - Website Entry Script :

If you have a website and wish to earn money when a visitor simply enters your site, please use the following script.

Copy-and-paste the code below on to your webpage or blog.

If you advertise your website on a PTC site, it is NOT permitted to include this Website Entry Script that page of your site.

NOTE : There is a code that corresponds to the paragraph above that I can not give it here  

The 'frequency_cap' is the number of times the user will be redirected to AdF.ly advertising in 24 hours.

The 'frequency_delay' is the number of minutes between adverts show to the user, it recommended to keep the default settings.

The 'init_delay' is the number of seconds between the advertising being displayed and your website loading. It is recommended to keep this to a few seconds so that user will see your website first and then our advertising. It reduces the chances of the user clicking the BACK button.

If you want to use the Website Entry Script with the Banner advertising (less money, but less intrusive) change the following line: 

var adfly_advert = 'int';

var adfly_advert = 'banner';

Personally, I used this method, then I abandoned it because I find it heavy! Every time someone comes to the site/blog, advertising engages !

II - 7 - Tools - Export Links & Stats :
