1. Adf.ly Intro
By: Brian D. Hart

2. What is Adf.ly?
Adf.ly is a URL shortening service, similar to bit.ly
or goo.gl, but with a twist. You can make money
from every link you create! Today there are
plenty of websites that give you the opportunity
to shorten your links in order to make them
more appealing. However, Adf.ly is one of the
few that can make you money.

3. How does Adf.ly work?
Adf.ly inserts an ad into every link that you create.
The ad shows for 5 seconds before the user can
skip ahead and continue to the links destination.
You make money each time a user sees an ad
in your links. As of this presentation the amount
of money you make ranges from $0.5 to $4.7,
per thousand views.

4. Displaying Interstitial Ads
Displaying Interstitial Ads in your links is the
highest paying option. If you place an interstitial
advertisement in a link you shrunk with Adf.ly
the Ad will appear full screen for five seconds
before a person can skip it and continue to their
link’s destination. While this is the highest
paying option Adf.ly offers it may not be the best
option for every situation.

5. Using a Framed Banner
A good alternative to an Interstitial Ad is a
Framed Banner. It is considered preferable by
users because this type of Ad will only show up
as a banner at the top of the browser. However
a Framed Banner will not make as much money
as an Interstitial Ad.

6. Full Page Scripts
Full Page Scripts are another service offered by
Adf.ly. A code snippet is placed in your
website’s code, changing all of your links to
Adf.ly links. However I would not advise using
Full Page Scripts, doing so will make your users
watch an ad every time they click on a link at
your website. While you can make some money
with this method, it will most likely piss of
anyone who browses your website.

7. Get Referrals to Lighten Your
Work Load
If you introduce people to Adf.ly, there is a referral
program that grants you 20% of your referral’s
earnings for life. If you get about 100 referrals,
all making approximately $1 per month, you will
automatically receive $20 every month without
doing any work. It may not seem like a lot but
money, but it quickly adds up. An easy way to
get referrals if you run a website or blog is to put
up an Adf.ly banner on your site. If a person
clicks on the banner and signs up, you will get
that referral.

8. Post on Forums
Forums are a great place to advertise Adf.ly if you
do not run a website or blog. Depending on the
forum, they can get up to hundreds or
thousands of views a month. By connecting
your Adf.ly link to a topic that interests forum
users you can get hundreds of hits a day. For
example posting a photography link you shorted
with Adf.ly in a photography forum.

9. Create videos on YouTube
YouTube is another service that in conjunction
with Adf.ly can be used to make money online.
You can put links you have shortened with
Adf.ly in the video description and if interested
viewers click on the links you get hits. If you
have a popular channel, the more videos you
post the more hits you get on links in the
description and the more money you make.

10. Linking to Social Websites
If you’re active user of websites such as Twitter,
Facebook, or MySpace you can easily make
money from them. Similar to using YouTube as
a means of displaying your links, you can also
post them to social networking sites. The more
links you post on highly trafficked websites, the
more hits you get, and the more money you
make. However this method should be used in
moderation to avoid you ‘friends’ and ‘followers’
from feeling they are being spammed by your
posts.

11. Features that make Adf.ly Great
• It’s simple to navigate and understand
• It has forums so users can talk to one another
• It allows the use of u.bb and 9.bb shortening in
addition to Adf.ly shortening
• Adf.ly gives users detailed statistics for every
link they create (including earnings, number of
hits, and the location of the hits)
• The payout (5$) is extremely low and easily
reached with a little effort

12. How much for advertising?
For a thousand visitors worldwide the initial
minimum is:
$1.00

website 45 pages of leads!
