There are plenty of terms associated with this site adfly, adf.ly, short links, tinyurl, bitly, bit.ly, earn money, link advertising, tiny url, url shortener.

    im not join adf.ly but i think it makes many people getting upset while we are redirecting to other site rather than the site that we want to see, for the example i want to download a mp3, but many times it can't get me to the right site, just around the adf.ly
    i think u can use bit.ly, its better =) CMIIW

    Its earning part is real but its not worth advertising on because most people now a days are using some sort of ad blockers and when you visit a adf.ly link, you dont see the ad / iframe but you see the skip ad on the top, and if you advertise with them you still get charged for that.

    if you want to join them, it's ok because they pay ( i got 5,23 $)
    but as an advertiser i must agree to @DjChugg

    Unless the service is a scam try and not put the word scam in the title because this thread is likely to rank for the keywords "adf.ly" and adf.ly scam" when in fact the service isn't a scam. I don't think you'd like it if people created threads about your service with "_____ is a scam?" etc so don't do it to other people.

    It's safe but it's a pain the ass for the people that click on them. I personally hate those types of links so I don't do it. But if you are okay with it then by all means go with it. It does work well from the advertiser side also (the people that pay adf to show their site in those seconds) depending on the niche.

    Adf.ly is really good, if you have website with lots of links you can earn at least 50USD per month, I'm making around 100USD per month and I'm loving it;)
