Adf.ly Review

Adf.ly is a link shortening or link shrinking website where you get paid for sharing links. Adf.ly was started in 2009 and still running as a reputed ad network. Adf.ly is CPC, CPM or CPV based website and it offers fixed high payout rates for different countries that you can see on their website. The best thing about Adf.ly is anybody can use it to earn money, it is not necessary to have a blog or website for using this service. Anybody who wants to earn money can sign up on Adf.ly and start sharing links anywhere on Internet whether on your blog, social networking sites, forums etc to earn a good income from Adf.ly.

They say that you can share their links on social networking sites like Facebook, twitter, Google plus etc. But personally i have never shared their links on social networking sites and before sharing your links please do an effective search about sharing their links on Facebook or Twitter because i have found many bad reviews about Adf.ly links on various sites, where the have clearly mentioned that your Facebook account will be banned if you share Adf.ly links on Facebook or Twitter.

One more thing that i like about this network is their links never expire, so you can make money with them till your link remains online or their company goes off. Also you will be paid for multiple views of an ad by single visitor as they say that most views you can be credited off one visitor in 24 hours is 5. So its a good site to earn with/without any blog or website. 

But overall its a good and safe network to use because it is very popular ad network and also it has high trust ratings.
