Adf.ly is a website which shrink links and when someone clicks on that shrinking links you will be paid.
Let me be more specific:
- You want to shrink a particular link, say for example, 'www.facebook.com'
- Now adf.ly will shrink it and give you as, 'http://adf.ly/1ULMV3'
- Now as your link has been shrinked, when some one clicks on your shrinking link you will get paid for that
- In this case your shrinked link is, 'http://adf.ly/1ULMV3'
Now, the interesting point is that when someone clicks on your shrinking link, before redirecting it to Google, it will take you to the adf.ly website where you will see an ad for 5 second and thereafter you can skip it, and it will take you to Google.
How it works
However I have shown you an overview on how it works, but still some questions are unanswered like, 'Why adf.ly pays you and makes money for itself'.Now to make it a bit more clear lets take an example-
- Advertisers pay money to adf.ly to show their websites to visitors of any specific country or in other words the entire world.Let's say the advertiser paid $2.5 per 1000 visitors
- Here adf.ly takes a amount, let's say $0.5
- Adf.ly shows the advertisement of advertiser's business or product for 5 seconds, and when a visitor clicks on publisher's link, publisher will get the remaining amount.Here the remaining amount is $2 per 1000 visitors.
This is how the entire process of adf.ly works.Now their might be a question in your mind, whether it is real or fake, well me explain you:

Types of link
Desktop CPV
Interstitial CPV: These are the CPV (cost per click) shown on your desktop or laptop for 5 seconds. Example link: http://adf.ly/1UNy1f

Interstitial CPM: This indicates the money you will earn for every 1000 ads view on mobile phones, that the visitors has to see it for 5 seconds.
Types of visitors
- Unique: Average amount paid for 1000 visitors in a span of 24 hours period

To understand it clearly, let's take an example.Let us assume that a person clicked on two of your adf.ly links, within 24 hours period, this means that you get one unique view and two raw views. Raw views pays slightly less than unique views.
