First of all let me explain about types of ads adf.ly provides in their links.

Adf.ly provides two types of ads:

Desktop CPV

Interstitials CPV: This are CPV (Cost Per View) ads that is shown for 5 seconds. Example Link: https://adf.ly/PNDe3

Top Banner CPV: These are CPM (Cost Per Mile) banner ad shown at the top of the website URL you shortened using adf.ly. Example link: https://adf.ly/pd0fh

Interstitials CPM: This indicates the money you will get for every 1000 ad views on mobile phones that the visitor has to see for at least 5 seconds.

Top Banner CPM: This indicates the money that you will earn for every  1000 impressions of banners on mobile phones.

Unique and Raw

There are two types of views according to which you will make different amount of money.

Unique: Average amount paid for 1000 visitors in the 24-hour period.

Raw: Average amount paid on the 1st advert view for 1000 link views in the 24-hour period. In this case the views matter not visitors.

Let us take an example to understand it. Let us say that one person clicked on two of your adf.ly links within 24 hour period, this mean that you have got one unique view but two raw views. Raw views pay slightly less than unique views.

It might be low compared to those get rich quick scams that claims that you can make more than $1000 a day sitting at sofa. Earning real money needs patience and hard work.

I have seen people making more than $50 a day using AdFly. The only secrets are persistent and continuous effort.

It is quite easy then also I am writing the steps so that even a novice can also join Adf.ly and start making money posting links on the web.

The whole process will not take more than 2 minutes.

Best thing I like about Adfly is that even a person that do not know much about computers, internet and other tech stuffs can also make money from it. There is no specific strategy to make money from Adfly. I am going to give you some of the ideas to make money from it but it doesn’t mean that these are the only ways to make money. Be creative to make your own ways to share your links so that it reaches to the huge number of people and they click on it.

In a nutshell, a person is only going to click your links if you have something interesting or valuable to share through your links. Here are some of the places you can share your links. But before you share your links; be sure you have something people want to check out. Let’s start:

Most of the forums allow links in your posts. Find a trending topic that is going to be trending for few months at least (So that you can make money for months). Find forums related to that topic and sign up to them. Find something related to that topic and post on them on the forums. Keep increasing your posts solely (Note: Never spam or you will get banned from forums).You will see your earnings increasing slowly.

This is similar to the above trick. Just the difference is that this time you are posting on blogs related to your topic.

Social networks are place where people usually share links. Only you have to do is that, find some famous social networks and before posting any link shorten it with adf.ly. But you should take care that a person after seeing the advertisement and skipping the ad, should get something interesting. If he gets something junk, surely he is not going to click your links anymore in the future.

Note: Most famous social networks like facebook, twitter etc. have banned adf.ly links. Don’t worry there are other social networks which have not banned them.

If you have a blog or a website, you can use it to make money from Adf.ly. Just change your outgoing links to adf.ly links or you can also their full page script or website entry script.

Note: I never recommend you to use adf.ly links on professional blog or website.
