Curious with Adf.ly

Philippines
November 5, 2012 8:21pm CST
I had been using adf.ly for quite so long. You are getting paid here if someone viewed your shortened links. I am just planning to use such in my blog but I am just curious if adf.ly will be gone; what shall happen to the links I shortened and put in my blog? Will it redirect to the original link or will it be non-accessible if ever adfly is gone?

I do know of some major online streaming sites using adfly, i think if you ever use it do have a back up copy of your link source code so that you can back it up anytime if adfly fails to work. Adfly had been around for sometime, i don't think it would be gone that easily and just for your information i do feel annoyed when a website has a adfly link

I use AdFl.y for my links on my blog also. I check them every once in a while. And the answer to your question is is AdFl.y was no longer around, they will not redirect. It would be a broken link. That would be the same with any referral link even without a link shortener. Don't worry about it so much. Just go and check your blog every once in a while. And besides, as long as AdFl.y is still around you should have nothing to worry about.

Yes, of course. If their server busy or maybe, they gone, all your link can't be access anymore. That's consequence if you use redirect link service. You can get money from it, but you have to be ready if some day they will gone. So, my advice, don't use adf.ly for all your links. That's very risk.

The adf.ly link with your blog on it will not work. If someone will open your blog it will show up with your direct blog. If your problem if it just if it direct to your blog , you can used tinyurl.com. I just wanna know if how many much do they pay you per unique view

If Adfly (or any other link shortener) disappears, the links will no longer work and they WON'T automatically revert to the original links. It's up to you to maintain your links as you want them.

I assume you would have to redo the links in your blog but adf.ly has been around for a while now and don't see any reason it would just go away so sign yourself up and try and get started right away(every delayed day is lost income in that sense). best of luck with the blog!
