Is adf.ly a genuine earning source?

11 years ago

No. Its a total waste of time if you are using it to build lists. You can build a list of 1000 people in a few days and the list will be unresponsive.

No, i am using its referral program.
Testing it for few days to see will it work?
But i read on internet that it is scam but few people were saying no it is not?
And their short links are treated as spam on facebook.

I had tried to do list building with adf.ly once, using a free giveaway in an IM niche. I could not sell a single item to them (and yes, I do send solid free info to my buyers also, I don't market too often - not that I am much into IM niches...). Eventually I had to throw away the list, losing the (tiny) investment, time, effort and everything.

That was just my experience. Others may have been successful for all I know.

Total waste of time, every reputable site treat it like spam.. when hyper linked and if you have something good to promote, you will lose your chances of conversion utilizing adf.ly as a direction link... It was okay in the beginning..."very beginning".. too many people abused it and discredited it... now its useless..

You can definitely get a flood of traffic from adf.ly. Although the traffic is considered to be one of the lowest quality, least targeted traffic on the internet. On the other hand there are a number of people that know how to monetize that traffic source. I wouldn't recommend it though.

Like Russel said, there are people who know how to convert adf.ly visits, they are a genuine company but the problem is a lot of people who are new to marketing go with them because they are cheap.

The combination of no real online advertising experience leads to a lot of people bad mouthing the millions of visits that you could potentially convert (if you know how)

In saying that, noone is going to give you their method on converting it, just test different techniques and most importantly - think outside of the box

I would stay away from Adf.ly. I built a list of 300 in one day for around $8.00 and thought that was really amazing. But that list of 300 was a waste because they were unresponsive to my emails. If you are looking to build a list, I would stick with buying solo ads.

okashii 11 years ago

I still don't know what sane person would use adf.ly for building a list... specially in the MMO niche, seriously guys, don't do it lol. I mean I love the WF sales mentality, but in this case is just shooting yourself in the foot, is not pretty and you won't look very smart doing it.

With that said I made money with adf.ly, in fact got to 400% ROI on one campaign. But I was doing strictly CPA, not sales or list building at all. And I wasn't targeting USA. You will also need a slick landing page and a grasp of the kind of places Adf.ly gets most of their traffic and its demographics (young people, games, torrents, movies and whatnot). Nuff said.

Peace and profit.

I suggest you start using dablia. At adf.ly you get paid for how many visitors that comes on your shorten links, and you need alot of traffic to earn alot of money. On dablia I can just insert my website URL in the settings after I have registerd, then when people goes on my short links people need to stay on my website for at least 1 min. Then after 1 min they will be redirected to the original link. So when the 3k visitors that goes to my short links each day, they all spends 1 min on my website. So I get 3k extra website traffic, and they see all of my banners on my website.

The traffic from Adfly would be of low quality as it is not targeted traffic. However, there is money to be made from any type of traffic if you know the right way to monetize them. I do have a few friends that make profit from the traffic from adfly although the profit margin is quite low. One of them build a list from adfly in the typical make money online niche and sells them Internet Marketing Products that cost less than $10. Anything more than $10 will not work.

I agree. Looking at Adf.ly's earnings, popularity and history, it's pretty easy to tell that it's not a scam but a legitimate site. A lot of people have good things to say about this website so if you are in search of affordable form advertising, this is the way you should go. The only downside that I see here is that the quality of visitors is not that good because they're not really targeted. This means that the conversion rate is also expected to be quite low.

Well, just like other forms of advertising, so long as this method is done the right way, Adf.ly can prove to be an effective way of fast list building and let's not forget that this is among the cheapest options out there.

I agree with athusbangk. It is very easy to build a big, inexpensive list with adf.ly. I built a big list within a couple of days. Unfortunately, they were not responsive to my marketing. I have had more success with the traffic from Neobux. People on this site are there to make money by clicking on ads, so it makes sense me to get them on my list and market I.M. products to them.

I think he was asking about their Make Money Program, not link building or their traffic.

All of these replies are about how bad they are when it comes to link building, the OP didn't ask about link building, he is asking has anyone used their Make Money Program.

Adf.ly is legit, they do payout, I really never made a lot of money with them because you need about 1000 visitors to click your adfly link and people usually don't like those types of links in my business.

Now as the replies above stated, adfly isn't good when it comes to targeted traffic or building a list.

They are marked as spam on facebook. Plus their technique is not so good. People will have to visit a separate page for ad and then they are redirected to original URL (that sucks). So adfly is a NO.

Publisher's viewpoint

i changed my mind now and stop using top banner short urls.
Although top banner looks like much less annoying for site visitors.

But top banner size is too big, unattractive banners, cheating advertisers, more websites not allow being framed, the earning result and statistics count from top banner urls forced me to start using ONLY full page ad short URLs.
