About

adf.ly is a proprietary online URL shortening service that allows users to earn money for each visitor to their shortened links by displaying advertisements. Operating under a 'Free Proprietary' license, its core product is a link-sharing platform with integrated monetization features. While some users have noted its popularity for earning money, the service faces significant criticism for its aggressive and potentially harmful advertising practices; reviews frequently highlight that adf.ly forces dangerous ads, requires users to enable potentially malicious JavaScript, and blocks adblockers, which can lead to a poor user experience, a loss of visitors, and even pose risks to operating systems. Users have also reported very low or zero conversion rates for their earnings, making it an unreliable source of income for many. Information regarding its founding history, leadership, employee count, specific revenue figures, market competitors, country of origin, locality, or region is not publicly available.
