*URL Shortening - Make Money by Creating Short URL!

URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web where a provider makes a web page available under a very short URL in addition to the original address. For example, the page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TinyURL&diff=283621022&oldid=283308287 can be shortened to http://tinyurl.com/mmw6lb. This kind of technique can be used with blogs, forums, websites, Twitter etc.

There are some famous URL shortening services like tinyurl.com, bit.ly, budurl.com etc. They are all free to use. But one of the disadvantages of them is that you can’t make money with them. Here I will list out some URL shortening services which are free to use and at the same time making money with them.

The BEST url shortening services are:

1. Adf.ly

Adf.ly is the best service I have ever seen. You can use the free URL shortening service and get paid to share your links on the Internet.  It generates revenue from the advertisers.  This is an example URL for Google: http://adf.ly/5XR. You just register for an account and start shrinking, and get paid for every person that visits your URLs. Adf.ly offers different payout rates for visitors from different countries. For US visitors, you can earn more than $2.00 / 1000 visitors to your links. Although it seems not much earnings but it already is the highest rate in the similar industry.  You can place your links on Facebook, Twitter, forums, personal websites or any social networking sites.

Adf.ly provides you with many useful tools you need to do your work better, including real-time statistics, mass shrinker, links & stats exporter, full page script etc.

If you want the HIGHEST PAYOUT RATES for visitors to your links, do sign up to Adf.ly!

2.LinkBee

LinkBee is also a good URL shortening service provider. You can create your links for free and get paid for visitors to your links. LinkBee offers good payout rates. For visitors from countries like US and UK, you get paid $2.00 / 1000 visitors to your links.

The features of LinkBee include real time analytics, photo sharing on Twitter, referral tracking etc.

LinkBee also offers the BEST referral program. You can make more money on referring your friends, up to 5 levels. Here are your shares for each level:

Level 1 – 15%
Level 2 – 10%
Level 3 – 5%
Level 4 – 5%
Level 5 – 5%

Although the payout rates and referral program are good, there has been lack in support recently. There are also some technical problems on some user accounts. I guess the admin is too busy with other works because they have other programs running and don’t have much time to take care of this service.  But when they have enough staff, they may return to make this service better than ever.

If you want a URL shortening service with GOOD PAYOUT RATES AND REFERRAL PROGRAM, do sign up to LinkBee!
