Can I Click On My Own Links?
You may click on your own AdF.ly links 1 time to test them.
You may not create links solely to 'test'.
Can I Ask People To Click On My Links To Earn Money?
No, the user must click on your AdF.ly links because they wish to get to the destination website - not because they are asked or forced to.
You may not offer ANY incentive for a user to click on an AdF.ly link other than the destination link content.
For example, you cannot award points, a bonus or money.
Can AdF.Ly Links Be Opened In A Popup?
No this is not allowed.
AdF.ly links cannot be opened automatically in a popup or automatically redirected in any way.
The only legitimate way to open an AdF.ly link is for one of your visitors to click on the actual link.
Can I Post A Referral Link On A PTC Website?
Yes you can.
We allow this because advertisers are not paying for the traffic.
Can I Place AdF.Ly Links On My Adult Website/Forum?
You may not place AdF.ly links on any website that contains or link to adult material, not limited to porn or adult advertising.
This is deemed as anything that is not suitable to someone under the age of 18 and is at our discretion.
If you prefer to work with adult content we suggest you to register an account in our dedicated adult URL shortener at

Can I Shrink Websites That Contain Adult Material?

Why Have I Received An Account Termination Notice (DMCA)?
A Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice is a notification sent by the copyright owner or representative reporting AdFly links that contain copyright-infringing material.
