AdLinkFly - Monetized URL Shortener

AdLinkFly is a self-hosted monetized URL shortener PHP script for building your own paid link shortening website. Publishers create and share short URLs to earn from qualified paid views, while advertisers create targeted advertising campaigns. The site owner manages publisher payout rates, advertiser pricing, membership plans, payments, withdrawals, referrals, domains, analytics, languages, themes, content, and traffic-quality rules from one administration panel.

AdLinkFly 7 introduces Aurora, a modern standalone frontend theme, together with powerful membership plans, multiple earning modes, custom domains, advanced analytics, traffic-quality controls, translation management, SEO tools, API features, and extensive administration options.

Review the complete System Requirements shown on this product page before purchasing or upgrading.

Qualified Paid Views

AdLinkFly separates raw clicks from valid paid views so publisher earnings and advertiser campaign traffic can follow the rules configured by the site owner.

• Enforce a configurable paid-view limit per visitor IP and calendar day.
• Apply the uniqueness limit across the website or independently for each campaign.
• Exclude proxy, VPN, TOR, hosting, or other detected proxy-service traffic when proxy detection is enabled.
• Exclude visits detected with an ad blocker from publisher earnings.
• Require JavaScript and cookies for the paid-view flow.
• Require the configured CAPTCHA when it is enabled for the short-link flow.
• Require visitors to complete the countdown assigned to the link owner's membership plan.
• Store a reason for non-earning statistics so administrators can review why a click did not become a paid view.

Publishers

• Publishers create short links, share them with real visitors, and earn from qualified paid views.
• Set publisher CPM payout rates separately for each country and traffic source.
• Allow direct, interstitial, banner, and random interstitial-or-banner redirect types according to the publisher's membership plan.
• Give publishers a member dashboard with earnings, balance, link, referral, campaign, invoice, and withdrawal information.
• Display statistics by month and year with automatically generated charts.
• Allow eligible publishers to view, edit, hide, unhide, and delete their links.
• Allow publishers to review individual link statistics when the site and membership plan enable that feature.

Advertiser System

• Advertisers can create interstitial, banner, and popup campaigns.
• Advertisers select the countries from which they want to purchase traffic.
• Campaign pricing can be configured separately by country, ad type, and traffic source.
• Advertisers can target desktop traffic, mobile and tablet traffic, or all supported devices.
• Campaigns move through Pending Payment, Under Review, Active, Paused, Finished, Canceled, Invalid Payment, and Refunded workflows as applicable.
• Advertisers can pay campaign invoices, pause or resume eligible campaigns, and monitor campaign views and spending.
• Administrators can create and manage default campaigns so the short-link flow has fallback advertisements.

Earning Modes

• Simple mode: Count qualified paid views using advertisements and payout rates configured by the administrator without requiring users to create advertiser campaigns.
• Campaigns mode: Count publisher earnings from eligible active campaigns while allowing users to create, fund, pause, resume, and monitor their own campaigns.
• Switch the active earning model from the administration settings without changing the publisher short-link workflow.
• Continue the visitor flow with a zero-earning fallback when Campaigns mode cannot find an eligible paid campaign.

Membership Plans
