Craigslist Method

This is probably the FASTEST way to get clicks and traffic. Now, getting craigslist traffic is not as easy as just posting your links in ads. Craigslist has banned the use of in posts. However, all is not lost because I will show you an easy way to utilize Craigslist and it's millions of views per day. Popular items can earn 1000's of hits a day during the life of the ad.

Step 1. Find a picture or several pictures of something popular. Usually gaming systems, computers, DVDs and such are popular items. Upload these pictures to a hosting site. Adf.ly these links and keep them on the side.

Step 2. Create a post on Craigslist, example: "Bunch of DVD for sale"

Step 3. Create a 'page' here. After creating your page, add your Adf.ly links and make them click-able.

Step 4. Add the 'page' link into your Craigslist post description as "Click here to view pics". (People will be taken to your page with your adf.ly links.)

Step 5. Post your ad for viewing. You should start receiving adf.ly clicks soon after. This method has worked extremely well and is only limited to the amount of ads you place. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if one post can bring you 1000 clicks a day then 10 posts can bring you 10,000 hits a day.

 You can also just cloak your links using nullrefer and post the cloaked link directly to your craigslist ads.

 Of course I do not condone posting fake ads on Craigslist, and this is being shown only as an example of how to generate Craigslist traffic to your links

Enjoy :)

Yahoo Answers Method

This method is really easy to implement. First you need two Yahoo! accounts. Then go to one of the accounts and ask some popular questions. I usually ask five question. When you have done that, go to your other account and answer the questions & include your adf.ly link. This method gives you a steady amount of clicks everyday. Enjoy :)

Blogging + Adfly = $$$

Blogger is a free service provided by google for creating blogs. You can create as many blogs from blogger as you want, so why don't you utilize this service for making money from adf.ly. create some blogs, write some posts, put adf.ly full page script or website entry script in those blogs and it's done. Now you just have to get some traffic to your blog and that can be easily done just read this article - Get Traffic.

Getting around the Facebook block & cloaking

In order to encourage people to click you need to cloak the adf.ly link. In order to cloak the link there are various techniques such as using other shorteners. However not all available shorteners approve Adf.ly links. I use Ow.ly & it works great. 

Another way of hiding adf.ly links is through nullrefer. Using nullrefer you can also get around the facebook block. Just paste your adf.ly link into nullrefer and then use the cloaked link. 

Enjoy :)


Adfly Twitter Method

Today you will learn how to automate the money making process using twitter and adfly, this works by automatically posting useful and topic related updates to your twitter account while having links automatically shrunk using adfly and posted to your twitter account, earning you some cash in the process.

How AdFly Works: People pay to advertise with adf.ly, and people who shrink their links with adf.ly get a cut of the profit every time someone clicks an adf.ly shortened link. When the adfly shortened link is clicked, there will be a 5 second ad shown to the person who clicked the link before they are able to move on to the page they wanted to view.



Create a Twitter account based on a certain niche, maybe about baseball, or weight loss, whatever you want, I prefer to go with what interest me, like a hobby. Go to Twitterfeed and sign up for a free account, I'll discuss this later. Create An Adfly Account ADFLY fill out all the necessary information. At the bottom of the form, make sure your account type is set to "link shrinker". adfly only pays through PayPal or "AlertPay", so be sure you're signed up with one of the two.

Working with RSS Feeds Okay, so now what you want to do is go to Google, and search for any website that posts information and updates about the specific niche that you chose to base your twitter account on. When you find the site you want, look for something on the page that will link you to that websites RSS feed, If you have trouble finding if they provide feeds or not, you can either go to "FIND" or "SEARCH" located in your browsers toolbar and type RSS in the search box, or enter the web site address in Google and add rss after it. eg: gamestop.com rss This will usually bring you to a page where you can select what rss feed you want, some sites offer multiple rss feeds so select the one you feel fits your needs.

Adding Your RSS Feed To TwitterFeed Go back to Twitterfeed , and create a new feed. Add Feed To Twitterfeed For this step all you have to do is copy the url of the feed you want to use, and paste it in to twitterfeed. Add whatever you want for the name, and in the "Blog URL or RSS Feed URL" area, copy/paste (add) the url of the rss feed you want to use.

 Advanced Settings On the same screen click the "Advanced Settings" button and go to "shorten link through", there is a drop down box beside it, open it up and scroll to the bottom and select "Custom", Leave it empty for now and go back to Adfly, while logged in to adf.ly go to the top of the page and click Tools, on the tools page go to "API Documentation" and click. On this page you will see a link that looks like this http://api.adf.ly/api.php?key=################################&uid=######&advert_type=int&domain=adf.ly&url=http://somewebsite.com # represents your id and key. Now take your key and uid and place it in this link (replace the # with your key and uid) http://api.adf.ly/api.php?key=################################&uid=######&domain=adf.ly&url=%@ http://somewebsite.com Must Be Replaced With %@ In order for this to work. Also you may have noticed that in the modified link "advert_type=int" has been removed, this is because TwitterFeed has issues showing the interstitial ad (full page ad) and just leads to a dead page when clicked, or shows the ads but doesn't redirect to the desired page, so the only way to fix this is by removing the "advert_type=int" instruction from the link and adf.ly will automatically use the interstitial link instruction and will work properly with TwitterFeed. Now when that's done, all you have to do is copy and paste your new link into the twitterfeed Custom endpoint box and "Continue to step 2" on twitterfeed. "There are more advanced options that will serve you well, but you can play around with that on your own time."

 LAST STEP Make sure that you are logged in to the twitter account that you want to use with twitterfeed, you are going to want to activate your twitter account with twitterfeeds oauth so it will automatically post feed/blog updates to your twitter account using the rss feed that you provided to twitterfeed, when that's all done, click done at the bottom, twitter will now get updated feed posts from twitterfeed, and the links in each post will now be automatically shrunk using adf.ly and posted to your twitter updates, and every time someone clicks your adf.ly link, you make a bit of cash.
