Adf.ly vs Linkbucks vs Coinurl

Sometimes we need to shorted the url, so we can easy to remember it. And we need a short url website to do it. Most of website are free like bit.ly, goo.gl, etc. But other website offer a few bucks by shorting our url and the visitor will see the advertising for a few seconds. Those are adf.ly, linkbucks and coinurl.

Here is their review and pros and cons for each program:

Adf.ly

Adf.ly has been online and paying since May 2009. Which is one reason why they are now on our Elite List. There is no investments or any risk using this site. All you got to lose is your time...

Pros:
Paying with Paypal
Established
Forum
All Countries Accepted
Unlimited Direct Referrals
Fixed Cashout

Cons:
Annoying Ads
Twitter & Traffic Exchange
Views from other Countries

Viewers From other Countries - Countries like Iran, or some Asian countries, might not credit when a link is viewed. If at the time they click on the link there is no ad showing for users from those countries, you will not get credit or earn from that click. Since advertising is purchased and targeted by country. If a advertiser selects US or Canada only then you will only receive credit for those viewers. It is not that site does not support all countries, it is just that there are not enough advertisers requesting viewers to view their ads from those areas.

Adf.ly at this time is a site that is paying and on time. They do not ask for you to upgrade or purchase anything. All you have to lose is your valuable time.

Linkbucks

Concerns & Criticisms

Is it worth it? - Some claim you can make more with submitting your link to others sites like "Digg" and other link providers. I say what can it hurt? It doesn't take much of your time and if you have your link to your site in your signature on forums then why not earn from every click when someone clicks on your link?

Recent Changes  Site has had great growth over the past year, and now it is showing some changes that members are not happy with. The minimum cashout has raised from $5 to $10 due to the number of accounts under audit. At least that is what they are telling everyone. Also rates have decreased recently due to low amount of advertisers. Will see if this decline continues or if the situation improves.

Also be aware that Payza cashouts are going to have a delay. If you use Payza you should know by now that this payment processor is giving people a lot of issues when trying to add funds

We feel LinkBucks is a safe and paying site to use. If you are looking at others ways to make extra money, this would be a great choice. Be careful with how you put your links out there. Don't end up spamming people for the sake of making a fraction of a cent. This program would be great for blogger and web site owners to help pay for their time blogging and other expenses.

Coinurl

CoinURL is a site where users get paid to share shorten links, and display ads on their own web page. Site only uses BitCoin as an option to get paid. So keep that in mind before joining this site. To get an idea of what type of ads they have and what the look like, here are a few examples:

Pros:
Daily Cashouts
Paying (See proofs below)
Forum
All Countries Accepted
Unlimited Direct Referrals
Easy Earnings
Low Minimum Cashout

Cons:
New Site & Sold Recently
Whois Private
BitCoin ONLY

CoinUrl could be something that BitCoin users might want to try out. As of now the site is paying. Will see in the upcoming months if they remain online and paying.
