How to create your own custom domain on Adf.ly

adf.ly is an advertising network in the form of CPM (Cost per Mile) that serves advertisers with every impression they use. Over time, more than 1 million people are registered to earn a few dollars by sharing a shortened link that is more or less called (Earn Money By Shorten Long URL). Members need to share the shortened link and share it with friends / forums / social media, and users passing the link need to wait 5 seconds and then a banner will appear SKIP ready to click.

Of course, the visitor’s interest in going through the created link has its own variations, as if the adfly site belongs to the website administrator who shortened the url beforehand. This allows the adf.ly URL to be easily converted into a site URL (subdomain) or a direct domain.

Adfly created functions custom domain after a version change in late 2012 and this feature is often used by website administrators on subdomain locations. Only by changing the entry in the DNS, which can be edited directly via the domain provider or via a hosting that supports cPanel. Check out the good way below.!

  1. First, log into the website adf.ly.

  2. Next, please go to the hosting / domain provider. Make sure that if you are using a domain provider you have to use it DNS. And for cPanel hosting users, please click the menu Simple DNS editor.

  3. Then please add a CNAME record and fill it in as follows:

    sub.domain.tld.
    custom.adf.ly

    2 fields are filled out. The first column is filled with the format as above, please replace sub (subdomain) and domain.tld accordingly and must end with a character Point. Please fill in the second column exactly as above.

  4. If 2 fields have been filled in, please click Add a record. And now all you have to do is enter the Adfly domain list that is on this page http://adf.ly/publisher/tools#tools-domains.

  5. Enter the domain according to the procedure provided by adfly on this page. When the domain has been entered, please wait a few minutes for the DNS process to run. Then try to create a new URL in the Adfly dashboard and the link given is a new domain, then just access it and, if it works, share it directly with friends / forums / social media.

This means that the Adfly URL shortening page can be accessed via your own domain and designed like your own site. This method is very easy if you have ever used the DNS function of the domain you are using because you can understand the records that are present, so some of the above methods can be well understood.

The advantage of this method is that you can share links to social media such as: tweetbecause Twitter is blocking URLs from Adfly for some reason, but if you are using a custom domain it will not be recognized. And to share the link go to Facebook, can still be recognized as Facebook can read entries from any DNS and will soon be blocked.

Creating links to add variety to your website is a creation and all website owners can try this method to make that creation easier and make money

Hopefully useful and good luck
