LinkSpy is an Ad Server for Url Shorteners that helps to increase earnings from shorteners. It allows to use many shorteners on a single website and in a result it will assure more paid views, better rates and more money.

You already know what LinkSpy is, you want to earn more but you are still hesitating if it really works? Don't worry, we are aware that LinkSpy is something new on the shorteners market and it can bring some doubts to new users. But why not try it?

Just test it, you have nothing to lose but everything to gain!

Easy steps to test LinkSpy on your website:

  1. Create LinkSpy's account
  2. Link at least 3 Url Shorteners
    We advise to use at least 3 shorteners but depending on your traffic volume you can use more of them. If you don't know what is the best amount of shorteners for your website you should read the article: How many Url Shorteners should I link to LinkSpy?
  3. Use Full Page Script for website integration
    Full Page Script is the easiest and fastest way to integrate website with LinkSpy. You can also create short links one by one and put them on your website but we don't recommend this option.Placing only few links from LinkSpy won't use its potential fully. LinkSpy monetizes many views from a single user (unique IP) so it is crucial to handle all links with LinkSpy. Otherwise you won't see any difference.

    After few days of testing LinkSpy, please compare your results from shorteners you used for it with statistics from single shortener that you used before. The sum of paid views and earnings should be higher than before.

How many Url Shorteners should I link to LinkSpy?



If you are reading this article you probably already know that LinkSpy is an ad server for Url Shorteners that allows you to increase your earnings. LinkSpy rotates your users between Url Shorteners to ensure more paid views and better rates so you are obligated to add few shorteners to use it. LinkSpy supports over a dozen of Url Shorteners and also allows to add Custom Shorteners. 

Let's go to the point, 

How many Url Shorteners should you use in LinkSpy?


LinkSpy recommends to use at least 3 shorteners because this is an absolute minimum to see any progress in earnings. If you want to get better results you should use more shorteners but you have to adjust their amount to your traffic  volume. 

Adding many Url Shorteners will affect the frequency of your payouts because your traffic and money are divided between shorteners. If you have little traffic and you will use too many shorteners it can cause a situation in which you will have to wait few months for the withdrawal.

If you previously used single Url Shortener you can easily define the optimal amount of shorteners basing on monthly paid views counted by single shorteners. Please check the table below and decide what is the best option for you.

Montly paid view Shorteners no.
< 20000 3
20000 - 30000 4
30000 - 50000 5
50000 - 100000 6-8
100000 - 200000 8-12
more then 200000 12 - max

Note: the data above is only a suggestion, you can try different configurations and decide what is best for you.

We also recommend to use Traffic Optimizer, it will show how many shorteners can utilize your traffic and which shorteners have the highest rates for your users countries. Optimizer needs at least 1000 views to calculate the data.

  • no AdBlock
  • unique IP
    • within the publisher account or
    • within the whole shortener
  • go through all the pages to destination url
    • solve the captcha
    • wait a certain amount of time
    • etc
When using LinkSpy you know exactly how much traffic you sent to each shortener. You can check which shorteners have the best conversion (number of views sent to views counted) and use them for higher earnings.

LinkSpy doesn't make any withdrawals. LinkSpy rotates your traffic between Url Shorteners that you have linked to your account, so you are paid by these shorteners.
