Why is there a difference in statistics between LinkSpy and Url Shortener?

LinkSpy shows number of all views (redirections) sent to Url Shortener's landing page. However, for each shortener to be counted, user has to fulfil additional requirements. Rules can differ in each shortener but most often they are:

  • no VPN / Proxy traffic
  • 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.

How can I withdraw the money?

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.

What are the payment options?

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

What is the difference between Total Views and Unique Views?

Unique views - sum of views generated by users with unique IPs, it can also be translated as a sum of unique users.

Total views - sum of all views.

Example:
If each of 3 users makes 5 views, you will get 3 unique views and 15 total views.

Why Url Shortener doesn't count my views?

Each shortener has some rules that have to be fulfiled to count the user, they can be:

  • no VPN / Proxy traffic
  • 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
If you have any doubts about views counting you should contact the Url Shortener directly and ask why your views are not counted.

Is PTC traffic allowed?

No.

Is Faucet traffic allowed?

No.

How to use LinkSpy on my website?

The easiest and the fastest way is to use Full Page Script from Tools section. You just have to put the JS code just before </body> tag. 
You can configure which domains should be included or excluded by the script.
If you were using Full Page Script from any of url shorteners you should remove it and keep only LinkSpy's code.
