Hey guys
I just could setup a process to set 96 reccuring tweets using ifttt And tell you what, i shorten my blog url by adfly and set it for my messages and when i cheked the 1st tweet i noticed the shortneed has been changed and as i clicked on it a warning appeared by bitly telling viwers the link is unsafe and spammy and them suggestion anyone who reads the warning to use bitly to be secure. It is an absolute scam, a phishing move by bitly to intrupt and unabling anyone who use adfly to convert traffic to their adfly link providing false information and an act of unfair competition with their competitors. This is a huge crime which few months before google sentenced to the same crime and had to pay tons of money.
Anyway do you have any suggestion how can i undo their warning and viwers dont panic as they click on my link?

Solution: Buy a short domain and make a url shortner for yourself. The script is pretty easy to make, or do some google search..you will get some open source script anyway. Bit ly sucks for affiliate links (or adfly links in your case).. it really does..
 
I doubt the bit.lt will work for that. Search for alternatives, there are quite a few other methods to shorten those.

Do you have any suggestion for adfly altarnative which pays as goog as adfly?

But im trying to count a bit on the revenue of it. If you can suggest a url shortner that does not make truble for me please tell
 
I am using bit.ly to shorten some of my aff links. So far I had no problems. Even on twitter!

Im not using bitly, im using adfly and it is bitly that made trouble for me. Please read
 
Lol, you haven't read what you've wrote yourself by the looks of it.
If you have any problem, knowing meaning of any words that i used please check dictionary.
If you have any grammatical problem, i can not offer any sulution for you in that regard only to practice english grammer more efficently.
Please if you can not undrestand and give a usefull and proper solution do not reply to the thread and make a complaint to op of your non-stillness.
If you have paid more attention the first two replies prove that this thread is completly undrestandable and people are reacting in regard.
Please read more carefully

I totally get it that you want to count every bit of revenue you can. My suggestion is that instead of using bit.ly to shorten your adf ly links, host the shortner yourself. Just buy a 3 letter domain name ( you will find a lot of those in expireddomains.net) and either make a script like bit.ly (if you are aa developer), or use a shortening script such as:

https://github.com/briancray/PHP-URL-Shortener
https://sourceforge.net/projects/shortener/

etc..

By doing this, you kind of ensure that your links will never go bad. I have lost money trusting bit.ly previously. That's why I use custom shortner now a days.
 
Adfly alternative -> flylink.io - they pay well per mille IMO.

Regarding the shortener, buy an own domain (.xyz or whatever) and sign up for Rebrandlycom. They make it very simple to run your own shortener (tutorials on how to set up at your Hoster/DNS).

Alternatively, you could try bit.do - they are more lenient with regards to link targets than Bit.ly. I use them for adult link targets.
 
shortening links yourself will remove that hassle

The problem now becomes, you were posting linkts to bit.ly which millions do. When you start using your own script on your own domain, this previously never before seen URL is now appearing many times across many accounts (potentially). So the potential exists this URL gets footprinted - probably not to start with but eventually, then is just 2+2 to figure out what is going on and ban all accounts that were posting it constantly.
