Link shortener featured image

 In this article I'll compare some url shortener to make money from website or links.

A spread way to earn money from internet is shortening link.
As Wikipedia explains, "URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web in which a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) may be made substantially shorter and still direct to the required page."
Let's make an example to better understand what is.
Suppose you want to share a link with your public: "www.example.com".
Instead of this, with link shortening services you can generate and use an alias, let's suppose "www.abcd.net". When people will click on "www.abcd.net" they will be redirected firstly to an intermediate page (usually an ad page) and then to your selected page "www.example.com". This means that you will be paid for these clicks.
An effective example is the folowing link, which points to my homepage peppe8o.com by clicking here.
Usually rates are defined on 1000 views basis and depends on user country. Another earning channel with link shortener services is their referral program, which help you to have some extra earnings when you introduce someone to subscribe their service (for example, with the following link you can use my referral program).

Following list shows best link shortener services that I've found in last months. My favourite are adf.ly and shorte.st: even if their rates start from smaller amounts, I've found them more stable (other link shortener services appeared and disappeared in a few years) and reliable.
