About AdLinkFly – Monetized URL Shortener 6.3.0

AdLinkFly is a monetized URL shortener. You run your own short-link service: people paste long links, get short ones, and you earn from the ads shown to visitors before they reach the destination. The store lists it under Business, but it is a standalone PHP application, not a WordPress plugin.

Despite the older listing, you don't install it from the WordPress Plugins screen. It is set up on a web host as its own site, usually on its own domain or subdomain. Server installation generally means uploading the files, creating a MySQL database and running the web installer. Follow the documentation in the package for the exact steps.

The file on record is version 6.3.0 and dates from September 2020. The listing doesn't state which PHP version it needs or which payment and ad options are included, so check the documentation and test on a staging host first.

Requirements

Web hosting with PHP and a MySQL database (check the documentation in the package for exact versions)
A domain or subdomain for the shortener

Key features

URL shortening service: Turns long links into short ones on your own domain.
Monetized links: Built around showing ads to visitors on the way to the destination, so the short links can earn money.
Standalone PHP application: Runs as its own site on your server, separate from WordPress.
Web installer: Like most PHP scripts, it is set up on a MySQL database through an installer in the browser.
Your own branded domain: Short links use your domain, so the service looks like yours.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

People who want to start their own ad-supported link shortener
Webmasters comfortable with hosting, domains and a database

Look elsewhere if

Anyone who wants a WordPress plugin to shorten links inside an existing site
Site owners who need a ready-made, hosted service with no server work

How to install AdLinkFly – Monetized URL Shortener 6.3.0

Notes for this product

This is not installed through the WordPress Plugins screen. Upload it to your host, create a database and run the installer described in the package documentation.

Setup: using AdLinkFly – Monetized URL Shortener 6.3.0

Prepare a domain and database. Point a domain or subdomain at your host and create an empty MySQL database with a user.
Upload the files. Extract the package and upload the application files to the web root of that domain.
Run the web installer. Open the domain in a browser and enter the database details when the installer asks.
Configure the site settings. Log in as admin, set the site name and ad options, and add the payment details the documentation describes.
Create and test a short link. Shorten a test URL, open it in a private window and check the ad page and redirect.

Common problems and fixes

The installer shows a database connection error

Why it happens: The database name, user, password or host entered doesn't match the one created on your server.
How to fix it: Re-check the details in your hosting panel and confirm the user has rights on that database.

Short links return a 404 error

Why it happens: URL rewriting isn't active, so the web server doesn't route the short links to the application.
How to fix it: Make sure the rewrite module is enabled and the hidden rewrite file from the package was uploaded.
