You don’t necessarily mean link shorteners, but ad redirects, and in my experience It’s not worth it for a variety of reasons (unless you’re linking to pirated material that will create thousands of clicks, in which case clicks add up).
Some of those redirects have virus infested ads and popups, some are excessive, but virtually all of them reward you with the teeniest, tiniest fraction of currency. As noted above, unless you’re getting A LOT of traffic you’re better off doing surveys to earn money.
Oh cool thanks, yeah I already do surveys from time to time and that’s worthwhile, I just clicked my own link and I got 0.0012 dollars. I might keep on doing this for it to add up…eventually
Yeah I’ll never disable my adblockers just so I can follow whatever it is anyone linked. I’ll just move on and spend my time elsewhere. Those things are always at best fishy.
What’s the minimum claim unit though? $10, $50 or perhaps even $100? Given you usually need unique hits you’re going to be waiting a long time for a payout.
in any call, , i believe i recall reading somewhere/sometime on the forum, Chrono don’t allow/don’t want link shorteners used “here”, only the pure/raw link (iirc)
I think there was also something regarding not doing any kind of advertisement, etc.
@Agzer, these things work, they often link to the appropriate place, but manage to pop-up a ton of unwanted materials along the way, often malware and the like that poses threats to your personal computer and private information. I don’t trust them at all…
And I can’t pay that much attention if it is a weird number (I like rounded numbers, typically involving a 0 or a 5). Note that the screenshot that shows us the screenshot has a nice 85% battery life.
I used some stuff like that back when I was in the less legal PSP scene (don’t snitch y’all) and never got more than a few dollars over months. It’s just an inconvenience for everyone involved.
