SCAM SITE

I do not recommend using the page.

When trying to withdraw approximately €150, on the day it should arrive, they suspend my account (according to them it is because I had another account than this ban).

In conclusion, they kept all my money without any message without the possibility of recovering it.

Tried to dowload a virus on my PC

I don't use this website for revenue, I was just trying to download a minecraft texture pack. please note that this was voted one of the tops for MC bedrock, and the pack is very trusted. when I went to the download page, my computer flashed a red screen and told me that people were going to try and hack my PC, so it took me back. I refreshed, and then my antivirus popped up with a sus connection blocked notification. I tried one more time, and the little icon in the searchbar told me that the website was dangerous. I cant believe you. horrible.

Adf.ly was better. Why merge?

When I was a teenager, I used adf.ly to make some money from my YouTube videos. In the past, I created Adf.ly links for downloads that would be beneficial to my audience. But after a year of being unbanned for no apparent reason, I discovered that adf.ly is no longer a website and has changed to Linkvertise. Since being unbanned, not one of my download links is now showing up in my account, and viewers who click the links will no longer be able to download anything from Megafire or Mega.nz. It's extremely frustrating because now I can't earn money from my links, and my audience can't download the content I provided them with. If they can fix my query by giving me my links back into my account, I will delete my review or edit the review.

Update:
All my links transferred, but I'm pretty sure they are broken, which is frustrating. I miss the old Adf.ly website. I don't know why you merged with Linkvertise, and I'm sure I'm not the only one with the same opinion. Bring back ADF.LY!

Hi Les,
thank you for your message!

The reason that your links were not shown in your account was/is: Your links will automatically appear in the statistics as soon as at least one click has been recorded. If they don't generate clicks on Adfly, they won't be shown on Linkvertise. But as soon as this happens, you will see them in your Linkvertise account. :)

We hope that you will like it with us and are open for any questions and suggestions.

Not good for people from Adfly

I have no experience with Linkvertise prior to them taking over Adfly. I had been using Adfly and earned $3.11 with them. Well I signed in Adfly one day and it asked me to convert my account over to Linkvertise which I did successfully. All of sudden, my blog stopped earning money so I talked with the person who set up my Adfly account and they explained that Linkvertise is not compatible with my blog. I decided to change advertising companies and have the person remove the Adfly turned Linkvertise ads from my blog and close my Linkvertise account thinking they would give me the $3.11 I earned since I earned it before they even came into the picture, but they are absolutely refusing to give me my money. That’s bad business practices. Just because Linkvertise took over Adfly doesn’t automatically obligate me to comply with Linkvertise policies I knew nothing about. Now they’re saying that the payment threshold is $10. My account is going to be closed. When a customer closes their account, they should get their money they earned.

Also, in response to the company’s reply to this review on August 2, 2023, I did email them back so they could further investigate the issue and they replied back to me today August 7, 2023 stating that they can not give me the $3.11 I earned from Adfly because Linkvertise has a $10 minimum withdrawal amount. Again I replied to them today August 7, 2023 that it’s not fair that someone requests to close their account and they just keep the money that they earned. Again, I had to leave Linkvertise because it’s not compatible with my website I’ve had since Adfly. It wasn’t by choice. Please don’t use this company. I lost out and you will too.

Linkvertise used to be great but now…

Linkvertise used to be great but now they are focusing on "Dynamic Links" which forces the user to download apps which is not user friendly and terrible.

Turning on Dynamic Links will make your rates higher sure, but it would lead to people having a terrible experience with your links and will never click again.

Beware of RPM (and no payment)

Well hard to tell linkvertise is bad... that's good, if you have stable subscribers. But problems is RPM. At first, I have about $25-26, then drop to $16-$18 after 1 month (still okay). Recent week is $11... oh well still good. But today got $4 :)
I dont know what happened. Since Im teacher and I still teach the same children from the same class, so that not be issues from my end. I think I may need to switch to other platform for resource sharing if RPM still down like this for days
Hope linkvertise team is here. I like your link system, your payout mechanism and dont want to leave. But RPM at $4 is worst I have ever seen

Last update: Take care then. After some months working well they suspended my account because of invalid traffic. Community the same so that's strange. Been upset with them but I think they will get what they give.
Will move to another provider and see how that goes. Stay away from them.

Thank you

Hey there!
We do not steal your revenue.
It seems, that you tried to betray our system with botting clicks or through multiple copyright violations. We only ban people if our system triggered a suspicious activity and a manual overview on the account found the same evidence. Please consider, that we also lose money when banning someone, as the recurring revenue would be a lot higher than just holding a one time payment.

So the fact that you had several accounts was not the reason.
