Do you know what is Safelink? For download website owners, of course, this is familiar. In contrast to those who have websites with news or information topics, which they very rarely use.
As we all know, a blog is a website that is managed by the author and contains personal experiences, observations, and opinions. In Indonesia itself, there are lots of bloggers with creative and interesting content. Some of them even build blogs or websites as viewing media like movies and songs.
Unlike blogs or websites that provide information media, websites with viewing media earn income in a different way. The way they earn their income is by taking advantage of Safelink.
Then what is Safelink? To find out more, please refer to the following discussion.
Introduction to Safelink
Safelink means a blog or transit page that is deliberately made for various purposes. One of them is to encrypt link destination urls, scan various malware on link urls, and increase the main blog's revenue through advertising media.
The working system of this Safelink is to shorten the link of a website, then it will direct someone to a website containing advertisements. This of course will increase the number of clicks on website advertisements so that revenue will also increase.
Safelink working system
Safelink itself works by manipulating the destination url on the main blog and then redirecting it to an advertising page. On this Safelink page there is an advertisement which is generally in the form of a button that will direct visitors to the destination url. Each time the button is clicked by the user, the website owner will get one ad click.
This system generally utilizes two blogs, namely the main blog and the advertising blog. The main blog is intended to attract many visitors, while the Safelink blog aims to place advertisements.
For example like the image above where the main blog contains a download link that visitors want. When they click the download link, they will be directed to the Safelink blog. On the blog there is also a button that contains advertisements and will direct visitors to the original website.
How can Safelink increase earnings?
As explained above, the working system of Safelink is to embed advertisements in buttons to go to the original url. These ads are usually quite stubborn so visitors will definitely click on them.
Different from advertisements on ordinary blogs which do require special action, otherwise it is very rare for these ads to be clicked. At least there is a significant comparison of the advertising revenue of the two blogs which is around 6-10% higher clicks on the Safelink blog.
Is Safelink safe for Adsense?
As you know and also explained in the discussion above that Safelink uses an ad manipulation system. Of course, as a blog user who expects ad revenue from Adsense, of course, you will ask whether this is safe?
Based on common knowledge, many bloggers think that such an advertising system is prone to being banned. But that's not entirely true and also not entirely wrong. It all depends on how you utilize Safelink.
If you use it for a movie download website where the majority of visitors have a lot, of course this won't be too much of a problem. The case is different if you use it as a place to download illegal or crack software. Usually it will be more prone to be banned.
