💡 If you have a social media group, a YouTube channel or a mobile app, you can use our Smart Direct Link to monetize your audience. Inside the Smart Direct Link, there is a URL where your traffic will be sent after users click. Our algorithms behind the link select the best landing page from the advertisers' campaigns that run at Adsterra.

  1. Go to the Direct Links tab and click 'Add Direct Link';

  2. Choose the Direct Link category:

    • If your traffic type is Adult, click 'Adult';

    • If your traffic type is Mainstream, click 'Mainstream'.
      You can also enable Adult ads for your Direct Link to boost your CPM.

  3. Click 'Add'.


Now allow us some time to approve your request. This usually takes just a few minutes, however we'll make sure to keep you updated by email.

Once approved, you can access the link straight from the Direct Links page.

You can add the link anywhere, for example:

  • Call-to-action buttons (Download, Play, Subscribe, etc)

  • Texts (it’s better if they contain a call to action)

  • Full-size images previews

  • Return buttons

  • Images and GIFs

  • JavaScript pop-up forms

  • Subscription buttons

Find out how to add a Direct link to any text, button or image in the following article.
