💡 If you have a social media group, a YouTube channel or a mobile app, you can use our Smartlink to monetize your audience. Inside the Smarlink, 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 Smartlinks tab and click 'Add Smartlink';

  2. Choose the Smartlink 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 Smartlink 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 Smartlinks 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 Smartlink to any text, button or image in the following article.

Accessing and Managing Smartlinks

On the Smartlinks page, you can:

  • Find and copy the Smartlinks by clicking 'Copy Link':

  • Navigate to the Smartlink's statistics:

  • Rename the Smartlink by clicking 'Edit':

❗️ Note that if you do not use any Smartlink for more than 14 days, it becomes inactive. You can always reactivate it on the Smartlinks page by clicking 'Resubmit':

Also note that there's no technical opportunity to delete an already added Smartlink.

No worries though, if you do not use it, it won't affect anything.

Turning your Smartlink's Statistics off

If you no longer want to see Statistics of any Smartlink, simply click on More next to its name and then click 'Turn Statistics Off':
