Another name for this monetization tool is Direct Link. The main advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/what-is-a-smartlink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smart links<\/a> is that they contain multiple high-paying offers inside. Literally, lots of links in just one URL.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does it work, then? It&#8217;s nothing but a URL that you can place almost anywhere, which implies you can place it behind any creative made by yourself. &nbsp;You may have encountered direct links before, by clicking on such buttons as \u201cSkip to content\u201d or \u201cDownload video.&#8221; <br><br>As soon as a user clicks the link, the system starts the automatic selection of the most proper advertising campaign and leads a user to the landing page. Taking into account the vast base of Adsterra advertisers and smoothly running optimization process that means you get 100% fill rate. This method is fairly known as one of the most flexible solutions to monetize any kind of traffic. Surely it\u2019s widely used by website owners, but we are about to share a few tips on how to monetize traffic even having no website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Monetize Traffic Like a Pro with Adsterra&#039;s Direct Link.

Then, you can paste the web page&#8217;s URL to any Facebook post (paid or organic) or even add it to your comments and sharings. You can do the same with any social network you choose. Easy as a pie, isn\u2019t it?
