Taking your iDevice to max
Hello everyone!
Since most of you reading this might be aware of adf.ly, this is a site which again pays you by putting ads on the links your audience clicks. So i was thinking can i/we use this to supplement our earning?
A post that says why we shoudn't use it -
"The short answer : Don't do this.
The long answer :
* read the adsense program policies, especially the sections on 'traffic sources' and 'site behaviour'. You will see that Google frowns on sites that "interfere with normal site navigation", that is, sites that hinder users from doing exactly what they want.
Your suggestion would produce a site that slows me down when I want to leave your site to go to another. If you do this, you will probably find
* Google Adsense will eventually stop serving ads on that domain, or disable your account altogether
* Users will become irritated with your site, making them less likely to bookmark it, search for it, blog about it.
* First-time users who have seen those ads before will see them on your site, and have an immediate negative impression of it. They will be hesitant to click any link, lowering your CTR for adsense, and lowering the 'stickiness' of your site. "
So this was a post by some top contributor in productforums.
But some youtubers with big enough audiencce have been using adf.ly along with adsense for a VERY long time. I've seen many while watching videos but i forgot most of their names. But one of them is-
/user/RavenProDesign
(Go to his site and try to download any template, you'll be redirected to a adf.ly ad before download)
So here's my question again. So is it allowed to use adf.ly along with adsense, not linking websites but only DOWNLOADS. They promise to pay $4 per 1000 views and i get 1000-1500 view/day s for my overall downloads. So i'm just thinking, because it will have a HUGE impact on my earnings.Anyone can help here?

? So do you also mean that it isn't against Adsense policy? Thanks for responding
