It’s because they make money.
Every time a person skips the ad, the website owner earns money.
And, literally, this is one of the simplest way of earning money.

1.A website.

and, you make money.
And today in this article, I’m to do a review of one of the best URL shorteners that pay you good amount upon monetizing your site with them.
So presenting to you guys,
Shorte.st – one of the ‘most’ trusted URL Shortener service that allows you to monetize the website and make you more money. And in this Shorte.st review, I’d tell you guys about what Shorte.st is, how it functions, their payout rates, and some more information on how to leverage it at max.
Shorte.st is an advertising network that basically runs on basis of links distributed on the internet.
It provides a wide range of monetizing method allowing webmasters to replace the traditional banner ads and monetize the links as well as the image in the website.
Fascinatingly you can still make money by just sharing links in social media. You can run ad campaign or just share links on social media of something viral stuff, and see the income rolling.
Shorte.st has a real-time tracking system allowing you to track instantly whenever people click on the links.
This feature is somewhat essential for sometime what happens few shorterners don’t have the real time tracking system so it be really confusing stuff.
Website Monetization Tool:
Starting with one of the most interesting feature of Shorte.st is it’s “website monetization” tool. What it does is it gives you set of filters to configure and accordingly you’d be presented with a code.Upon getting it added in the site, it would automatically monetize all the links and images of your website and you can see the earning in no time.
Here’s what the option are:
1. Links: This allows you to monetize whole of your website. If you ‘Include” links, for example google.com you want to get monetized ever time user goes to that particular website from your website then Google.com would be monetized however no other links would be monetized.Only the one you specified.If you “Exclude” urls then it would monetize all the links of your website only leaving those which you’ve specified not to be monetized. For example, if you don’t want to get the links of your own website to be monetized and only outgoing links then you can just type “yourdomain.com” and it would monetize the rest leaving your specified domain.
2. Entries: Personally, I don’t like these kind of ads as they’re quite annoying. However as an webmaster, it makes more money. So it’s a good method of displaying ads to even those who don’t click on any ads in your website.These kind of ads you can occasionally see in download and entertainment niche.You can configure “Trigger Type” over there. What it means is when you want to show the ad, is that just as the person enters (On Entry) or is it when the person clicks anywhere in the site (On Click). In “Timeout”, you can set to least possible to quickly show the ad and make you money.
3. Exits: Well, this is one of the best feature of Short.st. What it does is, whenever a user intent to leave your site (i.e. the shortener calculates in precise milliseconds that user is about to click the “Go Back” button) and show ad and you make money. Simple. This is something you can say “Bounce Rate Monetization”.
4. Pop Ads: If you’ve this configured, then whenever a user lands on your site a pop advertisement would open in new browser window that would be hidden inside the current tab so they won’t really be much annoyed with this one.
