How do i protect my links and earn money?
Using a link protector is simple, the problem is finding a good one, that is easy to use, really protect your urls, and it's free or even can pay you for using it.Link Protection Websites
First you have the websites to protect your urls or links, this websites usually offer a way to shrink urls, and at the same time protect links from users that want to abuse of them by for example making a copy of your links for any purpose.
At this point we have to separate, normal shrink url websites, or simple link shortener websites, from the real websites that really protect your links. As our article is all about protecting urls or links, we will focus on this feature.
After several hours of looking for the best link protection website, we found some of them that claim they really protect when they only put a mask in front of links, it's true they pay good money for this, but they are not protecting links.
The only website we found that really do the job, is www.linkprotect.com
This service is the ultimate real website to protect your links from abuse, claims and massive copy.
Advantages of Link Protect
Adding urls simple, and works smooth.
You can add urls one by one, or using the multiple url form, or even using their API rest that allows you to protect your links from your own code.
Several Domain Names to Share
They provide several domain names to use, and real nice urls to share, wich names are similar to those of the free hosting companies, so you have something like fileupsonic.com or others like blogexchanger.com between others.
Customized url (domain.com/anythingyouwant)
They also provide urls with customized slug, you can change the hash or code on the url by your own slug, becoming something like: fileupsonic.com/example where example is the slug or word you want to use.
Your own url! (yourdomain.com/anythingyouwant)
Yes! You can use your own url, you put your website, you verify and you can send people to your website where they can see the final links on iframe.
It's a great feature. In my case i had to contact them to start using it and they are strict with this since it can be abused, but it's great!
Great Control Panel to Manage urls and links
You can change urls one by one, or in batch, using the tools provided, you can clone urls, copy them, change them by name, by tag, by word, it's really awesome feature.
You can also use mirror urls, so you can use them in case the main urls doesn't work anymore, just by selecting them and pressing "Use Mirror Urls", the main url goes to the last mirror, and the first mirror becomes the main url.
Captcha for all or just for one of them
You can turn on or off the captchas for all the urls or one by one.
This tool is great for extended protection, the system uses their own anti-flood or anti-abuse catpchas for those using bots and all that, but you can put captchas forced for those links you really want to protect.
Referer Protection (to allow only people from some websites)
You can protect links by using the referrer option, if the people doesn't come from one of the listed websites, they can't see the urls, and they will not be able to see them if they didn't come from one of those websites!
Password Protection
This allows you to protect your links with a password, and if the user doesn't know it, it will not be able to see the links, doesn't matter how hard they try!
Link Protection Plugin (Chrome and Firefox)
 |
| Protect Links selecting text in any website! |
And if all this is not enough to help you working with links, you also have a plugin to protect links on the go. One Url Protection Plugin for Chrome, and one for Firefox.
Chrome Link Protection

Firefox Link Protector
https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/linkprotect-addon/
Using this plugins you'll be able to protect links meanwhile you are working, you go to some website, select some text, then the plugin extracts the urls and protect them, giving you there the urls to use in their place.
And if you are protecting urls in a web form using Firefox, they change your protected urls in the same webform automatically, you don't have to do anything, so if you are publishing some content, and you select some urls, you just click and the urls are protected and those links changed for the final protected url and save them to your account! Awesome!
Earn Money Protecting Links
Yes!, they also pay for using this service. I thought it was a payment style service, but instead they pay you :), it's great even if they only count the converted codes or urls, meaning they only pay you if people it's real and goes to see your links, no bots or passing people. So don't expect to become millonaire with this one, i'm not using it to earn money but for being the awesome tool it is, as i said the only one that protect my links for real.
Some disadvantages are
Their stats are not great, they count hits and hitads, hits are those raw hits from the same user, and hit ads are unique convertion hits, those users that saw your final links. But stats are basic for my taste.
They don't pay too much, but i repeat they should be charging for a service like this, you will understand when you use it.
You can try them at www.linkprotect.com
Hope you give share this and put a link from your blog, i'll be bringing new websites in the next days, so if you are looking to protect links, you'll know you came to right place.
