To begin with, let’s explain all the what and how.
What are Smart Direct Links?
How does Smart Direct Link work and make you money?
We say that it’s a simple URL, but how do you monetize your traffic? First, it is an intellectual link. You can put it on a web page, and when a user clicks on it, the link will take them to one of the advertising pages. There are thousands of ads behind; our smart algorithm will only choose those that have high CPM and high relevance to your traffic.
Let’s do it step by step:
1.A user comes to your website, landing page or social network account.
2.They click the Smart Direct Link.
3. Users are redirected to one of several relevant advertising offers (or landing pages).
4.You get paid for ad views (CPM) or targeted actions (CPA).
Finally, you make money just like popunder ads. In addition, you can use Links as a complementary tool together with Popunder ads or Social bar that increase CPM .
Who and how to use Adsterra Smart Direct Link?
A universal tool, Link is used widely by publishers who don’t have any website and want to monetize their social traffic (TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube) or by those who want to make money from mobile app traffic.
Publishers who have websites generally use the Popunder ad format because it shows impressive CPM and revenue rates. But they can also add Links, to get the combo effect of paid ads.
Whether you’re going to be leveraging social traffic or web views, it’s important to get clear instructions on how to get the ad code. Let’s continue with this now.

Where to place the Smart Direct Link?
Links are suitable for all platforms and CMS, and placing them is as easy as adding a block of text to a blog post. Here are some general instructions for placing code snippets into HTML pages, WordPress websites, and Blogger (Blogspot) pages.
HTML pages and websites
Since Links are URLs, you only need to use the standard “<a>”
<a href=\"your direct link URL\">link text</a>
And here’s how to make any website image/GIF earn you money:
<a href=\"your direct link URL\"> <img src=\"https://adsterra.com/_nuxt/img/logo_extended.fddf2fa.svg\" alt=\"Adsterra\"> </a>
Another way is to create a button and add a Link to it:
<button onclick=\"window.location.href=\'your direct link URL\';\"> Click Here </button>
See three ways to place Adsterra Smart Direct Links in HTML pages.
WordPress Page
The principle is the same as with a simple HTML page, but we’ll examine some of the standard WordPress editor tools.
First, select any post or page and click Edit from your Admin panel.
When you open a post, select a piece of text, a button, an image and press the icon or press Ctrl+K (Windows). Paste the code snippet from Adsterra and select “open in new tab” and “don’t follow”. The “no-follow” parameter is for search bots, it prohibits them from following links and indexing them. It’s better to add this option to all ad links.
Blogger page (Blogspot).
Monetizing Blogger website with Smart Direct Link is also quite easy. You can add ad units to text, images, GIFs and buttons.
Open a page or post and select a phrase in the text. Click the icon and paste the code you got from Adsterra earlier.
Social media accounts and mobile apps
In mobile apps, the flow is universal: place links anywhere visible and clickable: text, images, custom banners, etc. However, be careful not to add links to the main navigation buttons or get too close to them, otherwise you\’ll get a lot of tedious and accidental clicks. People will get annoyed and close the ad. This will indicate that your traffic is generating a lot of fake actions and the CPM rate will decrease.
Monetizing social traffic requires more effort. If you are increasing revenue with white hat tactics, you will need intermediate pages to attract your followers. And there on this page, you will place the Direct Link! You can\’t put third-party links in your Instagram bio or TikTok profile; it can result in a ban.

How much does Smart Direct Link pay?
The CPM and payout you get with Smart Direct Links depends on a few learning factors that you can manage your revenue for.
Publishers who excel at driving quality traffic can generate around $5-6K weekly. But this is more likely to happen with social traffic from Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Sometimes, publishers share insights on how to make money, as in a case study made $11K in 11 days.
Some publishers focus on the specific traffic showing up on their website. Their earnings are also higher.
There are key aspects about your traffic that you should consider when monetizing with Smart Direct Links.
Top 4 factors affecting your Smart Direct Link monetization:
1. Traffic Quality
At Adsterra, quality comes before quantity. Average time on page, bounce rate, number of pages per session — these are important metrics for estimating your traffic. Even with below 1000 users daily it is possible to make $300-500 in 5 days if the traffic converts well on CPA campaigns.
But if you get traffic from bot farms or using other artificial means the CPM will be zero.
2.GEO and the type of traffic you send us
For years, desktop traffic was the king of payments. But the growing internet and mobile apps, coupled with the 2020 lockdown, are pushing mobile ad serving forward. Today, you can enjoy $25, $45, $75 CPM for, say, Android mobile users of social networks.
IOS traffic has traditionally been more expensive, but on Adsterra, Android seems to be closing this gap. Some advertisers are running VPN, Utilities, Cleaner and Booster campaigns targeting Android users.
Users from Tier-1 countries (US, UK, AU) are always at the top of demand. But hopefully that never stops you because you can harvest bigger payouts with South African (ZA) or Korean (KR) traffic.
3. Volume Traffic
Of course, the number of impressions is very important if you intend to significantly increase your revenue. Building your traffic muscle will always be your No1 priority, so be sure to check out our dedicated blog post series on SEO and Traffic Boost.
4. Your niche
Not every website visitor will receive advertisements. Even if your blog has a large readership, users may react negatively to, say, popunders. It’s better to run tests before placing a large amount of ad code.
Benefits of Smart Direct Main Link Monetization for Publishers
- Put a link anywhere on a web page.
- Every user gets the best offer among users with the highest CPM.
- Ads blend seamlessly with other Adsterra formats.
- You can earn more if you allow niche ads.
- Smart Direct Links are a great way to start monetizing, even with a one-page website or without one.
What do publishers want to know about Smart Direct Link monetization?
Are Smart Direct Links compatible with any website?
In general, that’s true.
However, if your audience is sensitive to ads, it\’s best to use a less invasive format like an in-page push (Social Bar) format.
If you are blogging in a specific niche, say, religion or parenthood, Direct Links would not be the best solution because user expectations are narrowed down to this one topic.
You should be careful about adding Smart Direct Links to navigation buttons and avoid misleading your users.
How does Adsterra calculate my CPM for Direct Links?
We run 50% of ad campaigns at CPM prices and 50% at CPA prices. That is, we consider the number of ad impressions and subsequent conversions. Therefore, the more conversions your users make, the higher your eCPM will be. But if you\’re streaming huge traffic with few conversions, you can also receive high CPM rates that win based on traffic volume.
Should I buy and drive traffic to Direct Links?
You see, this is a short term story, and you have to be a skilled digital marketer to profit from it. Sending paid traffic to Smart Direct Links is a great idea if you are good at buying traffic and building high-converting landing pages. This method is mostly for affiliate marketers and publishers who are prepared to balance costs and profits.
If you decide to buy traffic, please contact the Adsterra maintainers first. They will recommend which traffic you should buy to get maximum profit with Smart Direct Link. Our Support team is online 24/7 on live chat.
What happens after the user clicks the link?
Once a user clicks on a text, image or button with a Smart Direct Link, they will be redirected to the ad page. More than 20 thousand ad campaigns are playing on Adsterra simultaneously, but the algorithm selects the one that best matches your traffic.
Can I make my own banner or pop-up and put Adsterra Smart Direct Link on it?
Of course! It’s a good idea to be skilled at creating attractive images and pop-up windows. Alternatively, you can check this guide for adding images to websites.
Also, some publishers whose CMS does not allow to place ad scripts, use this trick. They design static banners with headers and images and attach links to them.
Can I choose which ad offers my viewers will see after they click?
You can always contact the Adsterra maintainers and ask to exclude ad types that you think are irrelevant.
From your account, when adding a new website, you can also use the ad type filter to disable unwanted ads.
Can Adsterra Direct Link be combined with other ads?
Of course. You can get one code for each ad format available on Adsterra. Putting everything on one page is not a bright idea — ad overload is a well-known website monetization mistake; it scares your visitors in the blink of an eye.
To combine ad formats, you are totally free to combine Smart Direct Link with:
