Screenshots and Pictures

One way of increasing clicks is to give a preview of the information you are going to be directing users too.  And one of the best ways of doing this is with screenshots and pictures.

Screenshots

If you want to pass out information via blogs or forums you can paste an AdFly link with a description, but one eye catching way of grabbing someone’s attention is to “prove” the extra information exists by providing a screenshot.

Screenshots can obtained using all PCs, Macs and even Smartphones.  If you don’t know how to do this, then take some time to learn.

Post your screenshots and have any click on them link (via AdFly) to the correct page.

I’ve found using screenshots rather than just links has massively increased the number of clicks I can get on a post.

Pictures

i've found one of the best ways to get extra clicks is to give the low-resolution version of a picture away for free and the high-resolution picture.

This technique does not require you to hide your AdFly link on forums/Facebook or get in trouble for posting paid shortening links on forums/Facebook.

Steps:

1. Create two versions of your picture (1 in high-resolution and one in low-resolution)
2. Upload the high-resolution picture to an image hosting site (Facebook or Flickr for example) and create an AdFly for the url.
3. On the low-resolution picture embed the link (make the picture clickable if posting on a forum) or write the link url somewhere on the picture (at the bottom but make it clear) with a comment saying follow this url for a high-resolution picture.
4. Post the low resolution picture on forums/facebook/flickr/wherever.

I’ve never had an image removed for following this methodology.  The trick is to make sure the low-resolution image is clear enough for people to make out what it is, but not high enough to make the high-resolution image redundant.

And if you don’t want to use low-resolution and high-resolution pictures, you can create a “watermark” on your pictures or screenshots - having the words “to remove this watermarks visit “your AdFly”.  This can be a little more tricky and require more time, but equally as rewarding.

If you are posting useful or good quality pictures most people are willing to click to see the higher resolution.  This is particularly true of pictures that are of celebrities or funny images, but make sure never to use “adult” or ”pornographic” images that are banned by AdFly users.
