Link shortener for
paid ads & PPC campaigns
Bot-user-agent blocking catches the obvious stuff. It doesn't catch a click farm cycling through real browsers, or a script quietly hammering your ad link within the same hour. Truthylink flags repeat-click and click-burst patterns — plus VPN, proxy, hosting, and Tor traffic — at click-time, before it's ever counted as a real click. Not in a report you read after the budget's already spent.
Free on every plan — not a paid add-on.
Bot & fraud filter
Flagged before it counts, not after
Every click on a Truthylink link is checked the moment it happens — not batched into an after-the-fact fraud report. A flagged click is recorded for your own audit trail, but excluded from the numbers you actually report on, from the very first click.

What you see in Truthylink
Real-time fraud check
Every click screened as it happens — not in a weekly report
Everything a paid-ads campaign needs in a link tool
Repeat-click flagging
The same network clicking a link again within an hour is flagged, not counted as a fresh visitor — catches shared networks and VPN users hammering the same ad link.
Click-burst fraud detection
5+ clicks from the same network on one link within an hour reads as a click-farm signature, not organic traffic — flagged automatically, no configuration needed.
VPN, proxy & Tor detection
Optional IP reputation lookup classifies traffic as VPN, hosting, or Tor exit-node — flagged separately from real clicks so datacenter traffic never inflates your numbers.
Custom branded slugs
Readable slugs (e.g. /summer-promo) that look intentional in ad creatives, landing pages, and print — not a generic redirect service.
QR codes on every link
Every short link generates a downloadable QR code automatically — useful for OOH, print, and packaging tie-ins to the same campaign.
Link expiry & max clicks
Set a campaign link to stop working after a date or a click count — no manual cleanup, and no dead promo links left live after the offer ends.
Custom branded domains
Pro+Run campaign links on your own domain instead of a shared shortener domain — matches how your brand already shows up everywhere else in the campaign.
Per-campaign click analytics
Tag a link by channel or campaign variant and see clicks broken out per tag, on every plan — no extra UTM plumbing required.
A typical paid-ads workflow
Create a branded link for the campaign
Use a custom slug tied to the campaign name, ready to drop into ad creatives, landing pages, and print QR codes.
Run the campaign across channels
The same link works in search ads, social ads, and offline QR placements — one link, one dashboard, instead of a separate tool per channel.
Fraud checks run on every click, automatically
Repeat-click, click-burst, and VPN/proxy/Tor checks run the moment a click happens — no setup, on every plan including Free.
Flagged clicks are recorded, not counted
A fraud-flagged click stays visible in your audit trail, but it's excluded from the click totals and rates you actually report on.
Set expiry or a max-click cap
Cap the link to the campaign's budget or end date, so it stops resolving on its own once the promotion is over.
Report real numbers, not inflated ones
The click rate you share internally or with a client reflects real traffic — not repeat hits from the same network or proxy noise.
Stop paying for clicks that were never real
