Bots and other malicious traffic are becoming a bigger and bigger problem on the internet. There are more bot netorks out there than ever before and they are becoming more sophisticated every year. By removing bot traffic from your link clicks you will a) improve the quality of your traffic, leading to better SEO and search engine rankings, and b) filter out zero-value bot clicks from your link analytics.
We convert your link to a secure shortlink which will look something like this: https://sbit.ly/sOmEcOdE. When you share this link and a user clicks it, they are faced with a state of the art reCAPTCHA challenge to verify that they are a real person. Only if they pass this test are they automatically forwarded to your destintation url. A bot would simply not be able to pass this test and thus would be prevented from going to your destination url.
Instead of creating accounts for users and charging them for premium services, we instead run an ad-only revenue model. We thus keep the entire service 100% free for all users. We fully intend to keep it this way forever.
Yes, absolutely. We use the latest technology and follow our stringent privacy policy to prevent our users from coming to any harm or data loss.
