The Basics
Linkedy is a traffic exchange network built on a simple principle: 1:1 exchange. When you send one visitor to a partner site, you earn one credit. When you receive one visitor from a partner, it costs one credit. It's that simple.
Step-by-Step Guide
Sign Up & Get Approved
Create your account and submit your application. We review all applications to ensure quality publishers. Tell us about your website, traffic volume, and content. Approval usually takes 24-48 hours.
Add Your Website
Once approved, add your website(s) to your profile. Upload logos, verify ownership by adding our widget code, and configure your article sharing preferences (automatic RSS feed or manual selection).
Connect with Publishers
Browse our network of approved publishers. Send link requests to websites in your niche or with similar audiences. Once they accept, you can start exchanging traffic.
Install the Widget
Add our simple JavaScript widget to your website. It displays recommended articles from your network partners. The widget is responsive, fast, and looks great on all devices.
Start Exchanging Traffic
When visitors click on articles in your widget, you earn credits. Those credits automatically bring traffic back to your site from your partners. The more you send, the more you receive!
Understanding the Credit System
Earning Credits
You earn 1 credit each time a visitor clicks on an article in your widget and visits a partner site. Credits are added to your balance immediately.
- Each valid click = +1 credit
- Invalid/bot clicks don't count
- Credits never expire
Using Credits
You spend 1 credit each time a partner sends a visitor to your site. Your articles appear in partner widgets proportionally to your credit balance.
- Each visitor received = -1 credit
- Negative balance is okay (small threshold)
- Balance automatically equalizes
Traffic Quality & Validation
We validate every click to ensure you're receiving real, quality traffic. Here's what we check:
Screen & Viewport
Valid screen size and viewport (filters headless browsers)
Bot Detection
Filters out known bots, crawlers, and automated traffic
Browser Version
Enforces minimum browser versions to filter outdated/fake browsers
Storage Support
Verifies browser supports local storage (real browsers do)
IP Blocking
Blocks known bad IPs and data center ranges
User Agent
Validates user agent strings for authenticity

Can I control which partners I connect with?
Absolutely! You choose which publishers to connect with. Send link requests to sites you want to partner with, and they must accept before traffic exchange begins.
