Links being redirected through AD sites

[tkin]

ok guys, the affiliate the forum is using is this website (oh gosh a website will redirect ads to itself lol) -> Cuelinks - A 2-minute Content Monetization Solution for your website.
It's an Indian service apparently, here is an interview done by a website CueLinks - Effective Content Monetization for Indian Publishers

One question, they just redirect, so they can monitor what people visits, but no ads, so how do they make money?

It might be possible there is shortage of ads now and very soon we will see them soon.

The vid explains Cuelinks - Your Content Monetization Solution - YouTube


I guess we have discussed enough about this.



update: It tracks if you make purchase as shown in the vid and both cuelinks and the link probably earn money when you make purchase(for example if we link to flipkart and someone buys a product, not completely sure with this one)

It works like this, say some user posted a Harddisk link from flipkart and as cuelinks is registered with flipkart, when you visit flipkart with that redirected link a cookie will be created and a certain time range is fixed, and if you make any purchased from flipkart within that window. Flipkart pays cuelinks a percentage of your order amount like 3 or 4 % to cuelinks. cuelinks after deducting there commission will pay remaining to TDF

This I already know, but why do they redirect all links? Why not just affiliate links?
