No Interstitial Ads. No Data Sales. Just Short Links
When someone clicks a short link, they should land where the link says they are going.
That should be the whole experience.
No ad page. No countdown. No strange stop in the middle. No page that makes your visitor wonder if they clicked the wrong thing.
At T.LY, we do not show interstitial ads during redirects. We also do not sell visitor data.
That is not a side note for us. It is part of the product.
Short links should not get in the way
A short link has one main job: get someone to the right place quickly.
If a customer clicks a product link, they should land on the product page. If someone scans a QR code on a flyer, they should see the page they expected. If your team shares a campaign link, the click should feel clean and trustworthy.
Interstitial ads break that trust.
They slow people down. They make links feel less reliable. They add friction at the exact moment someone is ready to take action.
T.LY links redirect directly to the destination URL. No forced ad pages. No waiting screens. No extra step inserted between your audience and your content.
If you ever want to inspect a short link before opening it, you can run it through the Link Expander first.
We do not sell visitor data
Link analytics are useful.
You should be able to see how your links perform, where traffic is coming from, and which campaigns are working. That is a normal part of running marketing, sales, support, and internal workflows.
But there is a clear line between giving customers useful analytics and turning visitors into a product.
T.LY is built to serve our customers. We do not sell visitor data to third-party data buyers.
Your links are yours. Your audience is yours. The data created around those clicks should help you understand performance, not create another hidden revenue stream at your visitors' expense.
Reliable redirects matter
A URL shortener sits in a sensitive place.
It becomes part of your email campaigns, social posts, QR codes, customer support replies, product launches, internal docs, and everyday sharing. If the redirect is slow, cluttered, or unpredictable, people notice.
Usually at the worst possible time.
That is why we care so much about keeping redirects fast and direct. The best short link is the one people do not have to think about. It just works.
What T.LY is committed to
We keep this simple:
- No interstitial ad pages during redirects.
- No selling visitor data.
- Fast, direct links that point where you expect.
- A reliable service built around customers, not distractions.
Short links should make sharing easier. They should not add friction, confusion, or privacy concerns.
That is the standard we are building for at T.LY.
