Ouo.io provides three very important tools to publishers such as mass shrinker, quick link and full page script. Each of these tools can save you a lot of time if you are having a website with lots of links.

Mass Shrinker: As the name suggest, you can shrink your links in bulk. All you have to do is to enter each URL in a line and then click “Submit” button.

Quick Link: This tool allows you to shrink your url just by appending your original URL to the below url.

Full Page Script: This tool allows you to change your links to Ouo.io short links if you have more than 100 or 1000 links in your website. You will need to add a simple script which will do your job easy.

Minimum Payout:

With Ouo.io, you don’t have to worry about higher minimum payouts. You will get paid as long as your minimum balance is $5. Ouo.io automatically processes the payments on 1st and 15th of every month via PayPal and Payza. If in any case you don’t make $5 minimum balance, then your existing available balance will be carried to the next payment cycle.

Referral Program:

With Ouo.io, you can also make money using referral program. You can refer your friends, family or your visitors to earn a 20% commission for lifetime. It provides various banners ad formats that you can use for referral income.

How does it work:

When the visitor clicks on your shortened link, there goes a two step process where they have to first click on a Captcha shown below to go to their destination page.

Once the visitor submit the Captcha, they are taken to the following page where they get the actual link to the destination page.

They click on the “Get Link” button and are taken to the destination page. Ouo.io works with Popunders and hence I believe it is better than the services which offer Interstitial ads.
