How to set up a custom domain in ADF.LY

Sometimes the ADFLY links get banned in websites.In facebook adfly links were banned for a long time.So its a tragedy for those who earn money with adfly.So if you have a Domain name registered it is easy to fix this issue.When you set up Adfly with a custom domain even though Adfly is banned in a site, you can post them.You need a domain name and have access to edit the DNS zone file of your domain name.
I'll show you how to do it in GoDaddy.Same steps are for other registrars but it will be a little bit different.

#1.Login to your Go-daddy account.Click on the launch button in front of the Domains section.

#2.Click on the domain name that you wish to setup adfly with.

#3.Click on the "DNS zone file" tab.

#4.Click on the "Add Record" Button.

#5.Choose "Record type" as "CNAME".In the "host" field type any name you want.If you type services and your Domain is www.yourdomain.com the Adfly custom domain will be "www.services.yourdomain.com".In the "Points to" field enter "custom.adf.ly" without quotes.

Click on finish button.

#6.Save your "DNS Zone" File.

#7.Go To your Adfly account > Tools > Domains.(It is at the bottom  of the list)

#8.Click on "Create/Manage Domains" link.

#9.Enter the domain name.If you enter "services" as the host and your domain is "www.yourdomain.com" , enter "services.yourdomain.com" without quotes.

#10.Click on "Add Custom Domain" button.If it says an error and you did all the above correctly,wait for a couple of hours and try it again.It takes time to update the DNS zone file.Try up to 48 hours waiting.It will work. 

Now refresh your adfly account page.Your link is available in the Shrinking Options.
