Bitly now shows ads on your free links
Since February 2025, Bitly has been inserting interstitial ad pages before redirecting visitors on free-tier links. That means every person who clicks one of your links sees an ad page first — slowing them down, hurting your brand, and reducing click-through rates.
If you rely on short links for marketing, social media, or customer communication, these ads directly undermine your efforts.
