arif_mahabub Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hello expertsIs there any problem if I mention shorten URL in my gig? which is actually Flickr link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanissocial Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 You can’t link to anything in your gigs. That’s not allowed. Read the ToS.If Fiverr allowed this, people would game the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miiila Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Read the official Fiverr info in their Seller Help Center/FAQ too, there should be a list with allowed URLs somewhere.There’s a search function both in Seller Help Center and forum too. You might not be the first person who ever had this question.Flickr might be on that list, actually but I can’t be bothered to look it up on my phone. You really need to double-check critical info (which might lead to loss of a gig or account) and not rely on something other users on a forum tell you, use the source, it’s out there.Also, info and rules can and do change over time and a user might tell you yes, it’s okay, in best faith, because it was okay when they looked up that info last time, months or years ago, but it might not be okay anymore.I wouldn’t use a shortened link in any case, though, that might look suspicious both to the Fiverr system and to potential buyers. I for one am very wary of clicking shortened links from people I don’t know/trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s connecting your account to another network.You can’t promote anything that’s outside of Fiverr anywhere in Fiverr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miiila Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Well, the question was if it’s allowed. At the present time, apparently it is, according to the Fiverr FAQ, Flickr is on the list:What URLs can I use in my profile or Gig description?The following URLs may be used in your profile or Gig description:ammyy.comblogspot.comdafont.comdailymotion.comflickr.commixcloud.comreverbnation.comsoundcloud.comteamviewer.comtumblr.comvimeo.comwetransfer.comwikipedia.orgwordcounter.netyoutube.comI don’t know why the original link won’t work then. Is the “@” part strictly needed, or would a link without that bit lead to your Flickr profile too? Else, I fear that’s a question only support can answer. Not sure if a shortened link would be fine, I don’t feel like rereading the terms of service to find any info regarding that and I’d ask support anyway to be sure. You could tell them that your regular Flickr link won’t be accepted and add the screenshot and also mention that Flickr is on the list of allowed URLs with a link to the FAQ article that says so, just in case.
