Public standards

Link Safety and Editorial Standards

PocoLink is a link management tool, but it is also a public web service. These standards explain what we allow, what we remove, how users can report abuse, and how we keep our informational pages useful instead of thin or misleading.

Allowed use

Sharing your own websites, product pages, articles, social profiles, videos, podcasts, files, event pages, and support pages.
Creating descriptive short links and QR codes for newsletters, printed materials, social posts, and internal team workflows.
Using analytics to understand aggregate clicks, devices, countries, cities, browsers, referrers, and timing.

Not allowed

Phishing pages, credential collection, malware, unwanted downloads, fake login screens, or impersonation of another brand.
Copyright-infringing content, illegal content, scams, deceptive financial offers, spam campaigns, or misleading redirects.
Links that hide the real destination with the intent to trick users, bypass platform rules, or evade abuse detection.

How we review abuse

Reported links are checked for destination safety, misleading titles or aliases, and whether the link violates our Terms.
Clearly harmful links are disabled. Borderline links may be temporarily paused while we ask the creator for context.
Repeat abuse can lead to account suspension and removal of related links.

Redirect Flow

How a PocoLink click is handled

A short link resolves to the destination chosen by the creator. For supported services, PocoLink may attempt an app-aware route so the destination opens in the native app when possible. If the app route fails, the web destination remains the fallback. The redirect is not a content page and does not carry AdSense inventory.

Destination clarity

A good short link should make sense in context. We recommend custom aliases that describe the destination, such as /pricing-guide or /spring-menu, instead of vague names.

No ad-first redirects

PocoLink redirect pages are for moving the user to the intended destination. We do not place AdSense ads on redirect pages, private dashboards, link creation screens, or password prompts.

Privacy-respecting analytics

We derive approximate location from the click request, then store aggregate analytics. We do not sell clicker data or build advertising profiles on people who click links.

Human support channel

Anyone can report a suspicious PocoLink by emailing pocolink1@gmail.com with the short URL and a short explanation of the concern.

Report a suspicious link

Send the short URL, the destination you saw, and why it looks suspicious. Reports about phishing, malware, impersonation, scams, or copyrighted content get priority review.

Email abuse report

Publisher responsibility

Link creators are responsible for the destinations they shorten. We ask creators to use accurate aliases, avoid misleading claims, keep destination pages live, and comply with our Terms of Service.

Our public guides, API docs, privacy policy, and blog are written to explain how link management works in practice. They are not scraped content, placeholder pages, or pages built only to show ads.
