How to Set a Default Redirect for your Domain on Linkly
Linkly allows you to use the naked domain (i.e. yourdomain.com) as a Linkly link too.
How to set up a default redirect for your domain
Attach a domain
Follow the instructions for attaching a domain if you haven't already attached one.
Go to Domains and click Set in the Catch-all column.
On the Domains page, find your domain and look for the Catch-all column on the right. If no default redirect has been set, you will see a Set button — click it to open the new link form pre-filled with your domain.
Fill in the Destination field.
This is where you want your domain to go to when it doesn't match another Linkly link on your workspace. This might be your website, for example.
You can change this later.
Save the link.
The domain and path (/) are already filled in for you. Just click Save Link to create the default redirect.
Test it out
When you visit your attached domain, you will be redirected to this link automatically.
This also applies to any other 'not found' URLs on your domain.

Why is traffic to this link so high?
