@Jessie594

For the first part of your inquiry as to if Google will penalize you due to the inbound links from AdFly this won't cause any issues as Google can not see traffic coming into your site. In addition even if Google could see the traffic coming in Google doesn't care if you get high amount of traffic to your site, only if you are performing blackhat SEO techniques.

As for the second part of it where you talk in the comments about your AdSense there is no issue with traffic coming into your site triggering an increase in your AdSense revenue. At the end of the day what this other entity is doing with paying for advertising for your site is outside of your control and only serves to increase traffic to your site which can be considered a plus.
