I think linkworth is using a flawed analysis of inbound links. It uses alta vista in the amount of incoming links; which counts your internal pages as backlinks, which it really shouldn't - I could make a million page site and become a "monster" in linkworth's evaluation. I'm not sure on pricing, but based upon their calculation tool; I'd be wary to sign up, especially if I didn't know how the incoming links were calculated (ie how many from google, how many from alta vista, etc) or what site I was on.
Couldn't resist to drop the affiliate ID eh joey? Tut tut :sigh: But yes, I wrote a brief article about them in my blog - good service... Had several emails between me and the support team there, which weren't writted by a machine - which is nice. RE the analysis of inbound links. That isn't how they value the site. For the most part, you can charge what you want for links, they just have a system in place that gives a good estimation as to the worth of the site... And as far as I know, they look at SERP's, not links. Either way - it's more accurate to use AV for links than Google. Aside form that though. I'd reccommend them.
have you bought links thru them? can you give me an example site that the links are put on? I'm curious about it; but I hate overpaying for inbound links and that is what most of the brokers do
I can't post an example of the sites that partner, as that would be unethical, I can tell you however, that some of my sites are going to be advertising is there, and a number of other sites in there are also pretty good looking and seem to get reasonable traffic, and/or PR. The pricing doesn't seem to high - starts off at about $20 for a home page link, which I don't think is unreasonable. Obviously, It depends on the site.
As a linkworth publisher, do you have the ability to approve/reject any link that an advertiser attempts to place on your site? I was just browsing through some of their publisher sites and put off by the number of pharm links I was seeing.
I joined Textlinkads and Linkworth (as preferred parther 50:50 share). In fact I expected a fast response from Textlinkads and had no hope of getting a link from Linkworth. But within 2 days I received 1 ad link for approval for my Home Page ($100) from Linkworth. So I will get $50 share. Today I received an offer whether any of our inventories are willing to display poker ads. Still no response from Textlinkads. I have a popular website with good Alexa ranking and a decent amount of unique visitors per day. I am extremely happy with Linkworth. Hope to hear from Textlinkads too. Heard that it takes nearly 3 months to get an ad from Textlinkads. Hope to make 1K per month from Linkads. Much better option than Google Adsense to monetize websites.
Yeah i have some idea about Linkworth where the bloggers are paid for writing reviews about websites, products and services. I so far have written 2 reviews for linkworth and have been able to make some money of it.
Mm, can a visitor tell that you are a LinkWorth publisher - do they give you any ad of their own? (I'm asking, because I heard there's a threat of G penalizing you if they detect that you are selling links..)
