    www txtswap com
    Ran across this site by accident today. You put text links on your site in exchange for your link to be put on other sites. For every 3 clicks on your site, your link gets shown until clicked twice. Supposedly :)

    Have any of you seen it/used it? I guess the 3:2 ratio allows them to sell the extra click (like they say on the site 14cents per click). Anyway, what do you think?
    (Maybe a dumbed down version of the ad network :D )

    The only issue with txtswap is that the text link is generated with javascript so it will not count as a backlink. But could be effective depending on what you are advertising.

    So yeah a very watered down ad network.

    Yea I've seen it but it's next to useless as another member said as the links aren't true links...they're javascript.

    I'm yet to see another linking scheme link the coop ad network.

    I visited the Business category and the javascript links are returning 500 server errors. Not to mention the sites listed there don't have much of any content to offer; too many free hosted home business sites.

    I tried txtswap for a year and never recieved one click, based on my site stats. in fact, the most distinct number of ads my own site displayed from them was 8 over that year.
