    Hi,
    I have been a member of linkworth for a while and so far I have one person who consistenly each month pays for a text link on one of my sites. I mean I can understand as it is a autosurf site so alot of "fake" traffic as in traffic from other autosurfs...

    I only ask for the min. $10 per month so I am happy as it pays the bills a long with the other adnetworks I run on the site.

    But my question is how many others of you are using linkworth and how is your experience with them.. how many advertises how much cash.. My PR was PR5 but now gone down to PR3.

    Drew.

    I run one linkworth ad (text link) on a PR5 page (heavy traffic), they pay me, advertiser happy, me happy.

    They do not send you a lot of advertisers or maybe my price is too high, but when they do send you one, they DO pay.

    And you decline requests, very handy too, I only want ads that are related on my pages, so both advertiser and visitors will gain, and that way , I will gain as well.

    it took me over 6 months to get a offer but then my site which it is on was only added 2 months before it got an offer, i think it depends on how hard the advertisers are look and what stats your site has.

    according to my account overview at linkworth:
    General Information

    Select a Payment Method: [US Business Check | Paypal | Direct Deposit | Wire Transfer]

    so paypal seems to be one of the options, may be it's new, never tried it myself though

    I've been on linkworth for about 3 weeks, and got two offers this weekend. One for a PR3 site and one for a PR4 site - both $20. Had to turn down one because it was for prescription drugs and against google TOS :(

    I'm debating joining their preferred partners program because they give you preference when they are managing their clients accounts... 50% commission though. Has anyone done this???

    My payout for August will be $244.00 and for next month it is shaping up to be $320.00

    That is a very nice little bonus.

    Linkworth has been a very good extra source of income and it helps that it keeps track of everything for you.

    My only gripes is that I get "link removed" e-mails every few days and that is really starting to piss me off. This morning I got "link removed" e-mails 7 different times and the links have always been there. Seems like they may have a flaw in the system that checks the links. They say it will send that if your site has an outage but I got e-mails this morning in regards to 5 of my sites and 7 different links and none of the sites were down within the last 4 days.

    If they could get that fixed I would have no complaints.

    Yes, I am a preffered partner. I noticed linkworth jacked up the cost of each link when I signed up. Looks like they are confident they can get more advertisers if they get to take 50%.

    The links you already have are grandfathered so the 50% only goes for new links. I felt I was kind of at a limit with the next months income so I became a preffered partner to see if it would open new doors.

    We'll see what happens.
