I want to sell links, but I do not want to be punished by google. I'm only willing to sell links if it's okay for me to use the nofollow tag. Does anyone know of a good link service that allows for publishers to use the nofollow tag?
Yes you will get punished. One of my PR4 sites dropped to PR2 because of text link ads. I sold the damn site already. Doubt google will restore it.
"Yes you will get punished. One of my PR4 sites dropped to PR2 because of text link ads." Were you using nofollow tags on that site? That's #%#% if you got punished despite using no follow tags. On googles support site it says it's okay to sell links if you use nofollow tags. "Not all paid links violate our guidelines. Buying and selling links is a normal part of the economy of the web when done for advertising purposes, and not for manipulation of search results. Links purchased for advertising should be designated as such. This can be done in several ways, such as: Adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to the <a> tag Redirecting the links to an intermediate page that is blocked from search engines with a robots.txt file" http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66736&query=selling+links&topic=&type=
It looks like linkworth lets you sell links with a no follow tag. But, you would probably get paid more if you added the no follow tags yourself. Although, that probably isn't honest.
text-link-ads doesn't allow you to use nofollow links. The best way to do it would be to go to the Link Sales section of Digital Point, and sell your links there... just be sure to specify that the links will be nofollow.... you won't be able to get nearly the amount of money as you would for dofollow links.
