I'm sure some of you may know of this, but aren't sharing, well check this site out where you can sell links for the price of ZERO(none) Since I already have an account with iWebTools forums, I was set to go and entered a few details of my link and the page is up within a minute. (I notice i forgot to set the price..lol) Link Market
On first impressions it looks like a great resource. Thanks for the find. I just hope its busy enough to actually sell decent links.
He is actually talking about spamming since the profile pages you get when you sell your links are SE-friendly. The idea is to "sell links" for $0 so nobody can buy them, and in return get a page like this http://www.iwebtool.com/link_market/view/976/ with a permanent link to your website.
I see. I didn't know about the spamming. I hope they will keep up with what's going on. They put nofollow tag, that's why they aren't maintaining well?
Any website where links are sold and exposes the link inventory in plain view it is bound to get noticed by the big G and the sites selling links there will most likely lose their link strength at some point.
I would think so, but do you know how G would find that? Hypothetical statements are easy to be said. Having said that in case they have a way to do, I have suggested advertisers that they can put their link as an option in my forum.
It's not that hard to find the link marketplaces that are currently available to link buyers, there aren't that many anyways. They have a web spam department that can easilly find all them in one hour tops by manual searching and then just keep an eye on them algorithmically. Bust yes you are right I am only guessing here.
I think it's Matt Cutts who mentioned that G could find links that are sold on a site so that G could not either pass the points for PR or reduce the value. But I believe he was talking about sold links at the footer on a site that got irrelevant links. So, I assume posting a link on a market place such as iwebtool and here at DP is ok. Well, probably it may not be ok in the future. So ultimately, I agree with you to be careful on placing text link ad.
