I wonder if its really worth trying text-link-ads.com ... is it anyway bad for site ?? i mean any chance of loosing pr or somethin concering search engine ? do they pay or some sorta gimmik ? .. please put some light on this topic/site .
I have listed around 10 PR5/6 websites with them, yet to receive 1 sale and $1. It's been over 3 months since the sites are listed with them, and yes, they are all pre 404 update PR's.
I listed a couple sites last week, just got my first sale a few minutes ago! So, so far so good for me.
I've bought some links from them. They have had good customer support for me so far. As for referrals, I get literally no traffic from the links (I used their custom bid proposal). I emailed asking about this and they said that the links I bought were more geared towards improving my rankings on the search engines, and that a few months down the line I should see the results. Sure hope it's true. So far I've gained around 1000 backlinks in yahoo and a few hundred in msn from it, but I've yet to rank for anything in yahoo(msn I ranked near the top anyway for my main keywords.. at least till the last update), as for google who knows how many links I've gained. It's only been 3 weeks or so though. Guess I'd be careful what links you buy if you're looking for traffic from them. Maybe go with some high traffic blogs that are related to your website, I hear they give some traffic. As for penalty, I think what google has really said is that there will be no penalty if they find links that are bought(kind of silly to penalize that). You just may receive no PR value for them. Keep in mind the whole presumption is that the links from textlinksads supposedly leave no footprint. I'll post back when a little more time has gone by with my campaign with them.
They are a great company to buy from. The only drawback is that they take a 50% cut on the links sold so the buyer pays more and the seller gets less. Having said that their system is great and you can see all the sites before you order. Its not their responsibility as to how well the links perform - you can see exactly what you get before you pay. As with any link purchase check the sites alexa rank, PR, backlinks and number of indexed pages before you buy.
I have sold 1 text link on my site for two months now. So I am pretty happy with them. Now if I could only fill those other spaces then I would really be smiling.
I have one site with them and sold 3 textlinks for the last 3 months. They pay in time but the links that are displayed are rather general. I´d recommend them to everyone as a bonus to adsense / yahoo earnings.
I've purchased, sold, and affiliated for them. They seem to be a quality company and have a really good reputation. I would have no worries doing business with them one way or another.
they approved on of my site the 1st day .. but no links yet .. wonder how long they need .. been almost week .
One of my sites was approved immediately as well, since their script is mostly automated. However, it had been 2 months with no links when I decided to remove the javascript and cancel my inventory with them for that particular site.
