Text link or Banner....??

Hi, Which one do you think is better???

Text link with anchor point

or

Banner with Alt tag

???

I think banner is better for traffic and text link is better for SERP....

Am I thinking right???

Thanks in advance

 

I think link with anchor, and description below it, is better for both.

 

I think if you are looking for conversions than a great banner is the way to go. This depends a great deal of course on the site which it is placed.

If SEO is your only concern (and its a fairly unrelated site) then anchor text is the way to go with a description if possible.

Cheers

 

Thanks for your helps....

So I think I will go by text links....

Too much work = So tired....

 

It will never be the same..

 

Hi,

If you have a limited budget and don't know exactly where is the targeted traffic, just go for text links that help your search engine rankings, so much more valuable in the long run.

 

Thanks everyone...
What will be the best way to find link partners??? without spending money....I'm a college student and have limited budget....

Do you guys had any experience with linkmarket.net??
please share with me...

Thanks in advance....
and Happy new year everyone...

 

I use linkmarket and there are many good link opportunities. But there are also sites that will put your link very deep, say 5 links from the main page, you have to see where they put links before you agree onn a link exchange.

 

If you want lots of text links at no cost, try the co-op from Digital Point (who hosts this forum). Just go to their homepage and click on Co-op Ad Network and sign up. I got so many free links to my site, which really improved my search engine rankings more than anything else.

You can sign up with my link (http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/?s=424), or just go there directly.

Keep us posted!

I already am a member of co-op and have about 6k weight,,,Which doesn't get many links sofar...

Thanks!

 

It may actually do more than you think...sometimes it takes a while before they show up in the directories. I use the free tool by Marketleap to monitor my backlinks (www.marketlink.com/publinkpop/), and they check the major engines. You can also measure yourself against competitors and others in your industry. How long ago did you start in the co-op?

Hrmm I'm obviously still a newbie and a tad confused... what exacly is a 6k weight?

 

When you sign up in the co-op, it measures your site's contribution to the network by assigning it a weight (calculated by your PageRank, the number of pages indexed in G, and how many ads you display for the co-op).

You can see what others have relative to yours by visiting the Co-op's forum here...there's really a broad range of numbers. The higher your weight, the more text ads you get to have on other sites.

I hope that makes sense,

I had marginal luck with the coop ad program with my site - maybe I should have looked into it further rather than canceling... hmm... seems as though its working well for many.

 

linkmarket.net is REAL GOOD. I would try to gte both the text link and the banner link, if possible. Text link going to a different page and the banner going to somewhere else.

 

IMHO banner links are almost useless (in terms of serps position)
