I'm toying with an idea...and was curious... How much would you pay for a text link spot (above the fold in a prominent placement) that rotates with between 50 and 100 links? Explain your pick if you'd like, and please if you pick no explain why.
Only if there was traffic and a no-follow on it. I really don't like rotating links, for SEO reasons.
It would have to be primarily for click through reasons and not for SEO. If it got clicks then I would pay. Probably not much though if there are 100 other links in rotation.
Can't vote because you missed my option. I would not pay but instead ask your for money if you want my link rotationg in your site since I would consider you would benefit with my pagerank everytime you display it
rotating text links? well i can understand about banners so im not sure on this one, if i had to go i'd say i wouldnt even buy one, doesnt always look great
I could do that But it'd be a bit more than $6 lol lol...i guess so far this brilliant idea I thought I had isn't very brilliant...
Maybe if the site was in a 5,000+ uniques a day, but other than that no. A rotating text link is just a smaller, less noticeable banner ad. For SEO purposes it's worthless, so the only thing that would redeem it would be high traffic + low cost.
wow this is an idea I posted in YE forum, just today http://www.youngentrepreneur.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18734 so far one person said no
Of course people would pay. However it should be considered an advertisement (for traffic) and properly no-followed as mdvaldosta already mentioned. Same as putting your banner on some other website in some rotation. Basically payment would be calculated according to the number of impressions and not fixed per monthly basis. If the site were on topic and the link in a prominent location I would certainly have no trouble paying $1 CPM (if only one link is shown at a time). So if my link shows 10k times per month thats $10.
Gosh everyone...thanks for killing my spirit ...lol....j/k... guess i'll definately be waiting a while to do this type of thing...guess it's just back to normal link selling for me for a while..lol
I don't get it. Many people said they would pay for it. I would also pay for a TV commercial if I'd think it would bring me a certain amount of visitors, even though its worthless for SEO.
the majority of people said they wouldn't pay for it... and at the moment...calculating what some people said they'd be willing to buy one...i'd make more money if i just sold regular links
