Do Text Link Ads get clicked?
June 20th, 2009
Surprisingly enough, text link ads have quite a high click rate, when compared to other means of advertising such as graphic banners.

You are now aware of the potential benefits, as well as the disadvantages of text link ads. If you think that purchasing these links is immoral, or a waste of time, then it will be one task less, to go on your site to-do list.

The popularity and Reputation of a Link
June 20th, 2009
When ranking a page, search engines will evaluate the amount of inbound links to a Web page. In doing so, the search engine will place more importance on quality rather than quantity. Your link might be found on every sponsored website, however the major search engines which are Google and Yahoo!, will not see the overabundance of your link as an advantage. In order to try to bypass this problem, some site owners are actually changing the wording of their links. This however should not be considered as a long term solution, since this technique is going to be worked out very soon.
The link buying trend has started since Google has decided to stiffen its algorithm to dig out links between sites that are totally unrelated. Most websites unfortunately, have these types of links, and this implies that millions of websites are now facing problems because of Google’s idea. Sites that belong to big companies and corporations will have links that comes from authority sites, so the only tactic through which small websites could compete, is by buying links on these sites.
Another recent occurrence has however given these smaller sites a bit of a boost – blogs. Blogs have been quite successful recently, and this success may be in pert due to Google’s recent algorithm. Google is in fact currently talking with MSN and Yahoo! about this issue. In the meantime until a solution is found, blogs have become an effective means for spammers. Next on the line of attack for spammers, will probably be text link ads.
