LinkXL.com is under new leadership. After several months of research, planning and diligence, I have decided to purchase LinkXL.com. I am very excited for the opportunity to work with both publishers and advertisers and initially, I am likely to be the chief point of contact with most of you.
My goal is to make LinkXL.com a mainstream advertising marketplace, where high-quality publishers sell targeted, relevant ads. The team and I are working day and night to continually enhance the site and your user experience.
I plan on using this blog to explain my thoughts on this industry as someone who has viewed it from the outside. I will also have announcements, promotions and other exciting news on here as well.
Feel free to email or call me with any questions, comments or concerns…
All the Best,
Jeff Epstein
While I like to wear an actual tin foil hat at all times… InsideCRM has a great post with 100 virtual tinfoil hat tips for webmasters that are extremely paranoid of Google penalties. The Tinfoil Hat Toolbox tells you how to cover your tracks as your try to make a few dollars on the web.
They offer some great Google safety tips, but the tip that stands out to me is #39:
Buy links under the radar. Put your links in places where they’ll blend in so that even someone looking for a paid link wouldn’t find it.
This is exactly the service that LinkXL provides webmasters. We make it easy for SEOs and webmasters to get natural links in existing content.
It took about a year and a few extra servers but we now offer links in existing content on over one million different pages. It seems we are adding 5 – 10 new publisher sites everyday now due to a great word of mouth campaign. Our publishers have anywhere from one page of content to 50,000 pages of available content and rank from PR8 to PR0. At the rate we are going, 2 million publisher pages will be reached soon.
Remember, LinkXL is all about text link relevance. We believe it is better to spend $100 a month on 30-40 relevant PR0 contextual links than $100 on 1 non-relevant high PR link. If you are an advertiser, it is a very good thing if you can get past your PR obsession and buy low cost relevant links - both your pocket book and site will benefit greatly.
Here is the link to the post about LinkXL on Linux.com - great to have some real world open source people testing out our stuff. It must mean something if they like it…..

I recently received an email from a new user that illustrates the problem with link buying and why it doesn’t work for most people.
His question went something like this: “I searched for my anchor text ****** and I did not find any PR5+ links”
Here is a summary of my response and the LinkXL position on buying links because of PR rather than relevance: Read the rest of this entry »

Interesting that newspaper advertising revenue is being threatened by online advertising. So what is the answer? If you cant beat them- join them! Supplement your ad revenue by selling text link ads- any word on a major newspaper site is up for the taking. Relevant contextual links are being purchased by major retailers with the use of technology from Vibrant Media, LinkXL and other text link publishing networks by major newspapers across the USA - according to a recent Business Week article.
