The Evolution of Text Link Ads
In various SEO Blogs and forums there has been much discussion about Google’s efforts to spot paid text links. Many SEOs believe Google already has technology in place that helps them spot text link ads so they don’t count them in their search engine ranking algorithm.
At LinkXL we knew this day was coming for some time. So instead of complaining, we created a solution. After all, how hard is it to spot a block of text links in the sidebar or footer of a website? Think about it; you may be spending $100s or $1,000s of dollars on traditional paid text link ads that are doing nothing for your rankings.
If you’re a seller, the value of your links will continue to decline as more and more text link advertisers realize they are wasting their advertising dollars on your website.
Today, the only text link ad that is sure to help you is one that is in the middle of relevant text. Face it; the days of buying a link at the bottom of a PR8 page and making it to the front page for your keywords are long gone.
LinkXL is taking contextual text link ads to a new level. We have developed a patent-pending system which allows webmasters to buy and sell text link ads directly in existing content. Need the keyword “Money” linking to your website from within another site’s existing content? With LinkXL, all you need to do is log in and search on “money”. You’ll get a list of existing web pages that already have your targeted keyword in their content. Look through the results and add the links you want to your shopping cart, once you complete the purchase the keyword “money” will be converted into a real HTML text link pointing to your website.
Unlike other sites that do JavaScript in context links that do not help your link popularity at all, LinkXL creates HTML text links that the search engines follow and count in their ranking algorithms. Since LinkXL in content links are normal links in the middle of content they will not trip the search engines “Paid Link Filters”.
LinkXL text links are natural links in the body of pre-existing content. This is what the search engines want instead of clumps of unrelated links in the footer of a website. If you want to buy or sell links, you no longer need to risk being identified as a link buyer or seller. Because with LinkXL the links you buy and sell are real links in the middle of search engine indexed content.
Because text link ads cut into Google’s advertising revenue, they sure to be spending more time hunting down link buyers and sellers, so it is clear that natural HTML contextual links are the next step in the evolution of paid link advertising.
Sellers win because they can sell useful links across thousands of their web pages, easily turning a $100 a month web site into $1,000 a month website. Buyers win because they get links that actually work. The Search engines win because they get links that are worth using in their ranking algorithms.
