Review: Linkworth.com
LinkWorth, a text link advertising company, is a competitor of TextLinkAds. They are also a company I use on this very website (as well as others I maintain) LinkWorth bills themselves as a Search Engine Marketing company. Their primary business is selling links on partner/publisher websites.
LinkWorth offers many products in their repertoire:
- LinkAds: LinkAds is the standard text-based ads we’ve all come to know and love. LinkAds, however, is keyword based, as opposed to content-generated like Google and Yahoo. Payouts are based on per-ad basis.
- LinkWords: LinkWords are a keyword-based, dynamically generated advertising system. Each page is scraped, and advertisements are linked to specific keywords within the content. When a visitor mouses over a lnkword keyword, an ad pops up. Payouts are based on CPC (Cost-Per-Click), like Google, Yahoo, Etc… (This program is contextual, and is not compatible with Google, Yahoo, etc… as other LinkWorth programs are.)
- LinkPost: LinkWorth has joined the paid post rage. With LinkPost, advertisers can pay bloggers to post about their products and/or services. Like all paid post systems, the review is entirely up to the blogger.
- LinkedInTxt: LinkedInTxt, at first glance, appears much like LinkWords; however, site owners sell the keyword-based links, themselves. For instance, if you have a strong keyword on your site, say “automotive maintenance”, a buyer can purchase a link from that keyword. You then manually link to the purchasers website from that keyword. Payment is on a per-link basis. Think of this as selling links within content.
- LinkBB: LinkWorth’s answer to billboard ads. A publisher sells a billboard ad on their website. Purchasers will select the keyword, and provide the publisher with an HTML page. The publisher then links the chosen keyword to the HTML page. The advertisement displays as a separate page, but is completely contained on the publisher’s site.
- LinkDir: Publishers pay LinkWorth to submit their website to multiple directories including the famed DMOZ.
- LinkART: Publishers write an article and post it to the LinkWorth system. Once approved (and paid for), LinkWorth will submit the article to mutiple article sites for the publisher.
- Traditional text link ads: Sell traditional text links where the buyer selects the text and link. Like other text link systems, the publisher selects where to place the link, and can offer placement on just the home page, the entire site, or only on specific sub-pages. The traditional way to make money online by selling text links.
LinkWorth is – as I stated before – a competitor of TextLinkAds. LinkWorth has a decided Web1.0 feel to its website, and new members may find it a bit hard to navigate. To be honest, I still get lost from time to time. The LinkWorth dashboard, however, lists everything at a glance, and a very large link at the top of the page appears to alert you of pending links for you to review and approve or decline. The methods for placing ads and links on your website are also quite clunky and old-school. No spiffy AJAX interfaces, or WordPress plugins, here.
LinkWorth is a great marketplace to use instead of – or in addition to – TextLinkAds. Link prices are set entirely by the publisher, and the publisher has complete control over what he (or she) offers on their site. Visit linkworth.com and check them out.
