Text Link Info

Last time, I talked about how Google has waged war against the text link market. It wasn’t pretty but some people were able to profit on the whole deal. I surmise, from now on, the text link market would be conducted underground. Despite not being apparent, there’s no denying that you can’t fool Google. If you don’t believe that after their last PR update because you haven’t been affected despite having done things right under their nose, then you must be a genius.

Anyhow, for the rest of us lower mortals, practicing due diligence is what’s best. If ever you decide to buy text links in the future, you must put more thought into it than before unless you really don’t care about your PageRank. Here are a few things to help you out:

1. The Text Surrounding the Text Links

Take a look at the web site where the link is to be placed. If the text links are put under “Sponsored” or “Paid” links, don’t buy one. However, due to recent event, I very much doubt any web master would still be openly proclaiming they sell text links.

2. Choosing the Niche

In many web master forums, there are those who’d still openly sell text links. While some would sell at a higher price due to the law of supply and demand, there are those who’d cash in on the market via what we can call mass production. In short, they’re selling text links dirt cheap to attract as many customers as they can. And as expected, many would jump at the opportunity. Before you jump on it however, take a look at the web site first. If your text link is going to be put in a mish-mash of porn and online gambling links, then it’s no use.

In the end, you might have to spend a decent amount of money to find quality text links sold in niches related to yours. But hey, for some people, it’s better to spend what they have rather than lose brownie points with Google and there’s nothing wrong with that.
