Text Link Ads


If you're running a blog and still struggling to get traffic to come to your site, it might be worth giving Text Link Ads a try.

Right now they have a promotion where they're giving you $100 free with an order of $125 or more. Now I realize that, even with the promotion, that is a good chunk of money but I personally think that the pay-off could be huge.

Let's look at why. First of all buying a text link ad is an advertisement, somewhere on the page that you pay for, a link to your site will appear. So in the most basic form you'll get some traffic to your site just from people clicking on your link ad.

But, more importantly, buying a text link can increase your credibility in the eyes of the search engines. And as we all know it never hurts to make Google and Yahoo happy. The key to this is that your link must use good anchor text, which contains keywords that you want people searching on Google to find your site. For example, one of my other site's FreshTrend.com is targeted toward unique gift ideas and is a shopping blog.

So I could buy a Text Link Ad that looks like: FreshTrend.

But why would I do that when instead I could buy: Shopping Blog of Unique Gift Ideas.

See what I mean? Now you're showing the search engines that this link goes to a page that is a "shopping blog" and has "unique gift ideas". Much more effective than just using your site's name.

Anywho, if you're serious about growing traffic to your site then Text Link Ads is definitely worth a try, plus you get an extra $100 to experiment with.
