First LinkWorth sale & thoughts on paid links
by Sapphire (April 24, 2007)
Within a couple of hours of my sites getting approved for link sales at LinkWorth, I sold my first link. It went for $40 on the B-2 Bomber - which was the upper limit LinkWorth’s price quote recommended, and is about $15 more than TLA charges for those links. Of course, with LinkWorth, people are getting a little text blurb so that may be worth a few bucks as well.
Whatever. Good for me, good for the client, good for LinkWorth.
Also, LinkWorth accepts sites that don’t have pagerank yet. TLA doesn’t. Which is a huge bonus for me, since maybe I can get new sites monetized more quickly.
The more I think about this whole Google paid link issue, the more I’m realizing something. To me, pagerank is just a metric for something that was always important - inbounds, site age, etc. But to some companies, it’s the only way they attempt to measure site value, and when they’re ad brokers, that is selling pagerank. LinkWorth has other metrics in place to value your site - not only does this make you less dependent on page rank, it seems to be fetching me a higher price so far.
