Not going with TextLinkBrokers
by Sapphire (April 30, 2007)
I recently applied to TextLinkBrokers, who takes only "quality" sites and has a screening process in place. They came back at me with an offer. On two of my sites, they would offer links at a lower price than TLA or LinkWorth gives me. On a third site, they would sell links if and only if I got rid of some of my outbound links and kept the main page to under 20 outbound links, including theirs.
Since relevant, visitor-welcomed outbound links were never a bad thing until Google’s algo began its world domination, I have to conclude TextLinkBrokers are basically selling pagerank. They’re concerned not only that their clients get links from a good site, but that they not have to share the PR with too many others. As I said last week, I’m avoiding companies that pay that much attention to pagerank because pagerank is Google’s playground, and it’s not my idea of long range planning to be dependent on something that didn’t used to exist, may someday stop being public, and can be "tweaked" any way Google sees fit at any time.

I am going to give LinkWorth a try, I haven’t tried them yet. Thanks for the feedback. I have some up but I need to add them to more blogs…
Gotta love that mile long to-do-list

I’m really liking LinkWorth, and I think the potential is there for it to surpass TLA for me (which Empress seems to feel it does, too). I’ll post more by the end of the week.
Yes, that to-do list. I’ve been so busy with Ideas of the Moment lately, I’ve forgotten all about mine.
