Making money from links

By: Rui Augusto, Wed Nov 1st, 2006

There are a lot of ways to earn money form your website on the internet. Each one has its pros and cons. One of the things you must keep in mind is that you should not became to dependent of only one affiliate program or pay per click network. Traffic and quality content are key factors to achieve income from your website. The more traffic your website will have more likely you are going to earn money.
Your SEO strategy should include doing some link building. Search engines use their algorithms to determine the strength of your site, this includes the amount of links going to your site, and these are seen as a "vote" of how valued your site is. Links from similar themed websites drive high quality traffic. The number of links to a specific site is very important for search engines. Link popularity's one of the deciding factors for your site to rank well or not. The anchor text, the quantity of links and the quality of links is analyzed by some major search engines like Google. Free for all links exchanges are one example of low quality links and one should avoid that.
One of the best methods for link building is to purchase links for high quality websites who are selling advertising space. There are some tips you should keep in mind when buying links like: buy relevancy not page rank; Use you top keywords to anchor text; Link to a consistent site page; buy links from a variety of IP networks; Buy links from a variety of page rank sites; Keep your links long enough to have good results.
The link-text advertising model has eased the process of link building. Text Link Ads is the premier targeted traffic and link popularity ad firm. They are specialized in placing static html links on high quality, high traffic web properties. Text Link Ads are unique because they are static html links that can drive targeted traffic and help your link popularity which is a top factor in organic search engine rankings. TLA (Text Link Ads) will help you generate some extra money with your blog or website. TLA is also useful if you are an advertiser or a publisher. For publishers TLA is good because it can be run along any ad system as they are not a contextually served product. Most forum and blog software packages are compatible with their technology. You can display Text Link Ads on the same page with Google AdSense, Yahoo! Publisher Network, and other contextually served ads because it is not a pay per click or contextually served ad system. You can always control the links that should appear on your website, by approving each link. The thing I like the most is that links are elegant, unobtrusive and one placed on your website, you don't have to worry much about that, you just approve or reject new link advertisers. Each website has a price for its links. The traffic of your website, theme of your website, and link popularity of your website will determine the price of each link. The revenue share of each link is shared 50/50 for the publisher and Text Link Ads. You can be paid by check or PayPal. You can also make money being a TLA affiliate by setting up a banner or text link referring traffic back to Text Link Ads.
Text links has emerged out to be the best form of moneymaking source that you can use instead of placing ads all over the page. You don't have to make these text links prominent or even place them on the best ad space within your page. This link can act as an extra value to your site and will also help to promote the rankings of other sites. Text-link-ads's technology will also help you with adsense or other affiliate programs as it generates targeted traffic for your website and help improve page rank.
