User Contributed - Making big $$$ with Links

Here is a contributed post by Tobsn. He’s the dude who made the Recommend-It plugin for me awhile back.

Making big $$$ with Links

Over the last few month I was testing out some of the big link selling sites. I wanted to know how much they pay you, in this case me, and how easy it is to get your links sold out.

First of all, I cut it down. I don’t like those freakin’ big postings like Eli does it, I like informations compressed into little pieces. so lets start.

At the beginning I want to reroute the German visitors to teliad.de. It’s big and it works good. The prices are not that high as on TextLinkAds but it works fine for German sites and just btw. I don’t like linklift. Don’t ask me why, i just don’t like them. rest of Europe: sorry nothing else tested. Any hints? Write it down in the comments!

My Test Sites

I tested this with two very simple sites. One is a poker blog with very good bought content like a terms glossary (”full house” etc.), descriptions about the most common types of poker and similar card games and of course a few news about poker 1:1 ripped from poker news sites. The site has around 50 very unique pages. PR4. The other site i want to sell out is a German dept consulting page. You can put you ZIP or city in the search field and you get back dept consulting offices near that point ordered by range. A nice geo search site, well indexed by Google, sorted by state and city. It also has some unique content pages like a glossary etc. We’re talking about something like 50,000 pages on that site. PR5.

Both sites are touched with sprinkles from Adsense and affiliate programs.

Lets get to the big players: LinkWorth vs. TextLinkAds

First, before we come to the highlight TLA, we’re talking a minute about linkworth.

The site looks nice, the features are getting better and the concept probably works. at the end, just not for my sites. I have them in linkworth for about four month and nothing. not one sell. not one single crappy 10 cents link.

Nothing. I played with the options, I did everything I could do but nobody wants a backlink on my sites. Probably it just happens to me and others making billions with 10 sites, I don’t know and at this point i don’t care

Because it doesn’t worked out for me.

Just while I was writing this someone wanted to place a link on my poker site. one link for $40. This probably saves linkworth from a bad rating. So i visited the “pending” links site to approve the link. On the next site after clicking approve next to the link, linkworth asked me that I have to choose how i build in the links. I selected the Wordpress plugin because its a Wordpress site and with a plugin I don’t have much to care about.

The Maintenance

After selecting the Wordpress plugin and getting the download link on the next site linkworth told me:

“www.somepokerdomain.pl Failed - Please trying again in 24 hrs” - and the link I had to approve was gone.

No love for linkworth. That’s all I have to say.

Now lets talk about TextLinkAds - Where you make the big money with crap.

TextLinksAds, yeah I like that sound. They send me so much money each month, it let Larry and Brin look like hobos.

Compared to my richness. seriously, they pay out very good.

In detail that means after the first month it doesn’t happens anything at all but from one day to another i sold out all 8 links and one RSS link on my poker blog in like a week and around 2 weeks for 6 links on the dept consulting page. 8 and 6 links are not sound like the big money. I thought. but i wasn’t aware of how much they get for a good, niche matching, unique content site backlink.

Lets Put It Into Numbers

poker - 9 links - $77

dept - 6 links - $72

That means one link on my dept page gets me $12 and one link on the poker site around $8.5.

I’m impressed. I’m sold out all my links, get nice money for doing nothing. literally nothing. The best conversion I think is the poker blog.

… and now comes the bluehat kung foo …

I just set up a wordpress blog on a nice poker.com domain, trackback spammed 83 visible backlinks on google, 84 on MSN and 528 visible backlinks shows the site explorer on yahoo.com. I don’t put any effort in it. I just scraped myself a small list of trackback urls and hit the ping button. costs me around 30 minutes.

Now Comes The Interesting Part

A) I figured out that many, many blogs blocking trackbacks with poker in the title and/or url. what meant i had to use some other similar words like “card games” or “casino”. So I’m not really good “ranked” on google with major keywords. Sure i got myself a PR4 domain in like two weeks (PR update was shortly after. HA!) but I’m only have good positions with loooong terms. That ends up in not much search engine traffic.

B) you don’t need niche relevant backlinks, probably they get you a slightly higher PR at the end but for now it just counts that you get many backlinks doesn’t care about the keyword you link because you don’t need the search engine traffic.

C) sites with a PR higher than 3 and a serps ruling niche are selling very good at TLA. $8.5 for a crappy backlink on a not really traffic making page, with a lousy PR is, i think, awesome.

That means, if you can get a good PR for a domain, themed for a big subject like poker or mortgage or loans or debts or whatever is overwhelmed by SEO optimized, backlink buying domains on every search engine, you can make nice money very fast.

Lets Take A Calculator

say we have 200 domains with the topic poker. on each we put up Wordpress, fill it with RSS news and also some bought

Content, build in the TextLinkAds for Wordpress plugin for links sidebar and the RSS feed links. Now we get a PR4 for every domain. somehow. magical.

we would earn with just 6 links in the sidebar, based on my $8.5 per link: $10,200

nice, for just setting up stupid domains, doesn’t care about your own backlinks as long as they get your site a high PR…

Just btw. If you need 30 minutes per weblog and work on it 8 hours per day you’ll need 12.5 days to set up 200 blogs. say you take a bit longer, take a month. after that month you could earn a few thousand dollars… with just keeping the PR of your weblogs stable and high as possible.

… and you know what? TLA keeps it real:

you’ll need 12.5 days to set up 200 blogs.

And 6 month for PR recalculation.

That’s a great amount of money you can earn!

Tobsn Jul 31, 2007 at 2:44 AM

update

about linkworth: i got an e-mail from the support because of my little “problem”:

Tobias, There is actually something wrong with that advertiser account. They have money in their account but the system is not letting them use it. We have a programmer working on this and I am sure they will repurchase the ads once it is corrected. Please be patient. Thanks, Mitzi “I CAN HAS BUCKS BUT NO LINKZ?”

still, no love for linkworth… …and about linklift: they rewritten all the crappy code in their system (also wordpress plugins etc.) and the affiliate system is better than before. (greets to mr. linklift herforder)

Ich mag deine Artikel, der einen guten Artikel ist Oh!

Mark Jul 31, 2007 at 2:56 AM

Great contribution Tobsn, really enjoyed reading that - especially the “blue hat kung foo” vd, PR exports are usually every 3 months and to be frank, if you aren’t prepared to wait 12 weeks for something to work, you’re never going to make any money online.. Some solid ideas to build on with this post. However, I don’t see TLA being around for too long. Google is cracking down on paid links and zapping any link strength they pass. It’s all too easy to get a list from the TLA directory of who is buying/selling links - so I think public link auction sites like this won’t be doing great business in the future. Just don’t put all your eggs in one basket and quit your day job Thanks for the post Tobsn/Eli.

Yes, that’s a great article about earnig money !

Jul 31, 2007 at 3:19 AM

Hi, one thing I was wondering about on which you get conflicting answers: does Google penalize hosting lots of domains on one host/ip? For instance, do you need tens of accounts for your 200 blogs, or can you just run them from one account with unlimited domains, like Dreamhost?

Plepco Jul 31, 2007 at 9:39 AM

As far as hosting, just buy a few accounts and spread out your sites across various IPs that way. I have like four (crappy) hosting accounts that run me about $10 a year, I pay $5 or so for some hosting I bought on eBay, and I have a $70/year account with Lunarpages. I have put a bunch of sites on those accounts and it works out well.

Plepco Jul 31, 2007 at 9:41 AM

Buy a bunch of cheap hosting accounts at various places. You can get $10/year hosting easy. That way you can have a bunch of IPs.

Eli Jul 31, 2007 at 12:44 PM

Matt cutts talked about this in his myth busters videos. Shared hosting and hosting on the same ip as sites that are banned have no affect on your site. So same IP does not hurt you….according to him.

Craig Jul 31, 2007 at 3:56 AM

How long? Is that amount of money per month, or per year?

kelvin newman Jul 31, 2007 at 5:35 AM

It’s the fundamental flaw in how these services price their links, serves them right if a few people take advantage!

trigatch4 Jul 31, 2007 at 5:52 AM

The problem is, you’re assuming there are enough people who want to buy links on 200 blogs. You’ll be flooding the TLA market with links from poker sites and supply will far outpace demand. That’s my guess anyways.

Jul 31, 2007 at 8:30 AM

Yep, that’s a problem I see too.

screwd Jul 31, 2007 at 5:37 PM

Yea, you will flood the market and prices will god down, etc. Theres not that much link love to go around. And on the subject of PR updates, I havnt seen one in a while, anyone know when last one was?

Jul 31, 2007 at 6:34 AM

Hey Tobsn, I hear you’re one hell of a programmer…so the only thing I would add to your tut is to include an alexa cheater. TLA and the other guys take alexa (and technorati I think) into consideration when deciding how much to pay you for links.

Jul 31, 2007 at 10:11 AM

Is it 2005? This is such bad idea on so many levels.

BeachBum Jul 31, 2007 at 11:27 AM

I did a post on earning more money with Text-link-ads earlier today on my BLOG. I took a different path, but I like your math better. BeachBum

David Jul 31, 2007 at 11:51 AM

This is obviously not tested because there is no way anyone would buy links to 200 of essentially the same site. As said above, the supply would outpace the demand on TLA. It’s great to find ways to dupicate money-making methods, and even better, automate it, but this is simply not dupe-able. And good luck pulling PR 4 on 200 domains, that seems like more than a few weeks worth of work. Additionally if your sites are all ripped content and provide little of actual value to anyone, this technique won’t last long. You would be spending so much time coming up with new ideas and new implementations that the effect would be null. I think there maybe something here in the idea, but the above method is probably not the best way to go about it.

Justbeenpaid Apr 29, 2012 at 8:16 AM

Wow this is a great comment

Thank you for taking the time and writing this for us

Eli Jul 31, 2007 at 12:45 PM

no mention of textlinkbrokers in here?

They sell in large packages such as 200 links across 150 subdomains with PR4-pr7. stuff like that. Many go for $500+/month.

Thanks for the post tobsn, this has opened up a really good discussion. Duplicable idea or not.

Tobsn Jul 31, 2007 at 1:14 PM

i never said its a good idea, in any way duplicable or that my math is proofread by hawking but its definitely possible and there is no way that you would outpace the demand on TLA with 200 blogs… sure, i know there are ~300 sites in the “blogs” category on TLA but you can spread your sites over all the categories… and at the end… wouldnt it be fun to rule at least 2-3% of the TLA “market”?

Justbeenpaid Apr 29, 2012 at 8:16 AM

Another great comment by tobson

Thanks

screwd Jul 31, 2007 at 5:44 PM

the problem (or blessing) with most of these text link sites, is.. they do alexa really badly. Since alexa only takes 1st level domain into consideration, you are better off getting a crappy tripod or wordpress.com account. Gives you bob.wordpress.com or whatever, and that ranks alexa rank of 228

(sorry if this dupes, seems to not like my comment)

smaxor Jul 31, 2007 at 9:53 PM

It really amazes me how small minded some people are. Tobsn great post by the way. Most of the people on here that have responded are really small minded idiots in my opinion. Everyone is looking to shoot holes in why it won’t work. Whaaaa “saturation” whaaaaa “google is cracking down” give me a break you douchebags and come up with some good ideas on how to improve on what he shared. There’s money in that thread and it’s the small minded losers that don’t see and just want to tell you why it won’t work. If you want to make good money in this or any business become and follow the glass half full people, not the glass half empty. Good work Tobsn keep it up!@

Jul 31, 2007 at 10:38 PM

Is the income per month, or per year?

Aug 1, 2007 at 5:32 AM

I’m with smaxor here. I think the idea (or at least principle) of Tobsn’s post is great. It doesn’t mean it has to be followed literally to work. Posts like these serve as a seed for many other workable ideas and that is the point.

Matt Stoddart Aug 1, 2007 at 7:45 AM

Sounds like we need to get on the ball for you, bro! We outsourced the development of our WP Plugin and it’s been a bit of a headache. As for the other LinkWorth-related concerns, I’m going to see if there’s anything I can do to change your opinion about us….just give me a little time.

Aug 1, 2007 at 9:57 AM

Very interesting idea. I’ve been looking for an easy way to monetize TLA for awhile. This could be it My main holdup is how to go about getting all that trackback spam. How do you scrap all those trackback links? I’m pretty bad at finding the links the old fashioned way (manually). I’m assume you’re using wordpress - do you just basically make one post with all the trackback URLs listed in the trackback part of the post?

Desty Aug 1, 2007 at 11:37 AM

I have similar problems with Link Worth. Mind you my blog is getting ready to hit 3 months old near the middle / end of August. I browsed through some of the other sites available and the sear number of sites is HUGE! Hopefully things will get better after some Google PR love this month crossing fingers

raj Aug 1, 2007 at 7:30 PM

You’re assuming, though, that there is enough ad inventory to support your 200 poker blogs. On the other hand it’s quite possible. It’s certainly a good niche for TLA. I was earning about $220-250 from one site, and was told the other 7 gambling blogs I bought could earn a total of $500-800/m once they hit PR4. Not bad, considering I don’t even gamble. Someone mentioned it above: you do have to wait for PR recalculation, but if you start now, you’ll be okay for Oct 31st, I think. good luck

Aug 1, 2007 at 9:51 PM

When is the fucking google update going to happen? Man, it is more than 180 days Google. wtf. I hate this waiting, it sucks. Why can’t google simply update it every 180th day? Also PR is a flawed stupid system, which I think google is going to drop very soon. After that, a site’s importance will be decided purely based on the backlinks. May be google can drop it’s PR nonsense and start showing accurate backlinks.

Aug 1, 2007 at 11:06 PM

Find here the list of dates updates for PR:

Dropping the PR? Yeah, right I’ve heard that since years, Google is not going to drop it soon, it might change its algorithm to calculate the PR, but even then , the PR is representing the number and values of backlinks, so even if you have many crappy backlinks, you will get a nice PR. Remember that Google link: command only shows a sample of backlinks, so you can’t rely on that to know the importance of a website…

Raven Riley Fans Aug 2, 2007 at 1:23 AM

isn’t it enough to run the blogs through squirt to get enough backlinks for a good pagerank? cause in that case you are not spamming other sites where the owners can answer with their lawyer .

Aug 2, 2007 at 2:16 PM

@tom haahahaha i agree man. They should update in real time. If they have so much money, they should spend some time on a better system for their webmasters that make them the money by giving them websites to index. for example, make the spidering a little better. However, they give us things like analytics for free, which is sweet. From my experience, pagerank means squat.

Seb Aug 5, 2007 at 3:26 AM

But anyway, if you are selling 200 links or less, it is more or less money for doing nothing. So its ok! Setting up a blog is so easy. I even have got one site with a PR3 and that only comes from links from ONE bookmark site.

Mark Aug 5, 2007 at 9:14 PM

Great post Tobsn, I have been doing this for awhile now and it does work. Trackbacks did not work, as they were deindexed too fast. But posting just a few comments in the nofollow crowd did (-: Also add a few youtube videos to make the pages a little bit sticky. When they are evaluating your site, and how much they pay, the sites with the videos sell faster. Thanks again for making me want to bang out another 250 domains this week. As for the inventory part, just do not submit them all to one company at the same time, stagger them out. This is not a fast cash system, but makes very good $$$ every month.

Matt Colvin Aug 7, 2007 at 5:31 PM

For the doubters - this does work.

For the folks that are going to try this here is a hint to get you off to a running start.

I just found your blog last night and I really enjoy the material. Keep up the good work. I mentioned how impressed I am with your creativity on my Kansas City SEO blog. I thought you may be interested in taking a look.

Anton Aug 14, 2007 at 1:04 AM

The idea seems to be credible, but maintaining 200 blogs is not so easy as it looks even if they are fully automated. Some sh*t regularly happens to them anyway.

Chris Nielsen Aug 17, 2007 at 12:00 PM

I’m a big Linkworth fan, but I have to admit it took me quite a while to get some links sold and make some good money. Now I’m up to almost 2k a month. I like them because of that and also that they are a good company for the most part. I have exchanged emails with some of the management including the CEO. There are a few warts to be sure, but if you have good sites (PR, Alexa, and traffic) then you can sell links if they are priced right. On my biggest site, a directory about 3+ years old, PR4, 11k hand-edited listings, I have some links that pay $149 a month! What I do with all my sites is start out fairly low and get some links. $5 is $5 and better than nothing. Then when I get 3-4 links I start raising my prices, since I don’t want too many links swarming the page. The idea was to slow down the link requests, the effect was to start making much more per link. If I start losing links, I lower the price again. But the best thing about LinkWorth is that they only take 30% of the fees. Look at what others take and some are up to 50% of the “wholesale” price, which is a total ripoff IMO. If LinkWorth places links for you they do charge 50% (retail), but for some people that is worth it to have them spend the time on it.

LinkWorth.com baby, and I AM an affiliate who doesn’t mind using a non-affiliate link…

Aug 29, 2007 at 6:39 PM

200 blogs…wow.

I guess there’s a better method to monetize them. Let’s say you have 200 blogs in one niche - why not to advertise your own sites and your own affiliate programs on their pages? let’s do some calculation - let’s each blog have 5 visitors a day. there are 1000 visitors a day in total. And all of that blogs are linking to target site which have a good position in serps (so let’s add 20-200 visitors more). let’s say you have some context gambling ads and ctr about 15%. 1200/10015=180 clicks a day. each gambling’s click is about $2-3. 180$2*30 days=$10800. and that’a a bad method of monetizing because the better way is to send visitors directly to gambling aff. programs - the total profit per user will be much-much greater than 2-3 bucks.

Constantly add the fresh content, dont’t wait for the PR update, get the new visitors to the new pages of your blog empire…and buy new BMW every year.

Sound good but the true is you should choose the less competitive niche than gambling and working with 200 blogs is as hard as hell. And sure later you can put on your blogs TLA

Sep 13, 2007 at 11:01 PM

My humble opinion is that TLA isn’t worth giving them money. They have huge commission and the links are sold sitewide at once. Selling links on separate pages with services like can give more money. The links will be cheap, but you can sell every page of the website separately. Selling many links can turn out to be a more stable and predictable business than selling a few. If you understand such things:)

Pay Per Install Sep 18, 2007 at 11:23 AM

Sellling links is realy the easiest money on the net. But You need PR first and that could be problem…

Sep 20, 2007 at 1:06 PM

Sep 25, 2007 at 1:52 AM

Can you give some more information about the backlink spamming please?

Above post was also mine, but I was having problems posting it, seems that only the quote got through. Thanks.

Mike Oct 25, 2007 at 3:33 PM

Other than the upfront time it will take to get 200 blogs going it sounds like a great idea.

Papa Roach Dec 13, 2007 at 3:36 AM

Congratulations - finally somebody said it! One of the most important skills in writing is to convey your thoughts with several simple words. I can’t imagine who is losing his time to read endless blogs filled with complex sentences. I like your style and your way to express yourself. And something else - you are absolutely right - it’s not always necessary to spend long hours in hard ungrateful work. You can simply use your brain and make the money come to you without such awful efforts.

RiskyBusiness Dec 14, 2007 at 7:47 PM

So how’s everybody coming along with their SEO empire so far? Mine’s doing quite well with about 100 foundation sites, close to 500 cycles sites in full rotation and much more

I’ve bought about 100 Links too, and earn the most money through teliad & linklift, it’s easier than i thought.

I was making easy money with TLA untill my PR went from PR5 to PR0 which was most likely because of the fact that I published my findings

i am also making good $$$ with link sales but the website needs to be unique with less outgoing links and should be on different IPS for more $$$. you can make easy money if your website get PR4. thanks

shrkscn Feb 18, 2008 at 5:22 AM

This is a really informative post on Text link Ads. But the net summary would be to get a high PR page and then sell links via Text Links. But the real question is how long can you maintain the PR if you are just using scraped content from RSS. But yeah this is one cool option to earn good money. Sad I have not been able to earn money this way.

This sounds easy than the actual work it needed, you have to do a lot of work to get a decent page rank for those 200 blogs

Thanks for this post Tobsn. I have always wanted to try TextLinkAds but was unable to find a real review until now. I wanted to know how much they pay per link, sounds like you need at least a PR4 to get rolling with them. Anyhow your figures sound very encouraging. I have one questions if you happen to come back and check this post - Are the links they purchase for $8.5 monthly, yearly, or permanent?

Link seller have been penalized. It´s a good thing.

Gambling Aug 15, 2009 at 2:09 PM

In despite of Google penalties there are out there websites investing big money in links every month. For a skilled webmaster in the art of building PR, a chain of websites or blogs could bring very good money. I know some guys on vacation because they have sold their website space to the big boys.

Finding out links for the site is very intricate. If i find many links for my site, i can say that my online business is going well.

I’m with Matt here. I think the idea (or at least principle) of Tobsn’s post is great. It doesn’t mean it has to be followed literally to work. Posts like these serve as a seed for many other workable ideas and that is the point.

Agreed. There is also a lot of other small things you can be doing to get more out of this strategy.

India Tour Packeges Oct 9, 2010 at 11:27 AM

I know I’ve got a late start on this but after spending the most of today on the project I now have a script crawling several websites for blog titles. I’m up to about 30,000 titles just from the last few hours. I also have coded the rss feed generator, and the keyword organizer so that I can target specific products for the keywords. What do you think is a good amount of titles to be working with that will make this worth while? Also, am I correct when saying that we are relying on the spammers to link back to our “fake blogs” for this to all work? Is that really a safe bet? Do the spammers actually include our links?

PR exports are usually every 3 months and to be frank, if you aren’t prepared to wait 12 weeks for something to work, you’re never going to make any money online.. I feel that Google is definately cracking down on paid links tho cutting out all their value so not sure how long that is going to last.

Other than the upfront time it will take to get 200 blogs going it sounds like a great idea.
