Yesterday, MediaWhiz released a new program which you can use to make money online called InLinks, or also better known as Text Link Ads 2.0. MediaWhiz also runs TLA, so if you want to register to InLinks but you are already part of TLA, you will need another email address, giving you an error of database etc etc…
How It Works?
First, let’s review the Advertiser‘s side. inLinks allows you to purchase links within the content area on web pages. You search for instances of your top keywords and replace those static keywords with a hyperlink back to your website. There simply is not a more natural paid link on the market. Once you bought a link, you will have editorial control over it.
That’s sounds pretty, similar than TLA.
Now let’s review the Blogger’s side.Once the advertiser buy a link in your website, you can either approve it or deny it, giving you full editorial control. And like TLA, they have plugins for wordpress, moveable type and drupal, which you can activate in your blog and they will take care of the rest, being an automatized proccess.
The Bad
By reading the description of the program below, it seems exactly like text links ads, but there are a main and big difference. There are two things:
- NoFollow Free: The sold links are nofollow free, which means that will be indexed by search engines.
- Not Relevancy: You are able to buy links on websites that are not even related with yours.
As you can see, there are two big problems. If you start accepting links that can be modified by the advertiser, you won’t have control at all over them. Due to these links will be free of nofollow attribute, they will affect your ranking on search engines and guess what? When Google finds that you are linking unrelated websites in yours, you will probably get slapped.
Of course, if you can approve or deny links you won’t be so stupid to accept irrelevant things, but what if the advertiser change their configuration after you accepted them?.
I don’t know, I don’t trust in that but that’s just my personal opinion, may be I’m wrong… What do you think?
