    Text Advertising 101: Understanding the Phenomenon - Misconception 5


    (Page 4 of 5 )

    Misconception #5

    If you engage in text advertising you will probably be duped by unscrupulous shysters that are waiting for you in the dark corners of the Internet.

    Answer

    Text advertising was born in the back alleys and darkly lit corners of the Internet. Webmasters that were hard up for money began selling backinks to other webmasters as a means of staying afloat. Nowadays we’ve got an abundance of sites offering a variety of text ads in all sizes and colors. Here’s my personal list of the most reputable and accountable entities in this brand new and virtual “Wild West” pioneer industry. It’s a short list, because I’m only going to endorse the best of the best:

    1. Linkadage: This is an auction site. Great selection, fair prices, and the owner/operator will ban webmasters that don’t follow through on the sale or purchase of a particular item.

    2. TextLinkBrokers: This is a brokerage site. Great selection though the prices are bit high. They are very reliable and are willing to go the extra mile to make their customers happy. Just make sure to speak with one of the owner/operators if you run into a specific problem. The lower level employees may drop the ball from time to time.

    3. BuySellLinks: This is an auction site. They are a bit small, so there aren’t too many auctions available at one time, but the pricing is great and the owner/operator is available if any disputes arise.

    4. TexLinkBrokerage: This is a brokerage site, similar to the other brokerage site in terms of price and selection. This site offers a high level of accountability and valuable resources.
