New less annoying Inline text ads – InLinks.com
Posted on 20. Nov, 2008 by Chad Randall in Affiliate Programs, Making Money
The guys who brought you Text Link Ads have come up with another product to monetize your blogs, this time in the inline text category. The differentiator with their product is, unlike Vibrant and Kontera, Inlinks does not have a pop-up component. And that is the one main annoyance with most users of inline text ads, especially when they don’t mean to hover over the word or do so unintentionally. (Since it is not a pop-up the magnifier image is a poor choice of examples to use on their web site…)
Anyway, I’ve submitted this site for approval and then will test it our here to see what it looks like.
Without the popup element I’m not sure they will perform as well for $$ as their competitors, but I like the idea of buying keywords right in the page. Full editorial control is also a first in this space that I’m aware of, and the concept of flat monthly fee is a great idea.
Another feature that is a first is the ability to buy ‘futures’. Basically you prepay for a keyword that is not yet in a post and when someone uses that keyword in their blog it automatically goes live. Very cool concept.
You can sign up here and get $100 worth of links for only $1: InLinks.com

I have heard both sides of the coin of the Google Machine frowning on the whole text link ads program. Has it effected your rankings by allowing others to buy links on your site through them?

There is no question that selling links on your site will eventually affect your Google page rank in a negative way, but the only thing you really need a good Google PR for, is to sell text links
How ironic.

I’ll let you know how it works out for me

I just wonder is this a new separated program than TLA or we must be approved as TLA publisher before? I’ve been submitting one of my blog such a long time and never been approved yet.

We have been doing this since late 2007 and in our model publishers decide what to charge, so that advertisers don’t have to bid.

Thank goodness they don’t have a pop-up window! I’m sure it won’t piss the readers off since they will not be interrupted like with Kontera links. Thanks for the great run down of the service. I’ll definitely be coming back to this as an avenue to advertise! Look forward to updates on how it’s working for you.
