Text Link Brokers

Text Link Brokers 06/16/2004 11:56 AM

Buy and Sell Text Links ads: These guys buy and sell text links from one site to another, with the specific intent to increase PageRank.

We specialize in brokering text link Advertisements. Text Link Ads on popular, highly ranked web sites help increase the traffic to a site from the search engines along with contributing direct traffic. In contrast Banner Ads or PPC Advertisements will only climb in price with each click, while contributing nothing to search engine ranks.

Links from pages with current PageRank of 4 go for $5 - 50 per month while links from pages with a PageRank of 9 go for $500 - $2,500 per month. I'd be interested to know who the 9's are.

I just checked and the PageRank of the Gadgetopia home page is just 5, so I'm not sitting on a gold mine or anything. For the sake of comparison, CNN's home page is a 9, while Boing Boing and scripting.com — arguably the two most popular blogs around — are both 7. I'm shooting for a 6 one of these days.

Senate Begins RSS Rollout

"Senator Joseph Biden (D-Del.) is the first Senator with a RSS news feed for press releases on his official site. Feeds for other senators will soon follow according to Jason Blum in Enterprise Systems Support of the office of the U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms. Plans call for what Blum refers to as 'RSS relay agents.' These are local customized feeds for hometown constituents for NOAA weather alerts and state news." [RSS in Government]

Biden's feed is here. This is really thrilling news, and maybe it will even prompt legislators to post more substantial news more often to their sites!

In addition, if your library runs a community or news site, don't forget that you'll be able to re-post these feeds on that site. After all, they can't be copyrighted or licensed since they're funded by taxpayer money and they come from our government, right? (At least for the moment....)
