Pay-per-click and flashing banners are not the only advertising options open to bloggers and webmasters!
Over the last ten years, the “blogosphere” has seen many changes and developments…
Long gone is the era of conservative, one-way and hard to set-up “web-blogs” that dominated the nineties. Thanks to dynamic publishing platforms such as WordPress, everyone is now free to enjoy and benefit from interactive easy-to-use platforms that virtually allow anyone to become a potential blogger.
The rise and influence of the “blogosphere” has also given the blogging community the opportunity to make some money back from their site through a diverse range of advertising options open to bloggers and webmasters to explore. However, according to a recent survey by Technorati, 72% of bloggers surveyed (2,828 respondents in the US) reported to make no income from their blog. This group regard themselves as “hobbyists” and chose not to make any financial gain from their blog or site. But why not fund your pastime to help develop your site further or compensate yourself for those hours spent developing unique content created for others to enjoy?
The topic of how to make money from your blog continues to provoke eager discussion in the online community. Whilst most bloggers would like to earn some income from their site, the fear of losing editorial control or the vision of flashing banners taking over their homepage often act as a major stumbling block to pursuing the idea any further.
However, sponsored reviews, pay-per-click ads, flashing banners and annoying pop-ups are not the only advertising options available to bloggers (and high traffic is not the only determination of a site’s value!).
So how is LinkLift unique and how can even small personal blogs and websites make money?
- Here at LinkLift, we specialise in the promotion of text links and we value the quality of content created (not just the traffic that it generates!).
- LinkLift doesn’t pay according to the number of clicks or traffic generated from a website. This way bloggers and webmasters can focus on developing high quality content without worrying about how to attract thousands of visitors before making any money.
- LinkLift only takes a 30% commission, whereas other competitors regularly take 50% commission on the price of a link sold.
- LinkLift pays a fixed monthly fee to publishers with links usually configured for around one year or more.
- The quality criterion (which allows us to determine a fixed monthly price) is not based on traffic generated. We look primarily at the age of the site, the quality & uniqueness of the content, the number & quality of backlinks which exist and the visibility of sites on search engines.
So if you are interested in making a fixed monthly income from your blog and prefer a discreet text link ad (instead of a flashing banner darting across the screen), sign up and give us a try! You don’t need a high traffic blog or site, just some good quality content which is updated regularly.
