I normally don't post in forums if I don't have to, but i had to after reading all of the comments in this topic.
I have been a linkworth advertiser/partner since around June. You can view our available Ads at Linkworth.com and verify i am the real deal because i use the same username there as i do to post here.
Prior to this, I experimented with purchasing text links via auctions, or directly from webmasters on their sites. Though this was effective for my SEO project, the management was a huge nightmare. My excel spreadsheet rapidly filled up with comments, color codes, active and cancelled links, etc... Those who track your placements and advertisements might know where i am coming from.
Linkworth is a relatively new website, so when considering Alexa ratings, you most definately have to consider how long the site has been up. 34K in six months isn't bad, especially if you are using completely legitimate SEO techniques to boost your visibility acorss the web.
Sure, back in April, when you posted the original message on this board, the system was a little light on the technical side, but i can now attest that this is seriously one of the most powerful SEO tools I have used. The reporting is real time and is really incredible when you consider all of the data being pulled. From the buying links standpoint, the system is extremely easy to use. IT allows for quickly sorting through links in your preferred category by price, page strength and any other quantifier you can think of. Also remember, that these tools are available for FREE.
I originally signed up with Linkworth to purchase links. I can say, that I currently manage 25 seperate text placement through this account. As previously mentioned, there will always be trouble between partners/advertisers, but the great thing is... I don't have to deal with it.
I have placed a couple of links over the last few months that didn't work out the way I wanted... and my charge on those was refunded. The admins have done a great job.
I also am a partner who uses linkworth for advertising. Feel free to visit the site and place an Adver on our website
. But seriously, i manage about 90% of our advertising through here... it rocks. RSS feed, or manual placement, or whatever you want. very easy integration.
So, to sum up: I am a fan.
Look, if you are serious about SEO, it is worth checking out. I am speaking well of this website cause it has helped me out considerably. Keep in mind that the posts on this forum are many months old. I remember a time when overture.com was goto.com ..... and their system was crap! but a few months of hardcore development can do wonders.
Been a pleasure.
thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings.
