It’s not often I decide to write a post about a website; however; I feel that this website deserves a mention. I am talking about textlinks.com who are currently giving free trials of their system to help website owners and marketers with their search engine rankings.

There are many websites that explain the importance of backlinks and how we should try to get relevant links for example Getting Hits but Textlinks.com have gone one step further making it easy to find relevant instant links in their thousands.

They do this as they already have a network of over 10,000 blogs that have already been optimised for search engines. A good example of this is my blog which is parked with their sister company seoparking.com Andy Mc As their network already has a large number of blogs, which most (assuming the owner has configure it properly) are already in Google’s index. This means that the next time Google indexes the blog again the link will show up.

There are thousands of directories out there that you can submit to, many of them free, but many of their pages do not make it into Google’s index you can swap links with other websites but if their link page is not indexed then your link will never be found.

Basically textlinks.com is a simple and effective way to receive a large number of relevant links instantly (but as all good SEO people know you should spread these over time to make the links appear natural)

It can’t be all plain sailing? I hear you say because if it was that simple everyone would be doing it. As I see it there are 2 main drawbacks.

  • textlinks.com      ask you to subscribe for $99 per month, which will give you 99 links ($1      per link) which is fine for big corporations but small users may find this      out of their price bracket.
  • Currently      all the links will come from 25 unique IP addresses, so after a short      period of time a threshold will be met where links are no longer improving      your ranking.

In conclusion I believe there is a definite value add from subscribing to textlinks.com for anyone trying to improve their website ranking; although how long that subscription will be, if you only have once site to promote, I am not too sure.

If you have a number of websites to promote then you will definitely find value at textlinks.com

Please email me if you find any irregularities with the information contained in this post.

Thanks.
