LinkXL

• November 17, 2008

Whenever I speak to anyone about buying links I try to tell them about the LinkXL philosophy – unfortunately, my philosophy and link buying strategy has been slow to sink in with the average webmaster. LinkXL is founded on the principle that highly relevant HTML text links in natural content are much more powerful and safer than links in footer and sidebars. The idea of LinkXL grew out of my personal linking method, which was to contact webmasters one by one and offer to pay them for a link in the content of a relevant article that points the website I happened to be promoting.

The only problem with my method is that it is a grueling process contacting webmasters trying to convince them to take money to change a few words on their site to a link to my site. Heck, many don’t even know how to create a link. (yet they have a website – go figure)

Throughout my business career I have always been about automating processes. So LinkXL was just a natural extension of my automation philosophy. I figured if I could automate a way for people to buy links in content LinkXL would take the link buying world by storm. I was surprised by the lack of understanding in what we offered and how stuck on footer and sidebar links most webmasters and SEOs were and continue to be..

Anyway, we march on – little by little, post by post, presentation by presentation, and person by person. Finally, LinkXL is creating the beginnings of a paradigm shift in link buying. Each day the light bulb turns on for more and more people and they finally “get” why links in content like the ones LinkXL sells are so powerful. We’re not all the way there yet as it is still easier to sell worthless footer links on high PR pages then cheaper relevant links in content that actually work. But we are getting closer and it is good to see an idea I had over 2 years ago during a 4 mile run turn into a successful website with a great product.

It makes it all worth it when I see articles like the one Jason Lee Miller wrote in WebProNews on November 16th which started out with:

“For every abolition an underground emerges. Google’s not exactly the law, and bootleggers during Prohibition didn’t exactly offer seminars about avoiding the revenuers. Todd Mailcoat, Rand Fishkin, John Lessnau, with six middle fingers between them, offer no such discretion and invited PubCon attendees under the table in a session titled Linkfluence: How to Buy Links With Maximum Juice and Minimum Risk.”

So anyway, if you haven’t tried links in content and your site needs a boost, please visit LinkXL
