LinkSmile Offers No Cost Alternative to Link Brokers / Auctions

(May 23, 2005) LinkSmile, an online marketing business with a focus on text link advertising, has now eliminating all seller fees and commissions on text link ad sales. All webmasters now have a marketplace where they can sell their text link ads (and banners) without paying the typical "30%-65% link broker fees" or "up-front link auction fees."

LinkSmile boasts, “One of the most relevant ways to rank a site in all major search engines is by looking at what other sites link to it (backlinks). There are a number of other factors, but every SEO expert will agree that quality, relevant text links are 80% of the battle.”

This may be good news for webmasters participating in text link marketing and advertising exchanges. Wesley, CEO of LinkSmile, states, "The no fees move is a bold gesture designed to help webmasters finally earn more from their sites, and we made this decision to give a big 'Thank You' to our loyal sellers who have helped us grow and succeed."

While many major sites are selling text links through brokers, paying more than 50% of their income for that service, LinkSmile provides the link selling option at no cost.
