I would go ahead and work towards cleaning up your links, and obtaining some new quality inbound links…

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for that post, the article is very informative. What I’d like to know is now that I have several websites with a fair share of unrelated links what should I do? I hate to be rude and just delete them but I don’t want to dimenish my sites potential either. Thanks

Good question. I am currently looking at AdBrite, TLA and PayPerPost (among others) from both ends – as a publisher *and* an advertiser. There are several factors to consider when buying advertising online – not just the cost but also the direct exposure and the indirect search engine results.

The guide to buying links that I linked to in the post above is a great basic foundation for anyone looking into buying ad space online though – regardless of which network or service that they use. Definitely some helpful information there!

I’ve found the prices on TLA to be exorbitantly high. Probably something to do with the 50% cut they take.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts comparing the value of buying text link ads versus buying payperpost exposure, Lynn.
