Again, unlike others, they don’t have thousands and thousands of duplicate articles. Presently they have 1300 unique articles. So, check it out!

The first thing I liked about Web Articles was the well organized categories. They have articles and tutorials on Arts & Entertainment, Automotive, Business & Finance, Computer & Technology, Health & Fitness, Home & Garden, News & Society and Reference & Education. Again most of these categories has some deep sub-categories. For example: Business category contains Strategic planning, Advertising, Direct marketing, Customer services, Business development and Marketing strategy. I like their Internet and online section, where they covers interesting articles related to Internet marketing and E commerce.

The front page of Web Articles features the latest articles. Every article and tutorial has it’s own page and comes with links to other relevant articles. Even you can mail their articles to your friends. They have a Google powered search feature that you can use to find the right articles.

What about article submissions? If you have some unique articles or tutorials, you can submit them to Web Articles. This service is free. But, make it sure that your article is not duplicate. Otherwise they will not publish your article.

The products and services that LinkWorth offers:

LinkAds:

LinkAds are text-based advertisements linked directly to an advertiser’s target landing page and hosted in a specific area of your homepage, sub-page or entire website. You control your earning potential by determining how many ads you want to host, which pages you want to host them on. LinkAds are a perfect way to host advertisements on your page without hassling your visitors and losing their respect.

LinkWords

LinkWords are pay-per-click ads, which means you earn a percentage of the revenue every time someone clicks the advertisement. LinkWords advertisements look much like a hyper link, as they are embedded directly into an advertiser’s preferred keyword strings. When a visitor to your website mouses over the hyper link, an in-line advertising window is launched to display information about the advertiser’s product or service.

LinkInTxt

LinkInTxt combines link relevancy, page popularity and direct traffic into one ad unit. It’s one of the best ways to keep your advertisers happy and keep their intrusion on your site space to a minimum. With LinkInTxt, direct links to your advertiser’s target pages are embedded within the existing content of your page using their preferred keywords.

LinkPost

LinkPost is a service that allows bloggers to write paid blog posts on their blogs. Unlike other similar services, LinkWorth allows its’ Advertisers to have some control about what’s being written. They can specify exactly what they want to be reviewed, mandate that it’s a positive review, or the blogger is free to use any tone in the review.

LinkBB

LinkBBs are internet billboards. An advertiser writes a page of content with links to their products and services. Once you approve the content, the content page is hosted as a page on your website, complete with your template. As LinkBB content pages are articles, often developed by LinkWorth content writers, you can rest assured that they contain quality information that is designed to actually show up in search engine results pages for specific keyword strings. So, with LinkBB you will gain higher visibility in the search engines, besides helping your advertisers to gain link popularity.

LinkSura

Unlike a single LinkAd, LinkSURA ads rotate the anchor text with each page view or visit by search engine crawler, allowing your advertiser the ability to promote multiple anchor text keyword strings for a single landing page. By integrating LinkSURA into your web pages, you can add additional value and advertising options, leading to an increase in advertisers and revenue.

LinkMura

LinkMura, or Mulit-URL Rotating Ad, is a more advanced version of our LinkAds and LinkSura products, and it helps get those advertisers excited to advertise with you. This text link advertising mechanism is unique to LinkWorth in that it is the only text link advertisement that can rotate the anchor text as well as the target landing page, highly benefiting your advertisers.

LinkPack

LinkPack allows you to offer package deals to your advertisers so they can publish a single LinkAd to all of your sites. If you have several domains in the same industry, you can group them together for advertisers, providing them with a multitude of on-topic backlinks. You can also offer a different discounted price to attract bargain hunters, and LinkWorth will facilitate all of those transactions so that generating revenue from advertising becomes a no-hassle prospect.

LinkDir

LinkDir is LinkWorth’s directory submission service. They manually submits your website to as many as 300 of the largest, most popular directories on the internet for a variety of keywords and descriptions.

LinkArt

LinkArt is LinkWorth’s Article submission service. They submits your articles to hundreds of publisher sites with a one-time fee for each submission.

Other LinkWorth Tools:

You can check the Popularity with LinkWorth’s ‘LinkRank Tool’. This tool has nothing to do with Google’s PageRank and gives an insight on the internet as a whole. You can also use their ‘LinkQuote Tool’ to get price suggestion for your site.

Types of Partner Accounts:

LinkWorth offers two types of accounts for their partners – Basic and Preferred. Basic Partners earns 70% and Preferred Partner earns 50% of all transactions. Partners of both accounts are listed and have access to all control center features. But Preferred Partners are given 1st choice of new business and they enjoys discounts on listing upgrades. They also have a Combo account, that allows you to buy and sell advertising with LinkWorth.

Payments:

Payments are made on the 10th day of each month, or the closest business day if the 10th falls on a holiday or weekend. They can pay you in different ways including Direct Deposit (US Banks Only), Bank to Bank wire (Non US Banks), Business Check or PayPal. Minimum payout for PayPal is $25.

In case of Combo referrals, they will pay you the same amount, as I stated above. A Combo referral is like getting two affiliate at once!

Google AdSense has updated their text ad formats to include more ads in a single ad unit. How? Now, Google AdSense text ads includes ‘next’ and ‘previous’ arrow buttons for cost-per-click (CPC) ads. When a user clicks on the ‘next’ button, an entirely new group of ads will appear in the text ad unit, giving users greater control over the ads they see and click. For last few months, Google was testing this feature and now they hopes that this will help AdSense publishers in improving their earnings.

While the ads the user initially sees may be relevant to a publisher’s content, they may not be precisely what the user is seeking — for example, a user may see ads about cheddar and brie cheese but would prefer more information about Swiss cheese. With the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons, users can view more cheese ads until a Swiss cheese ad appears.

But, do you think that your users will always see relevant ads by using ‘next’ and ‘previous’ arrow buttons? I don’t think so, as CPC text ads depends on your content. If your content don’t have enough keywords, Google will show some other loosely related ads.

Still, from publishers point of view, this feature has potential to maximize ad revenue. But the real question is, how many of your users will use these buttons to see more ads?
