Inlinks is pretty much awful. Even after cancellation they continue to bill your credit card and don’t reply to requests to stop that. Have to go to my CC company now and get a chargeback.

I was about to integrate the inlinks ad code in my blog but upon seeing this, made me rethink things over. i don’t want to get penalized by Google

I would agree with several of the posts. It depends on how relevant the links are. If a reader is reading an article about the Ford Thunderbird and the inlinks ads take him to the coffee of the month club then you will probably lose the reader. If the link takes him to an ad for selling Ford car parts then you may not lose the reader.

The portion of the story that caught my eye is that it may hurt your google page rank. Logically, this would mean that you may make a few dollars off of the ad links only to have your pages ranked lower. The lower page rank would result in less visitors and less money made from the ads.

I will be watching the feed to see what other people say.

$10 per month per link. And the links can be buried on any lame low level page? Uh.. that’s a hilariously bad deal.

This is all speculation and conjecture; I’ve read Google’s quality guidelines (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769#3 ) and inlink in no way infringes on any of the attributes outlined.

It references ‘hidden links’ which I’d interpret literally as meaning having a link to a specific page without any anchor text or merging the anchor text with the background.

Text Link Ads did this before they just didn’t advertise them they would send emails to bloggers who ran smaller blogs and ask if they would use them instead of their regular TLA’s.It wasn’t advertised they sent emails requesting participation.

It does work, and I made money with them, more than a small blog usually would, though I never saw the ads and my readers never complained. I was penalized by google though.A couple of points on pagerank.

Hmm, I can see the argument against selling dofollow links – Google’s going to get you if you do! But hadn’t really considered the ethical angle before, or the effect it might have on visitors. I suppose as long as you don’t overdo it, everyone’s happy. But I must say I despise those ads that pop up as soon as you mouseover them – at least inlinks doesn’t do that.

Funny how Google hates them so much the TLA site has a PR of 7

awww shucks…

If Google truly frowned on this stuff they would yank their site from their listings. They still rank high. It’s all good.

I would be very careful trying out this program. Google is very smart these days, I’m sure they might have some way of finding out whether your links are paid for or not. Afterall you do have to implement a java script code.

As for monetization, this has much potiential. It is however a lot more aggeesive then something like Kontera for instance. With Kontera you can at least hint to you visitors that you link is paid for.

With inlinks you are sort of keeping a secret from your readers. What if the link is not relevent or takes them to a spammy site? You are putting all your trust in this program here. At least when you use Kontera or any other advertising companies your visitors know that they are clicking on the ads.

That’s my opinion on this new program.

I have written about InLInks too in my blog and I am in favor of it. It is our own blog and we decide what we want to do with it.

For a lot of bloggers, their internal pages do not contain page rank at all but if advertisers still want to purchase links on it, I seriously don’t know why Google will want to stop such a practice.

never knew that FTC can get us into trouble.
That’s strange.
