"This is high-quality information..."Contextual Advertising With NoFollow
Contextual advertising is a great way to gain more business. Since the inception of this advertising model, webmasters all around the world have benefited from this, until…
…Google slapped them last year by taking their PR away. According to Google’s TOS webmasters are not allowed to sell advertising by dofollow. Google search engines basically don’t want to have to crawl advert pages as this takes up room and effort, even though it is automated.
If you have been online late last year when mayhem struck you know what this is all about. Many bloggers have been slapped and lost substantial page rank. The only way to stay within the rules of search engines is to use contextual ads with a nofollow attribute.
This means you still send traffic to the “link” being advertised on your site, but you don’t pass on page rank which is fine with Google.
One such service has recently launched what people were asking for.
LinkXL has now included an option to either make your links dofollow or nofollow which is great if you are concerned about this. And you should be by all means.
The whole process of LinkXL is automated once you have signed up, been accepted and installed some code on your site.
Advertisers can buy links within any of your posts and all you need to do is collect the 60% earnings every month. By default, the cost of a link is set to $5, but you can change this within your LinkXL admin if you wish.
You can choose from a wide range of categories to suit your need as seen on the image to the right.
Billing is automated for advertisers allowing them to concentrate on other aspects of their business. See what LinkXL says about their service for advertisers:
This is natural advertising loved by search engines. To me, this is certainly the best option as a webmaster if I ever wanted to try contextual advertising myself. Even if I was to sell 10 links a month at $10 each, it could mean a difference of $60 in my pocket.
For webmasters the following apply:
From what it’s worth, I think LinkXL might be onto a winner with their new nofollow rule as it will entice a lot of webmasters/publishers to their shores. Whether advertisers see the same value without a follow attribute remains to be seen.

Thanks for all your tips and goodies. How come no posting since last month? Are you too busy? One way would be to automate your posts and schedule it. Else, after a while, your readers will assume that you are way too busy and would start to bypass the blog thinking it will have no new posts.
