500 Words - The next ad craze?
By on Jun 25, 2006 in Dan Nickerson : )
Remember the pixel ad craze started by milliondollarhomepage.com last year?
There were a ton of copycats and that craze seems to have fizzled out now. Basically there was little linking benefit to the sites that paid for the pixels. A random hit now and again.
Enter 500Words, a site that takes linking to the next level… one that should be of far greater interest to those seeking to actually get more traffic and search engine optimization results.
500 words allows you to select from the words displayed on the page and create a link to your website for a small fee. The words are all over the map and just about anyone should find a word they can claim as their very own word.
You can select the following parameters to make your word stand out on the page…
# Small, medium, large or jumbo font size
# Bold, italics, underline, overline
# multiple colors
# mouseover text that appears when the mouse is rolled over your word
Once a word is claimed, it is gone forever. That means words will go rather quickly!
This is a great idea which will undoubtedly catch the attention of many people who will then be clicking on sponsor links. And since the words link directly to sponsor sites, there may be a search engine benefit that image ads cannot provide.
As of this writing, the actual price is 50% off the published price for words. But that will end at any moment, so I recommend claiming your word link fast!
FYI, Got-Zip owns “Golf” which I’m now linking to our Got-Games.com site.
