[Hidden-tech] LinkBuilding.Net

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Fred,

I saw the replies from the others, and despite the company's name, the  
offer you mentioned was basically wanting to place an ad link on your  
site — not increase your pagerank by giving you an inbound link. If  
they're willing to pay you at the start of each month for the ad link,  
and the payment method leaves you secure, why not? Check the code they  
supply you with and make sure it doesn't give them any access to your  
server. They can pay you straight to your PayPal account. You can set  
them up as a subscriber with a recurring payment. Can't hurt to see  
what their terms are. If you have the time, of course.
Of course, their real goal might be to get you to place an ad on one  
of their sites and pay them.

Google them and see what experiences other site owners have had with  
them. BBB could be a source of info, too. I read somewhere that  
they're in Arizona.

Oh, another question is whether $20 / month is enough money for your  
particular site. Depending upon your traffic, you could get a whole  
lot more per month for an ad on a home page.

Good luck,

Kimo
