Text Link Brokers Review

Text Link Brokers SEO Link Building Company offers a variety of SEO link services aimed at increasing search engine rankings through link building.

Google in particular relies heavily on quality backlinks to a page/site, if you own websites that rank high in Google for search phrases that are competitive your site almost certainly has a decent number of high quality backlinks.

There is nothing more important SEO wise than quality backlinks, a poorly search engine optimized website can rank high due almost entirely to it’s backlinks. Want some proof, check out the “Computer” search in Google. I think you’ll agree the one word search Computer is a highly competitive search result, yet look at the gateway.com listing (ranked 6). On page SEO wise EVERYTHING is wrong for the Computer SERP, the word computer does not exist on the indexed page in anyway. The page ranks high for that search for one reason, it’s got a lot of backlinks with the anchor text Computer.

Text links are that important to Google rankings, most SEO experts will spend more time on a sites link campaign than on the content of the site. In comparison the best search engine optimized content on a website with no backlinks will NEVER rank high in Google for competitive search phrases.

Now you are convinced at the value of backlinks/text links lets take a look at one of the best sources of paid text links.

Text Link Brokers Review

I’ve not looked at all the link building options available at Text Link Brokers, apparently they offer “Over 2 Dozen Link Building Services”! Here’s some of the more important Text Link Broker link building services.

Text Link Brokers Custom Link Acquisition

This would be the Rolls Royce of text link building, all the text links are custom sourced making it difficult to say the least for search engines to spot paid links. Google does penalize websites for both buying and selling text links, for this reason both the buyers and the sellers have to be careful with who they choose to broker their text link ads.

CLA is a labor intensive link building service (I know because I’ve offered this sort of SEO service in the past). Custom Link Acquisition is aimed at medium to large businesses with a decent SEO budget, if your website is mission critical and taking big risks on acquiring text links is not an option take a look at TLB’s Custom Link Acquisition Service.

Monthly Rented Text Link Ads

In the TextLinkBrokers text link inventory you’ll find thousands of pages you can buy links from. The text links come from all sorts of websites, so obtaining links for most niches is possible. There’s more SEO risk in using this source of links over the Custom Link Acquisition service, but TLB have made it difficult for Google etc… to easily determine a link is paid for. TLB require a non disclosure agreement from link buyers before they reveal the inventory, as long as Google etc… don’t break the law Google employees can’t legally login to TextLinkBrokers inventory to find link sellers and link buyers.

In comparison to Custom Link Acquisition links the links are far more affordable.

Text Link Brokers Contextual Text Link Ads

The monthly rented text links described above will normally be sidebar and footer links with no surrounding text. It’s believed search engines pass more SEO benefit through a link that is surrounded with relevant text based content, AKA contextual text links.

Contextual text link ads are embedded within a short piece of text (100-150 words), giving the link context and more SEO value.

Contextual text links are preferred over text links within sidebars/footers, they appear more natural to the user.

Social Network Boost Service

Their Social Boost service builds Facebook likes, Twitter Tweets, shares, votes, and Google plus ones on popular social networking sites. There’s increasing SEO evidence Google is using social network metrics like how many Tweets a page has as part of the Google ranking algorithm. If your SEO budget allows for this sort of SEO link building service don’t over look it, it won’t have the same SEO impact as text links (a text link is worth more than a Facebook Like or a Twitter Tweet).

You will note the pages on this website have relatively high Tweet numbers, this review currently has around 100 Tweets and is number 1 in Google for the “Text Link Brokers Review” search.

Text Link Brokers Guest Posting Service

In short this is creating a targeted article on a website with links to your site. Since the article is unique it’s highly unlikely to be seen as a paid link source by Google etc…

The problem with guest post articles is they lack backlinks and social network activity (Facebook likes, Tweets etc…), as part of the guest posting service Text Link Brokers gives the page a Social Network Boost (as described above).

Selling and Buying Text Link Ads Tips

When buying and selling text links you have to be very careful not to get caught by Google. If Google are made aware a website is buying or selling text links, the website runs the risk of a Google penalty.

For text link sellers there’s some obvious things not to do, don’t highlight the links you have sold as paid links unless you are preventing link benefit passing (by using rel=”nofollow” which removes the search engine ranking value of a link).

For text link buyers think where you are sourcing your paid links, if you find a webmaster selling text links from their site via a forum and they link to the website from the forum, don’t be surprised when the link sellers site is downgraded along with yours.

I used to sell sidebar and contextual text link ads from my network of websites to SEO clients, but it resulted in important domains within the network being downgraded. Just not worth the risk selling/buying privately because the seller has to advertise somewhere and once they advertise they are open to Google knowing they sell links.

Now I outsource SEO clients text link needs to Text Link Brokers because it’s safer.
