LinkWorth: The Good

There are a number of link broker sites out there: the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'm not going to name the ones I don't like for a number of reasons, but I will tell you about one that I have been with for several years and that I am very happy with and that is LinkWorth.com.

There are a lot of reasons why I not only like LinkWorth, but also have been very loyal to them. When I was contacted directly by an advertiser after they canceled text ads on our sites, I was surprised that they wanted to do this to get a discount by bypassing LinkWorth. I promptly reported them to LinkWorth and told the former advertiser that I would never take their business, no matter how much they offered us.

I did this because LinkWorth provides a good service and charges about 30% for the text ad fee. This is not a small amount, but the other sites I have seen generally charge about 50%, or 30% of the "wholesale" price. I consider both of these to be excessive, although to be fair LinkWorth does take 50% of the fees when they take care of the marketing and placing of text ads. I have not tried the full service option but it may be worth it.

Once your site is set up in LinkWorth, you can add code to your site which allows the adding and removing of text ads on your site to be automated. If you've ever added and removed links as advertisers change, you know that can take some time and be a headache if you have a lot of sites.

LinkWorth also allows you to buy text ads on other sites and has different types of advertising options. And as a publisher you can also provide a number of options for advertisers.

We have been with LinkWorth for a number of years and also run Google AdSense on most of our sites. Over the past few years the income from AdSense has decreased, but the LinkWorth income has increased and we are now exceeding the most we have ever made with AdSense on a monthly basis.

If you have a web site or a blog and are not not offering text ads on your site, you are missing out on a great additional revenue stream.

[Note: This is not a paid post and it does not contain any paid text link ads. Some links may be affiliate links and can be easily circumvented if you wish. If you want to confirm that I really feel this way, please feel to comment. I really do like LinkWorth...]

Student Loan Shop Gets Website

The Student Loan Shop.com Gets Facelift and New Website

The Student Loan Shop, a student loan consolidation start-up, is excited to announce its updated and enhanced website.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 13, 2007 -- A recent survey by MoreVisibility.com, a leading search engine marketing company, confirmed that more 12 percent of those polled, had never updated their Web sites. Wanting to reach more graduates and parents on line, the Student Loan Shop decided to invest into their website, giving their clients an easier platform to consolidate their student loans.

The new website features on line applications, a blog, breaking news and other improved features that the company will release in upcoming months.

The site also has a place where borrowers can apply on line. After users submit their applications, the company's highly trained Education Financial Consultants will review, contact and process the application within 24 hours. Realizing the potential threat of identity theft, the company will never ask for a social security number or other sensitive information.

Mark Archer, Director of Marketing of The Student Loan Shop, and student loan consolidation blog points to the enhanced security and added features.

"Our clients are obviously our greatest asset. The security of their personal information is paramount and we feel our website gives them the features they desire with the added security they desire."

Federal Student Loan Consolidation is a free federal government managed by the Department of Education. The program allows borrowers to consolidate several loans into one single loan with one single payment. Rates are derived by using a "weighted average" of all existing loans and capped by the US government. Because of the program's easy and attractive terms, many borrowers enjoy immediate debt relief and monthly savings up to 60%.

Archer continues, "This is a free government program that many lenders refuse to tell their clients about. Congress created the student loan consolidation program to simplify repayment and to make payments more affordable for the newly graduated borrower whose income may not yet be sufficient to afford repayment. Eligible Students often cut their monthly payments up to 60%. Our company understands that student loans and student loan consolidation can be a overwhelming experience. Our staff is in the business of education. We understand that an educated client is a happy client. "

Now AKA is Also Known As....

ALWAYSKNOWNAS -YOUR ID
Stay Connected and Current
WHAT'S YOUR AKA?

Toronto, ON/April 20, 2006 - Bono. Sting. Superman. Everyone wishes they could be known by one, simple name. Well - this is your day.

AlwaysKnownAs, or AKA for short, is a simple, revolutionary way to keep in touch. It is a new online solution that uses names and nicknames to keep you in contact with friends, family and co-workers. Similar to keeping your cell phone number when you change phones, with AKA you keep your name forever. (After all, once you're Superman, you should always be Superman.) But it's not just a name, your AKA is a permanent link to your current contact information.

"It's a fast-paced world and as we move through different jobs and cities we lose contact with people," said Terry Anderson, founder of AKA. "AKA is simple and safe. By simply choosing and sharing your AKA, friends and colleagues can stay in touch wherever they are."

Stay Connected. First you choose your AKA name, then enter it with your contact information at AlwaysKnownAs.com, and include phone numbers, addresses, emails, etc. From there, you choose different levels of privacy, controlling how much information people can see and access. For example, Superman can choose to share his work contact information with colleagues, though his home address and phone may only be available to Lois. By having complete control over which information is hidden or visible, Superman can decide who sees his private info and who doesn't.

Looking for Superman? Simply enter his AKA name (Superman) at AlwaysKnownAs.com and his current contact information will be displayed. Since he's already chosen his public and private information, he knows his personal information is safe.

You control which of your information is hidden and which is visible to the public:

Any user can request to view your hidden information. You choose which of your information is shared with any user. And you can block any user from seeing any of your information.

If you choose, public information may include nothing more than your name and city. You get to choose exactly who can see more of your info on a case by case basis. With this personalized filtering system, AKA protects you and your information.

Automate Your Address Book. AKA Connect is a family of software plug-ins for major e-mail applications that let you add to or edit your address book effortlessly. Simply type in a person's AKA, and all their current contact info is automatically entered for you. In addition, if their information ever changes, your address book will be automatically updated. Plus we've developed a special interface that will soon allow popular web-based address books and e-mail applications to integrate with AKA. Currently supported address books include Microsoft Outlook and Blackberry. Support for Palm and Mac OS 10 Address Book coming soon.

AKA Beginnings. Backed by experienced management with proven records of accomplishment, AKA is a creative and fast-paced online service designed with the user in mind. Founded in January 2005, Terry Anderson and Greg Sharp developed AlwaysKnownAs.com based on the belief that the world needs a simple and safe way to for people to stay in touch with each other. Anderson is a former CEO and founder of e.Media group in Minneapolis, Minnesota, while Sharp is a former CEO and founder of Multimedia Productions Inc. (MPI) in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Sublime Solutions in Toronto, Canada.

"Everyone has been looking for permanence in a temporary world, for that one online ID that they can take with them anywhere. We believe this service is the right product at the right time," said Anderson.

Industry Facts. According to Internetworldstats.com, over 200 million people, or two-thirds of the American public are current Internet users. With the increasingly popularity of mobile devices such as smart phones, mp3 players, PDAs and the growing availability of WiFi access, the ability for people to stay current and connected has never been more important. AKA's services are developed to accommodate the fast-growing pace of Internet technology. New updates and additions will be made on an on-going basis.

I Want My AKA. The AKA service can be used by consumers and corporate Internet users over 18 years of age. Share your AKA name with others via e-mail, in a meeting, at a party, or printed on your business card. You do not have to be an AKA member to find out someone's contact details; however, to list your information on AKA, you must subscribe to the service. The cost is $9.95 per year, but for a limited time AKA is offered free for your first 12 months.

About AlwaysKnownAs.com
AlwaysKnownAs.com is a business offering a simple yet revolutionary online software service for consumers and corporate Internet users. The service, called AKA (short for "Always Known As"), is a new online service that provides a simple and secure way to always stay connected with your personal and business contacts.

Canadian Health Domain Names on Sale

Market for Health Domain Names in Canada Heats up as Hospital.ca, Hopital.ca, Telemedicine.ca, and Eye.ca are Put on Sale

A group of premium Canadian domain names has recently been put on sale, including a rare 3-letter word domain. This is the first time that such exclusive health-related domain names have become available.

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) July 2, 2007 -- A group of premium Canadian domain names has recently been put on sale. They are: Hospital.ca, Hopital.ca (French translation of "hospital"), Telemedicine.ca, and Eye.ca. This is the first time that such exclusive health-related domain names have become available.

Health care has repeatedly ranked as the top priority for Canadians and excellence in medicine is one of the hallmarks of the Canadian identity. It is therefore no surprise that these health-focused domain name listings have generated a great deal of excitement in Canada.

Like good locations in real estate, single-word domain names are a scarce and desirable commodity. All the words in the dictionary have long been registered and it's very rare to see any single-word domain name with broad commercial appeal become available. Some .CA domain names representing smaller niche markets (e.g., cruise trips, or computer parts) have recently sold in the $20,000 - $40,000 ($CDN) range. It is anticipated that these premium health domains will be bid up even higher.

Hospital.ca, Hopital.ca, Telemedicine.ca and Eye.ca are currently available for sale by their respective owners on our domain name exchange and escrow platform. Interested parties are directed to visit the bidding pages for each of the domains, for example: http://www.sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=telemedicine.ca.
