Long time ago - I believe it's been a year and a half, which qualifies as prehistoric in internet time - I stumbled upon Linkworth. The company brings advertisers and publishers together to create a win-win situation: The publisher receives a monetary reward for their time and effort - they're paid - and the advertiser builds links and referrals to their website. The Linkworth company benefits from a percentage of the deal they receive for bringing the two parties involved together.
Sure, you probably wonder, but what's the answer to the "Pennies or big bucks?" question? Do you make money online by participating in this text link advertising business? Well, I just looked up my reports since December 2005 and while I'll not give you an exact, the total amounts to a figure I'd describe as "definitely more as pennies but not big bucks just yet". Once I make more than a months pay in my regular job extra a year, I'd call it big bucks. Other partners' mileage may vary and no doubt are there some who make very good income working with LW.
Linkworth may be less visible as a company than some of the competitors that recently appeared on the market, but they are a solid and trustworthy company that just "is". I don't need the companies I deal with to be vibrant, excessive or in your face - I need them to be knowledgeable, solid, and provide good support. Linkworth is all that and more.
