LinkWorth Tutorial, how to submit your blog/site

leave comment 

LinkWorth is a publisher program that allows you to sell text-links on your blog or site.

This is a tutorial on how to submit your site to LinkWorth, as requested by some of the people on this blog. Many people are still finding it difficult to use the new interface of LinkWorth, and I can perfectly understand that. It is indeed little confusing.

LinkWorth’s designer(s) who is responsible for the interface design must be summoned to CEO’s room for this terrible job. They should read this (free) book “Designing Interfaces: Patterns for Effective Interaction Design.“.

Okay let’s start. We assume that you have been accepted to LinkWorth and this is your first time logging in to your account. After you login, what do you want to do first? You want to submit your blog, of course. So, let’s submit your blog to LinkWorth.

Step 1
You have successfully logged in to your account. Before you click anywhere, click on “My Sites” link.

Step 2
Now that you are in “My Sites” section, click on “Submit Site” link. Do not click on “Submit Blog” link just yet. (That’s another product altogether, it’s pay-per-post type of product). Now we just want to submit our blog to LinkWorth and publish text link ads from them. We are not interested in paid-reviews just yet. So go ahead, click it.

Step 3
Now you are on “Submit Site” form page. Fill in all the desired fields. Most of them are pretty standard stuff, i.e Your blog URL, Description, Traffic it gets per month…etc. However we will discuss few of the unusual fields. They are:

Link Descriptions

If you chose “yes” for this, the text links will have a description. Example:

AdesBlog.com - Technology blog that discusses Making Money Online, SEO, Publisher Programs and many more.

So if you just want to publish links only without descriptions, select “No” for this.

Rotating Ads

If you select “Yes” then, advertisers will have a chance to publish more than one variation of a same ad. So every time your page refreshes, one of the pre-selected texts will be shown. For example, one time the ad may appear like this “Ades Blog dot com“, other time “PR7 Blog“, and yet other time “Personal Blog of Ades“. But all pointing to www.adesblog.com or to particular sub-pages.

Ad on Homepage Only

If you want to have separate price for the links that will be placed on your blog’s homepage then set the price here. That means the links will be placed on one page only - homepage. If you want to chose a sitewide option instead, leave this option untouched.

Sub-Page Ads

If you want to place the ads on one particular sub-page, then fill in this option. Again if you plan to run sitewide ads, leave this option untouched.

Sitewide Option

When you chose this, you have to publish the ads on every page of your blog. In WordPress you just place one code in your theme, and it will appear on every page of your blog.

There is one more option after this, which is Billboard Link Ads . If you plan to use it, please fill it in, as well. Once you are done, click the “Add New Website” button.

Step 4 - Final Step

Final step is waiting. Now that you have successfully submitted your blog, you just have to wait until LinkWorth gets back to you. They will either accept your blog or reject it. If you are accepted, you are that much closer to getting some links. If you are rejected, it’s not the end of the world. Just try something else. Maybe TLA?

Last Word

After you have submitted your blog and while waiting for the response, you don’t have to put any scripts on your blog. Actually you don’t need to put any scripts until you get your first ad. So, this is it! Now just wait for the links to come, don’t forget to promote your links inside LinkWorth, (tips here) it will increase your chances of getting a link.

If you want to do paid-reviews on your blog, choose “Submit Blog” option that we mentioned in Step 2 and fill up the application form.

I hope you will be able to use the code when you get your first ad. If you find any difficulty in publishing the ads, do let me know.
