Free Text Link Ads is an advertising outlet for business looking to promote their sites. Placing text link ads on our network will help your marketing efforts. Unlike other sites that promise visitors to your sites using methods such as pop up or email marketing, your ads will be placed on our members sites throughout our network and when somebody clicks on them, they will be coming directly to your site because they wanted to.

We also have a link directory that you can submit your links into. This is helpful in gaining backlinks to your site. You may also list your site at the top of our pages in the link directory by purchasing a featured link.

By placing a small piece of code onto your site, you will be allowing other members to display their ads on your site. This keeps the service free. The ads are targeted by category so you can choose which categories will display on your site.

The way the the free exchange system works is ad for ad. In other words, to earn credits for a "Button" ad, you would need to place the "Button" code on your site. To earn credits for a "Link" ad, you would place the "Link" ad code on your site. By placing a certain ad size code on your site, you will accumulate credits for that particular ad size.

During some of our early stages of online promotions of our sites, we fell trapped to some companies who promised many visitors to our sites for a fee. What we found through our own tracking efforts was that these companies were not sending visitors to our sites, rather, they were displaying popups of our sites in front of random computer users who would then immediately close the popups. They counted these annoyed people as visitors to our sites. We created Free Text Link Ads because we feel this is a much more proven method to market your sites. You place an ad on a network of members whom have agreed to display your ads on their web pages. When a visitor clicks on your ad, it is a real visitor who has an interest in your site.

Absolutely not. The text ads you create will be displayed on our members website pages within the designs that they have for their sites. The ads will display nicely alongside any other ads they choose to display. In fact, one of the options of our templates is to display a "Link Only" ad - one where the hyper link only will show, nothing else.

The exchange portion of our site is free because our members have agreed to display ads on their sites. We will never sell your information to any third party. We are also a spam free site. We do not employ any tracking methods other than those that will allow us to give you more free credits to use toward your ads. Your information will be kept safe with us.

There could be a couple of reasons your ads aren't showing. If you've just signed up, your account needs to be approved first. To get your account approved, a human will be verifying that code was placed on your site correctly and that your ads are appropriate for our network. Once your account is approved, you may need to assign clicks or impressions to your various ads.

If you purchased a package, you'll need to assign clicks or impressions to your various ads in order for them to show.

As an exchange member, you'll be continually earning credits towards your ads as long as you continue to display ads on your sites. Occassionally you'll need to log into your account and assign your earned clicks or impressions to your ads.

This is not a site to be used for google page ranking. The purpose of this site is to help you get more exposure to others by having your ads on various sites. The ads that are displayed on our members sites are not static, meaning, permanant. The ads rotate, therefore, there is no true link back.

Your free impressions will show in your account at least 24 hours after you place the ad code on your website. If it has been past 48 hours and you still haven't received your free impressions, please contact us.

Since these are text only ads, minimal bandwidth is required to display them. In addition, the ads are served from our server, therefore most of the bandwidth that will be used will be from our server.
