Maybe I should start selling...

links from my main page, hell it seems to be working for others:

Do you sell your links on the main page of your site?

[Paul_KY]

Go for it! Take the easy money while you can. There are plenty who will pay you.

Honestly Paul, do you think it's a good idea or does it make me a complete lowlife considering it would be paid text links on the main page of lifesupporters given the scope of that site.

I am considering doing it but not if it will compromise the sites integrity, we all know I'm a lowlife already, no use protecting my reputation.

Duke, as long is the content you're linking to is related and family safe, I don't see a problem at all.

Be sure to check those links often, as link buyers love to change their content from time to time. Check to see how long the domain has been registered, etc.

Bait and switch, I bloody hate it. I got a network of financial sites that had done this in Skaffe. They were of course thrown out when we realised.

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it. I'll give it a try and let you know how it turns out.

Duke (and anybody else interested in this ), you should go and read this post and all the comments (some from very respected SE people) about selling advertising links, ethics and also the effects this has on your search engine rankings.

Well, I agree but I thought the most interesting bit was the discussion in the comments.

[Duke]

I only intend on selling links to like-minded sites or sites that have some content on them that relates to my site.
