Whether you would like to become a Advertiser.

General FAQs

Since we can't watch every link constantly, we spot check every text link ad a few times per day, if the link is not up during all of 1 day's spot checks that counts as a link down day.

Advertisers do not pay for days their link is down so it is to everyone's advantage to keep their links up and running.

I have been in this business a long time and have found most all fraudsters, scammers, and people looking to cause problems use free anonymous emails. The goal of this site is to have a high quality membership base. A valid email is one way we to keep undesirables out so legit members can enjoy this site. No worries, since you are buying or selling links you certainly will have a real email that comes with your domain that you can use.
Our affiliate program is being developed.

Our goal is to offer the best affiliate program in the text link advertising business. Stay tuned!

Publisher FAQs

To cancel a paid text link, just go to "Link Status" in your Publisher section: http://www.buyselllinks.com/downlinks.php?type=pub

Here you will see all the text links you have sold and their statuses.

You will see a broken link icon to the right of each link's information, you can cancel any link by clicking on the cancel link icon.

Since advertisers are buying 30 day terms, if you cancel their link early the advertiser will be refunded their final 30 days.

To verify you have installed the BSL code properly and it looks like you want it, you can start a temporary text link from your Manage Published URLs admin area.

If all is ok, the test link will show up on your page within one hour. After you see the test link, you can deactivate it from the same place or it will come down automatically after 24 hours if you forget.

Currently we have plugins for:

  • Drupal
  • Wordpress
  • PHP
  • ASP
  • ASP.NET
Yes we can! We realize that even though the BSL plugins are Crazy Easy to install some web site owners are completely hands off.

Just click on the BSL support link at the top right of this site and ask for help - that is what we are here for.

If the server your website is on is running PHP you can add a line of code to your .htaccess file that will allow your .HTML and .HTM pages to parse PHP code.

The line of code you will need to add to the .htaccess file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

After you do this then add the snippet of PHP code we give you to your .HTM page and you will be able to sell links on that page.

We only accept high quality publishers. Of course, lower priced ads will not be as good as a higher priced ad. But any ad you buy from our publishers will be a quality backlink you will be proud of.
All websites and webpages are reviewed by a quality expert. We only take real websites that are not already selling text links. Your website must meet the quality standards that our advertisers expect.
We have two payout options:

PayPal - No minimum payout (No extra BSL fee)
Check - $10 Processing fee

Your best option is PayPal. It is fast and easy for us and we pass the savings on to you. We really don't want to mail checks but will do so if you want to pay the processing fee.

Two reasons. After spending years in the business I have noticed two things that happen if a text link brokerage allows anyone to be a member. First, lots of garbage websites get in the inventory that are worthless to the advertisers. Second, advertisers pushing crappy spammy websites start buying up all the inventory.
You can either set the price or have our pricing expert set the optimum price based on market conditions. When an advertiser buys an ad on your site you get 50% of what we collect.

Advertiser FAQs

In your advertiser account go to your Link Status section and find link you want to cancel.

On the icons to the right you have two options to cancel.

Cancel recurring: This will cancel link at the end of current 30 day cycle.
Cancel Link: This will cancel link immediately. This cancels link immediately but after the link has been up more than a day you will not be refunded.

So it is best you to Cancel Recurring to get your full link value.

Many publishers elect to review all advertisers. If they don't think your text ad will be a good fit your link will be rejected.
Your link should go live within 24 - 48 hours if there are no unforeseen issues. If your link does not go live within 5 days your link contract is cancelled and you are refunded back to your account.
Text Link Advertising is the placement of HTML text links on relevant webpages. Text links have proven very effect at getting more traffic to your website.
