Make Money with BlogRolled.com

Just when you though the act of blogrolling is dead, a new service like BlogRolled.com appears and pumps life back into it. In fact, this service allows your to make money from your blogrolls.

Essentially, what you’re doing is selling your blogrolls to advertisers, which makes it similar in theory to Text Link Ads or any other text links brokering service.

Here’s how it works:

• As an advertiser, it’s an easy process. We have an inventory of publishing sites available to you which you can search, sort through, and find publishers related to your product or service. Once you have found a listing you like, enter the details for your site and then checkout. Within a few business days of making the purchase, the selected publisher will place your ad live on their site.
  
  
• As a publisher, it’s just as easy. Once an advertiser makes a purchase from your listing, you will be notified of the sale. Once you’ve received the notification, you will be asked to place the ad on your site into your blogroll. Done. That’s it!

When you sign-up, you need to add a code like this to your blog:

Then, you’ll start getting advertisers links showing up automatically, and at the end of the month you get paid via Paypal.

It seems at the moment, the pricing is determined by

1. Alexa rankings
2. Google PageRank and
3. RSS subscribers count.

Before you apply, make sure you have your Feedburner stats showing, as they say “RSS rank may only be known if you have your a Feedburner image on your site.”

I’m seething with jealousy as I had a similar idea, but not enough resources to get it done.

Now lets get into the question someone will definitely ask:

Won’t Google penalize my website for selling text links?

Although BlogRolled.com says NO, I believe it’s no different than from selling a text link, so do it carefully if you’re worried that Google will come after you, kidnap your kids and set your home on fire.

If links are using the “No Follow” tags or encrypted, then as ad advertiser I don’t get the “Google Juice” it would not be worth buying the blogrolls anyway.
