Context Ads Pro Review: Cloaked Affiliate Links for Your Content Sites
After completing my LinkXL Review the other day it reminded me of a program I had purchased over a year ago which I use on a regular basis for a few of my Article Directories. Context Ads Pro is a simple yet powerful program which will allow you to quickly turn keywords in your content/ money sites into Affiliate Links. This is a great way to monetize your content sites in which you don't want to sell the keyword advertising. With this program, you already know what programs you want to promote and you focus on them by placing affiliate links in the actual text of articles on your site just like Kontera or other like Context Advertising solutions.
The software is as advertised. Like I said: Simple and easy to use. Load it and go. The added benefit is that all of your Affiliate Links are automatically cloaked when you add them to your keyword anchor text. You can easily add them along with Adsense advertising as a no cost addition to your money making strategies for your money/ content sites.
Context Ads Pro will scan your sites for the keywords you specify and then turn those keywords into Affiliate Links for the affiliate programs you specify. Here is a screen shot of what a site that is using Context Ads Pro could look like:

It is really a no brainer. If you have Article sites or Blogs which are not being monetized effectively and you are looking for a solution, Context Ads Pro is an easy to use solution that will work regardless of what your website type is.
LinkXL Review: Awesome Content Site Monetization
I signed up for the LinkXL.com service about a month ago and have to say: WOW! What an easy way to Make Money from Content Links. I have now added this service to over 20 websites and I will continue to do so as long as they let me. Here's why:
LinkXL is a service that allows you to make money from keywords listed in content on your website. You choose what content they can use by adding tokens to the content on your sites. If you have a Wordpress Blog, it becomes even easier because you can just upload their Wordpress Plugin to your blog and away you go. If you choose, you can just pick specific pages on your site or you can have the LinkXL spider crawl your entire site and use all of your content for Keyword monetization.
I normally choose between 2 or 3 keywords per page so my pages are not saturated with paid links. You can make your keywords even more valuable by allowing them to become backlinks with a "dofollow" tag or you can sell your keyword links as "nofollow" links. It is entirely up to you.
You can also Buy valuable backlinks for your website. All you have to do is use the LinkXL search function and find backlinks you want for any given keyword. I picked a few out and found one which had a solid PR and ranking. It was a genuine backlink with "dofollow" anchor text for my website here on an Alexa Ranked site (81677), pointing to my site here. Check out the link buried in the article for the keyword "advanced SEO" here. This is a great example of what you can do. I am paying $1.00 per month for this link with "dofollow" anchor text, making it a genuine backlink with incredible value for my site.
If you are smart and SEO savvy, you already see the endless possibilities for all of your websites by using this Free service.
I had some issues with getting my sites listed initially, but then I found that the Customer Service reps at LinkXL would upload the software on my sites for me and BAM, there I was operating easily. Wordpress Blogs are simple, you just have to realize that it might take up to 3 hours for your sites to come online after setup is complete. You do have to go through a couple pages on their site during setup, but I can tell you it was well worth it. I aslo recommend not pricing your keyword achot text for your sites too high as this will cut down on your profits. I started with $5 links, found that I wasn't selling any, changed my links to $1 and $2 per month and now I have a monthly recurring income from this service where I am on the way to around $50 in my first month. As this grows, you can see the easy monetization of thousand page sites. Especially if they have some decent pagerank and are niche sites with good niche keyword domain names.
Check it out, I can't recommend an easier way to make a recurring income for your Content based websites or to add to your own value added backlinks. Get more information on LinkXL here.
Reseller Zoom Review: Outstanding Failover Reseller Hosting
Reseller Zoom is an offshoot of the popular Hosting Zoom hosting service. I was doing research on hosting services about 6 months ago when I came across two or three recommendations for the Reseller Zoom hosting service in the Digital Point Forums. I was looking for a new service because, let's face it, if you want to keep Google interrested, you need change. I moved most of my White Hat sites to Reseller Zoom, but I moved them because I wanted stability. My previous service was an "unlimited" hosting account which also provided my sites plenty of server downtime and I was constantly losing money during peak hours because of it.
Failover Hosting. Reseller Zoom has a Failover Reseller Hosting account which is extremely effective at keeping your site "UP" all the time. It has a great WHM/ cPanel account interface and you can even register additional Class "C" IP's which makes Google think all of your sites are on different accounts or servers. If you are wondering what Failover Hosting is, it means that the Hosting account has redundent servers that automatically switch when one server has an issue, allowing your site to stay online even when one server has a problem, the other servers ont he network pick it up. You will see at the site that they have accounts which are cheaper, but they don't provide the security that Failover Hosting does. I would recommend these other accounts to you, but I haven't used them so it's a gamble if you choose one of the other options there.
Great Customer Service. That is what I look for the most. When I have site issues, which ussually are my fault, it helps to have a hosting service which will actually help you as opposed to sending you to the "knowledge base" for answers. These guys get two thumbs up for that.
Plus, just as advertised, my sites have been operating 100% of the time since I jumped on this account several months ago. I normally won't recommend a hosting service unless I've actually used it and now that I have for so long, I figured it was time to provide one. I haven't given much thought to my hosting account and that is what oyu want. A service that is good enough that you can focus on your web business and not on the backend issues. And frankly, with Reseller Zoom, there have been no issues.
I don't like to list off features too much, but if you are interested in a Reseller or VPS type setup, this is a great hosting service for you. The account I have is the $24.95 a month Failover Reseller Hosting account with 10 GB of space. I will probably move up to the $39.95 a month account because I like the service and its reliability, but mainly because I need more space for more accounts.
If you actually want to resell account, than you can definitley make out here. They have several upsells for you to use with Sitestudio, account upgrades, etc. Plus, you can oversell on your accounts, which is a plus becasue you only get charged for what your customers actually use, not what you sell. Most people think they need unlimited space when most websites are just a few Megs at most.
The Bottom Line is this: If you want a reliable Reseller or VPS type hosting account which is reliable, has great cutomer service and an incredible slew of features, you should use Reseller Zoom Failover Reseller Hosting.
