I got 3 requests from the last 2 days about buying advertising space on this blog and 2 of them were via email and 1 was via yahoo messenger and i had to reject their offers because after this october page rank update and page rank reupdate iam totally against people trying to buy/sell text link ads on their websites.
The reason for this is Google is not accepting webmasters selling text link ads to boost serps[search engine result page results] and buy/sell text link for the sake of PR[page rank] gain. You can always advertise on this blog via adwords by selecting the CPM advertising section but iam no way interested in selling text link to other website owners/ advertisers who are looking for PR juice from this website.
This also includes a clear cut No to paid reviews on my blog , since iam seriously not interested in making money from the advertisers who are looking for backlinks from paid reviews, because many websites did these mistakes and finally got nuked by google in the last page rank update
Here is a small list of the websites which got penalised in the october page rank update

The above list is a clear example of what iam talking about and the google penalty on buying/selling text link adverts on your websites. Instead of selling text link ads check out other options which help you monetise your websites like –
So guys make note of this and stop selling Text link ads on your websites now!
You are right …… now lets stop this bs business and start doing no BS business 😀
@ Aditya Kumar Singh – Aren’t you the first person who was shouting against text link sellers :D?
I absolutely agree, mate. Let’s focus on content, original services, et cetera, as this is what makes the real $$$ rather than obsessing about PR and selling/buying links.
By the way, you might want to fix the adbrite advert that’s on the bottom right … the text is hardly visible.
Right said paul content is the king always.
I would like to change the adbrite ads’s font but since its run on some other sites too , a single change would change all the ads. I guess i need to do something about it later. 🙂
Well I am really not against selling links, But Google really dominates the search. So I think that we have no option but to abide.
after JohnChow getting PR4 I feel really upset about this… But i m excited seeing my AbhishekSpeaks.com getting PR3 in first update and this is just 30days old site 🙂 but still i have worked a lot on it to get this PR and my work is rewarded well.. By GoOgLe!!!

U should still use reviewme b’coz paid reviews r not for links there…make links nofollow

Giving a link to a quality site is never a issue as i think…. & I think Amit understands this as he is giving free dofollow links to his commentors 🙂 and reviewing is a paid income to blogger and he can give a link to their site wholeheartedly i guess…

m with abhishek,Giving a link to a quality site is never a issue.aleways suport good,my funda of life
Ehm, its a good idea. But i still sell it in my other site. Not in my blog. Its rally give me some dollar..:D
Like jai said …”Giving a link to a quality site is never a issue”
if we are the readers of a blog and we wud like to add their link on our blog… then we can get penalise for this ??? G will think it as a paid link ..right ? how can it differentiate between frds links and paid links ?
I really dont have any problem regarding this because, I dint register to text link ads, but thank you for the notification because I decided to register to text link ads. if i did this, my blog is page rank 0 blog, it might not hava acquired a pge rank at all.
But i really dont know why google does all these selfish things regarding payperpost and text link ads.
