• Expenses are 10 % of turnover, plus advertisement  costs

• You can check this out on the right >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
• Yet we have thousands of pages
• Quotes can fluctuate but Value of pages increases with take ups
• This is a flourishing industry, to which we are introducing a major new concept which has massive advantages for the paymaster in the industry, the advertiser
• And this is just one income stream, albeit the major one.

Text Links are a popular source of income for webmasters. Put simply it means businesses advertise on other websites for publicity. It is a flourishing industry and some webmasters can be paid as much as £10,000 for a page.

The system is generally handled by a broker, the webmaster is called the publisher, The  third party, the advertiser

However I maintain that a valuation on its own is of little significance to us.

We want to shift them not shelf them. So for the first year we will accept 10 % of the quoted price. In effect a 90 % discount,

knowing full well that the very take up of pages will increase the value the next year.

 However, I suggest the second year 40 %. The third 50 %.

Disadvantages to Advertiser of present system

and our answers in blue.

• Advertiser has to surf various brokers websites looking for the right links

• Price is 90 % below market rates

• Has to accept publishers petty restrictions eg: Text link not more than 25 words, placement bottom of page

• No editorial restrictions, full page if wanted

• Usually short term agreements, one week, one month, six months

• One year agreements, subsequent year charges are made clear.
