These links are direct links without the nofollow directive, allowing the client site to fully enjoy the search engine ranking benefit. We also made sure that there are less than 100 links on the page so that you can get proper SEO advantage from the link.

You don’t even need to have a website. Just claim a popular tag, then point it to an affiliate link to drive the traffic to your favorite merchants’ sites.

This website is remotely inspired by the concept of the ‘million dollar home page’ promoted by a British student but offers high quality text links arranged in a tag cloud like the ones on social bookmarking sites. The tags are randomly displayed and it is possible to highlight the tags with effects like bold, italics, color and mouseover text.

You should register your favorite tags quickly to avoid disappointment, as there are only 97 tags in total.

However I have serious reservations against this. The way respected Internet marketers are promoting it, it was bound to get popular and IMHO, it has already taken its toll. Today I noted that del.icio.us, the most popular social bookmarking site, has set all the links to “rel=nofollow” thereby implying that a link there will not pass any Pagerank to the target site. I am sure others will follow suit.

Of course, if you have a nice website, that may get endorsement from other other visitors to the social bookmarking site and this may send some visitors to your site. If this happens, these will be visitors interested in your products and you can actually hope to get some business from them.

Update: The system abusers have got onto their act and have created so much trouble already that the author of Tag and Ping had to issue a public warning for them to slow down. Tch-Tch.
