In this post i will describe a new way on getting back-links. The first method is placing links on a so called “word cloud site”. A word cloud site is a website where you can buy a word (ore a phrase) for cheap and use this word to link your website. The word will be the anchor text of your link and a limited number of words will be sold on that single page (usually between 50 and 500, less words means more value for your link). The first word cloud sites gave you only the opportunity to choose one of their words and to link it to your site but the newer scripts allow you to suggest a keyword you want to use as anchor text, to “supersize” your link, to color it, to chose an “Alt-text” and so on, but you will have to pay for each single feature. Considering that these kind of pages usually don’t reach a lot of visitors and that you are buying these links just to increase your link popularity, always take the default link. (Instead of getting 1 supersized and colored link on 1 page you will be able to get 5-6 links on different pages)

The inventor of the cloud tags made 50.000$ in 2 weeks with www.500words.com . He sold 500 words on his website at a price of 100$ each and after he realized how big the word cloud site business was, he started selling phrases on a second website and selling the script to create such sites (if you are planning to make a word cloud site to earn some money don’t buy Linksizzler’s script beacuse there are cheaper ones and even free ones out there, just make some searchs trough google for “word cloud scripts).

Let’s get back to word cloud back-links. A link is a link, keep that in mind. Word cloud sites will not be content related to your site (that means that a word cloud link will not be worth like a real back-link on a content related site) because they usually sell links for a few bucks and some of them accept even casino and medicine sites (avoid them). Not all word cloud sites are bad. Some of them have a good Page rank, are well promoted and are cheap! A basic PR 4 link (with basic i mean a standard link with default color, default text size and no other extra features) won’t cost more than 2-3$, many sites are selling them even for less than 1$. You will be also able to find PR5 links under 5$ and PR6 links under 10$!

Most of these sites sell only “life time links”, that means your link will stay there for the whole life of the website ( I heard about some “bad word cloud sites” out there that are erasing all the links once their page is full so you should make a list of all sites you submitted a link to and check them regularly for your back-link).

In many forums you will came across people that say that word cloud pages have the same value as FFA link pages but that’s not true. Just go on a word cloud page and press the refresh button in your browser and you will see that the words will be displayed in a different order every time you refresh it. That means that the page will have a different content every time it will be spidered by a search engine or reached by a human visitor.

CONCLUSIONS:

A link on a PR6 word cloud page has not the same value of a link placed on a website with PR6 and content related to yours but consider that you will have to pay 20-60$/month to get a good PR6 link and that you will pay, on some sites, less than 10 bucks for permanent PR6 link.

Here is a final tip on how you can find word cloud sites instead of going to read the forums or spend hours in searching them using the wrong keywords just Google this phrase: (”total words available” “remaining” “sold”). Searching for the exact phrase in the parenthesis will give you a list of results containing most of all indexed word loud pages. That’s because most of the word cloud sites include these 3 terms ;)
