BlogRolled.com – Make Money Blogging With Blogrolls


blogrolled

Just when you though the act of blogrolling is dead, a new service like BlogRolled.com appears and pumps life back into it. In fact, this service allows your to make money from your blogrolls.

Essentially, what you’re doing is selling your blogrolls to advertisers, which makes it similar in theory to Text Link Ads or any other text links brokering service.

Here’s how it works:

As an advertiser, it’s an easy process. We have an inventory of publishing sites available to you which you can search, sort through, and find publishers related to your product or service. Once you have found a listing you like, enter the details for your site and then checkout. Within a few business days of making the purchase, the selected publisher will place your ad live on their site.

As a publisher, it’s just as easy. Once an advertiser makes a purchase from your listing, you will be notified of the sale. Once you’ve received the notification, you will be asked to place the ad on your site into your blogroll. Done. That’s it!

When you sign-up, you need to add a code like this to your blog: 

Then, you’ll start getting advertisers links showing up automatically, and at the end of the month you get paid via Paypal. So how much can you make?

I submitted this blog, and it looks like the price for a blogroll here is $140.

It seems at the moment, the pricing is determined by

  1. Alexa rankings
  2. Google PageRank and
  3. RSS subscribers count.

Before you apply, make sure you have your Feedburner stats showing, as they say “RSS rank may only be known if you have your a Feedburner image on your site.”

I’m seething with jealousy as I had a similar idea, but not enough resources to get it done.

Now lets get into the question someone will definitely ask:

Won’t Google penalize my website for selling text links?

Although BlogRolled.com says NO, I believe it’s no different than from selling a text link, so do it carefully if you’re worried that Google will come after you, kidnap your kids and set your home on fire.

If links are using the “No Follow” tags or encrypted, then as ad advertiser I don’t get the “Google Juice” it would not be worth buying the blogrolls anyway.

    Interesting, but I’d imagine this comes under the same category as “Paid for links” (in Google’s opinion) doesn’t it?

  2. Seree on June 18th, 2008 1:48 pm

    Wow!

    This look like a very good service for blogger.

    I’ve to try it now.

    Anyway, thanks you for sharing this resource!

    Cheers!

  5. colbert on June 18th, 2008 1:53 pm

  6. exinco on June 18th, 2008 1:53 pm

    must try this one. the old program seems like dead. btw my feed burner subscriber was low.

  7. Gobala Krishnan on June 18th, 2008 1:59 pm

    Actually this one is about YOU making money. If only you bothered to read first.

  8. Epiphany on June 18th, 2008 2:15 pm

    Thanks Gobala! :-) This one just might fly under the radar for a bit since the links will go under “blogroll” instead of “sponsored links” or a similar “paid link” flag. I guess we’ll see.

  9. Don on June 18th, 2008 2:22 pm

    well selling links on your blogroll is a new concept and using another thing to sort these is a bit…hmmm, personally i like the idea of monetizing the blogroll but i rather use something OIO-plugin to deal with all add issues etc

  10. lankapo on June 18th, 2008 2:36 pm

    hehe are sure Uncle G will not sniff this. They are everywhere, coz I will report this site to Google hehe

    just kidding :)

    we will see how long it will takes

    Sounds Good to me! :D

  12. Zamri Nanyan on June 18th, 2008 3:00 pm

    If selling ads from a service like text-link-ads.com is something you like, definitely this one will complement.

    I think lots of bloggers have a happy smile on their face after hearing this news from Blogrolled.

  13. Home Biss on June 18th, 2008 3:08 pm

    I have taken a look at it and I’m not at all impressed with it. The site was done in a hurry leaving lots of loose ends about its money making service.

    It is just another link brokering site anyway and you know how much Google hates sites selling and buying links. Sure, you can make money by selling links for a while but you will lose everything once Google slaps you in the face. :-)

  14. Philip on June 18th, 2008 3:19 pm

    looks good! Enough money to buy an island :)

    just kidding :)

  15. jamesquak on June 18th, 2008 3:24 pm

    This service sounds quite new to me. I think is very hard for the little blogger like me really make money from Blogrolled.com because I don’t think my blog was so popular to others to visit.

  16. Hanifa K. Cook on June 18th, 2008 3:41 pm

    “Although BlogRolled.com says NO, I believe it’s no different than from selling a text link, so do it carefully if you’re worried that Google will come after you, kidnap your kids and set your home on fire.” the taste of the pudding is in the eating, for anyone who wants to play, good on you, you’re the brave lot.

  17. sagbee on June 18th, 2008 4:02 pm

    thats seem like interesting idea, ( duhh i havent got that idea… ) however Google wont like to see casino and adult links to every other personal blogs… hope blogrolled will be take care of “Relevance links” only

  18. Alfonso on June 18th, 2008 4:58 pm

    Thanks Gobala and I’m going join now!

  19. John Martel on June 18th, 2008 7:08 pm

    Thanks for the heads up, this looks like an interesting service. (Sure beats being Rick Rolled – LOL).

    I have my doubts though as far as the paid links and Google goes. I really don’t think it’s such a big deal having a link, even a paid one… but if the links are pulled right from BlogRolled.com and that fact is obvious, then I see a potential problem. If they just pulled a file down to the users server and the links then loaded from each site, it’s a useful and powerful service in my opinion.

  20. Ben on June 18th, 2008 10:07 pm

    That’s interesting, will give it a try :)

  21. Monika Mundell on June 19th, 2008 12:26 am

    @ Gobala: This spells trouble for sure with the Google gods. I reckon early birds might just get away with it for now, but in the end, Google will go after them too, just like with TLA.

    I certainly keep my hands off. Justifying my PR isn’t what I have in mind after all the hard work to get it in the first place.

  22. xaer8 on June 19th, 2008 12:29 am

    Are we gonna be banned by google for this? Hahaha.. i’d like to try anyway. Thanks for the info.

  23. Aperd1 on June 19th, 2008 2:14 am

    Erm, neat but does it pay as google? Anyone had tested it before?

    Why other’s if google is the advert king….

  24. Ruzie on June 19th, 2008 2:44 am

    This sounds great, Mr. Gobala! But for a newbie still struggling with my way around, I’ll just keep this in mind for now.

    As a faithful follower to all your guides, I’m sure I’ll get there in no time!

    Thank you for the heads up!

  25. mossavi on June 19th, 2008 4:27 am

    Will explore. Thanks.

  26. Chicken Say on June 19th, 2008 4:36 am

    there r too many of them out there…quite competitive nowadays…

  27. Mohd Nor Jamil on June 19th, 2008 6:34 am

    Its a great news. Thanks for sharing. I will indeed try it.

  28. Joan on June 19th, 2008 8:29 am

    Amazing what people come up with. Like someone said in an earlier post, they might be profitable in the short term but Google will catch onto them eventually. Better to stay with tried and tested methods me thinks!

  30. Internet Marketing Blog on June 19th, 2008 10:44 am

    Hmm.. very interesting. Thanks… but won’t this leave footprints and alert Google or the search engines?

  31. Kay Kastum on June 19th, 2008 10:46 am

    My PR has gone down the drain from 3 anyway… this is cool. I signed up last night and already got approved today… but nowhere close to yours though… $140.00! Groovy!

  32. The concept behind Blogging on June 19th, 2008 11:07 am

    Hi readers n posters Ive just added a simualar service that’s new to Googles blogger (Show off your favorite blogs with a Blog List)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY5cMEOl9Js
    this system your showing here would work really well with what google has now adding as a blogroll Blog List

    All my best to you and your blogging

  33. Sandi on June 19th, 2008 3:59 pm

    I see too many drawbacks but I would like to know how many people do well in this. It is too new to determine how this will affect websites and the effect on rankings.

  34. Tony on June 19th, 2008 4:38 pm

    This looks quite risky. If one of the criteria for rating a blog is Google PR then what happens if Google indeed penalize bloggers for engaging in this link sale. The blogger will loose both ways. No more PageRank from Google, and Advertisers won’t advertise anymore. I guess I will watch to see Google’s reaction first before taking the leap.

    Thanks for sharing anyway. Cheers.

  35. Pete Balasch Jr. on June 19th, 2008 9:34 pm

    Think this will pay more than Google then may bee its worth a shot. Hopefully some day there will be something better than Google.

  36. Marmie on June 20th, 2008 12:46 am

    This seems to be a good one. An additional income source for bloggers. I have no blog set up yet so this will be on my to do list.

  37. Steve on June 26th, 2008 1:58 pm

    I actually am pretty good friends with the SEO consultant who started Blogrolled.com. I know they have a lot invested in it to protect their Publishers, so I hope it goes well for them.

  38. aronil on July 3rd, 2008 4:40 pm

    I’ve seen this around a few times.. but it didn’t hold my interest too much until just.. hmm i may give it a shot and see how it works.

  39. Reccemaster on August 7th, 2008 4:01 pm

    Hmm. Good idea; I went and signed up immediately and found that my Blog was only worth $5.00. Its only been up about 3 weeks and am still learning how to promote it. Any ideas how alexa and google rankings can be built up?

    [...] Biasanya harga dari program ini juga tergantung kepada ke-tiga hal terakhir diatas. Semakin baik ke-tiga faktor tersebut maka akan semakin tinggi harga yang ditawarkan dan semakin besar kemungkinan anda mendapatkan advertiser. Anda bisa melihat contohnya disini. [...]

  41. sapimoto on August 13th, 2008 7:04 am

    It’s a real interesting program, but I don’t have a PR and my Alexa Rank is to high at now…

  42. IT Buzz on April 24th, 2009 6:26 pm

    It revealed that earnings from blog won’t gonna end :) Thanks for sharing cool information.
