F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What is so different between LinkWorth and the other linking programs available?

The difference between LinkWorth and other linking companies is simple: we offer the ability purchase inbound links without having to reciprocate. In addition, we offer many mediums of advertising and provide 24/7 monitoring of all your link advertising. Search engines prefer to see inbound links, and we provide this capability for our clients. We also offer our Partner websites the ability to place these links on their website and share the revenue paid by the Advertisers.

2. Is there any danger of the search engines banning your partner websites?

We hold strict link ethics for our Partners. We provide them with search engine compliant methods of placing links on their websites to ensure there is no reason for banishment. We closely follow all TOS (terms of service) rules with all major search engines.

3. What are Partners paid for placing links on their website?

All links are pre-paid to LinkWorth and the portion paid to Partners is held for up to 30 days to ensure the link remains on the website. (http://www.linkworth.com/ppay.php)

We do not limit Partners to one website. Partners have the ability to add as many websites as they wish. This allows them to make as much money possible and allows more locations for Advertisers to place links. Company check is the preferred method of payment.Company check is the preferred method of payment. We also accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, money orders, cashier's checks, and personal checks. All checks will require verification before the funds are available. Credit card charges are instant, so the funds are available once accepted.

Partner's are paid via Direct Deposit (US Only), Bank Wire Transfer (International Only), Paypal transfer or a mailed business check on a monthly basis.

8. Is your LinkRank the same thing as Google's PageRank?

NO. Our LinkRank has nothing to do with PageRank. If you know anything about PageRank, it is impossible to know their formula exactly. Our LinkRank is based solely on a website’s popularity on the internet and not based on a certain keyword or phrase. Furthermore, Google does not allow the selling of links based on their PageRank. Use our LinkRank Tool to determine your LinkRank.

9. Do Advertisers have to put a link on their website to Partner websites?

The sole purpose of LinkWorth is to allow Advertisers to have inbound links without putting outbound links. So "NO" they do not have to put reciprocating links on their website unless they choose to do so.

10. Is LinkWorth a guaranteed search engine placement service?

LinkWorth cannot guarantee results because the internet is constantly changing and because search engines are always changing their requirements. We can assure you that every link you receive from a Partner WILL increase your presence on the internet. This is a proven method, and we will continue to make changes as needed when needed.

11. How long does it take for LinkWorth to begin working?

Time is definitely the key to LinkWorth's service. Search engines typically make updates to their databases on a monthly basis and some take even longer. Each time they update, they will make notes of all back links to your website. Over time, usually 3-6 months, with continually adding links or maintaining multiple links, you will see huge changes in your internet presence.

12. If I am a Partner, do I have to allow every Advertiser link on my website?

No. As a Partner, you have the ability to approve or decline any ad request you receive. We do not force every link upon you, but the whole point of being a Partner is to place links on your website. As pointed out in our link ethics, we feel to be efficient, you must keep Advertiser links within your category and you should not allow more than our recommended number of links per one page.

13. Do you approve all text ad links and/or websites into your database?

We manually review every single Partner site and every single text link ad before we allow it into our database. We want to ensure that all links are valid, ethical, legal and within our requirements. The same goes with Partner websites. We want to be fair to all Advertisers and Partners, so, if we feel a link or website is not relevant, we will give the customer the chance to plead their case before deeming it unacceptable.If we find that a Partner website takes your link down for any reason beyond what we feel is fair or reasonable, the Advertiser will be refunded their money, and the Partner will not receive their percentage of that payment.

14. What happens if a Partner website takes my link down before the end of my term?

If we find that a Partner website takes your link down for any reason beyond what we feel is fair or reasonable, the Advertiser will be refunded their money, and the Partner will not receive their percentage of that payment.

15. What is your exact LinkRank formula?

That is proprietary information, and we do not feel it is necessary to release our formula that determines a website's LinkRank. We can tell you, though, that it is a logical formula that determines a particular website's popularity representative of the entire internet. Websites that hold more of a presence generally receive a higher number of visits and also receive a higher placement on search engines.

16. If I am an Advertiser, do I have to monitor all of my links every day?

Of course not. You can if you wish to spend your time doing so, but LinkWorth has a system that does this for you. Every Partner is monitored by our system spider and by our manual link checks on a daily basis. If a Partner takes your link down, we will know. Each link will have an "Active Since" section that will show you how long your link has been active on that Partner's website.

17. What if I am a Partner and my website loses connection due to my host?

We have a 2% allowance to all Partner's for a 30 day period. Your links have to remain up for 98% of the time during this period. If you fall below this percentage, you will be penalized 10% for every 1% you go under 98%. This money will be refunded to the Advertiser.

18. If a Partner falls below the 98% and an Advertiser is due a refund, how is the money paid?

If a refund is due to the Advertiser, we will issue a credit to their Advertising account. This can be used for future payments toward monthly link payments or for new link payments. Each Advertiser will see an "Account Balance" section showing whether or not they have any credit.

19. What is your refund policy?

We deem all payments as final. If you feel you deserve a refund, we will handle any refunds as a case by case situation. We understand anything can happen that would require a refund, so we listen to all situations and rule the decision after reviewing the circumstances.

20. What type of payments do you accept and how do you pay Partners?

Company check is the preferred method of payment. We also accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, money orders, cashier's checks, and personal checks. All checks will require verification before the funds are available. Credit card charges are instant so the funds are available once accepted.

Partner's are paid via Direct Deposit (US Only), Bank Wire Transfer (International Only), Paypal transfer or a mailed business check on a monthly basis.
