Selling text links is one of the most popular home based businesses. This type of work is fast becoming a regular source of income for many who have the knack of creating good websites. Bloggers are also finding their monthly income adding up by selling text links. The more popular your website or blog is, more money selling links can bring you. For many it has become an additional source of income.

If majority of your work is online you can reap benefits of earning additional money if you start to sell links. You can opt to look for individual buyers for selling your text links or you can use portals that act as a mediator. They bring together people interested in buying and selling links. This might have an additional cost for you as some portals charge for the services provided but as the same time there are many advantages.

The most obvious advantage of selling links through portals is that you can access a large base of buyers and can evaluate multiple offers before selecting the final one. The other advantage is in terms of avoiding fake or scam buyers as many portals screen these buyers before they become members of such services. You also get an advantage of selling your links through an organized platform. Most buyers search for links through keywords and Page Ranks and if you are selling text links through this platform you can reach the right type of buyers for your links. In certain portals there are various resellers that buy your links and offer a good commission.

If the staff employed by such website/portal is good, they will also help you in selling your text links. Whether you go for selling your text links to individual buyer or through portals, keep in mind that the value of your text link is not just determined by the page rank of your website, popular back links and other statistics. The position of the text link that you are selling also matters. The ones on top and middle of the pages or prime side bars will fetch more money whereas the ones in bottom corners will be low paying text links.

You can also make some money by selling links on low page rank web pages if they are a part of a popular website. Whatever be your offer, make sure that you make a good selling proposition for your text links that can attract buyers who want to buy text links from good relevant pages, so their website can benefit from them.
