LinkWorth Review

 LinkWorth
          Logo

LinkWorth is an online marketing portal that offers many different mediums of advertising as well as other online marketing products and services. For the purposes of this review we will be discussing LinkWorth from a publisher’s perspective. LinkWorth is one of over a hundred such programs we review on experienced-people.co.uk.

LinkWorth’s publishers, called “partners” throughout the network’s site, are offered nine different products through LinkWorth’s partner product suite. From these products, six are ad products for publishers to directly monetize the content of their sites.

The LinkAds product is a standard text link ads service, the LinkBanner product is a typical IAB banner ads service and the LinkInText program offers in-text ads. They also offer in-content PPC ads through their LinkWords product.

Apart from the familiar ad options we discussed above, LinkWorth also offers two more unique ad products. LinkMura is a service that displays multi-URL rotating ads from different publishers while the LinkBB product gives publishers the option to host sponsored content as hosted content ads on their websites and decide the price themselves.

Revenue share is 50% for every ad product, even the hosted content ads for which publishers set the price themselves. Publishers have the ability to filter ad offers and are also given numerous options on how to setup their ad products, ranging from auto-updated scripts to fully manual ad publishing. Moreover, tech-savvy publishers are given many advanced customization options. That degree of freedom is usually welcome among publishers who are looking to optimize the look and feel of their ads and is reflected on the positive reviews on LinkWorth.

LinkWorth sports a praiseworthy customer support center that is both extremely easy to navigate and truly covers every possible topic including from clearly stated payout terms, great FAQs and direct contact with the network’s tech support through three different media; support account, support ticket and live support!

LinkWorth also features a useful official blog that (mostly) skips hype and focuses mainly on relevant and useful topic for the network’s advertisers and partners.

In our opinion, trying to be an all-rounder online marketing center with a viable ad network to boot is no small endeavor and LinkWorth may look like they are overstretching themselves with the multitudes of services and ad products they offer. However they seem to perform decently overall and utilizing their numerous products can work synergistically, if you are willing to put all your eggs in one basket.

Finally and regardless of anything else, a big plus for LinkWorth is their spotless customer support center as well as the detailed descriptions of how their network functions; something missing from many other ad networks.
