Imagine this, your one link, on a hundred websites, five hundred websites, a thousand websites. Sounds to good to be true?.. It is true. This is a brand new service, from a good friend of mine. After initial setup, there isbasically nothing you need to do. You don't have to check links every week or monthly, because they are still there. You don't have to surf around Internet looking and emailing for links. There are only two requirements. One,you have to be able to access your cgi-bin on your server. And second requirement is, you have to like money. Honest, that is all that is required. Let me briefly explain how system works. You signup, and create your link that you want for your site. Instantly, your link is transmitted to all themembers sites. You don't have to wait a week, or a month, it is almost as fast as blinking your eyes. Whenever a new member signs up, same holds true for them. Their link will automatically show up on your links page also. Now, here is best part. You can actually make money from your links page. You can charge whatever amount you want, for a paid advertiser on your site. You get to keep all money. You can also put Google AdSense Ads and Click Bank Ads on yoursite. Your link page will also have a search engine on it, for people to use.So they don't have to ever leave your site, while surfing. You also get paid if someone should sign up for service, thru your website. There is another service sort of similar to this on Internet, but they don't have all "extras" that Shared Link Traffic has. Plus they are more than double price. You are probably saying right now, "ok how much does this cost?" Before I tell you, make sure you are sitting down.. you have your seat belt on, brace yourself now... it is only $3.98. Thats right, only $3.98 per month, and you are not tied into any long term contracts or anything. You can find out more by visiting Shared Link Traffic and clicking on Join button.
