Testimonials

"Hi Bob,

I've already welcomed half a dozen new members who came directly from your homepage, and the link hasn't been up for a week yet!  I would recommend your homepage to anyone who has a way of generating more money with his/her site:  as you can target very specific words, you get very targeted visitors who already have an idea about what to find on your site, and it works!

"Hi Bob,

Great site and a great concept to generate targeted traffic to your site. In less then 12 hours I received already 12 clicks on my word phrase. When I do the math, that will be 8,760 highly targeted visitors in the first year alone!

I know I can easily convert way more then 1% of this kind of traffic into paying customers for split testing... but even if I only estimate that 1% will, buy... in the first year alone my word phrase on your site could earn me at least US $1,289.34! And again, that's for the first year alone...

Can I buy a specific place in the Word Cloud?

No.  The board is random every time the screen refreshes.  This is to keep the site interesting as well as to be fair to all advertisers. 

Who is responsible for these Word Clouds?

Word Clouds are an evolution of the pixel advertising idea and are similar to Tags pages.  However, unlike most pixel advertising sites, where you link a small picture to your website, Word Clouds allow you to link a textual keyword to your website.  Search Engines love text more than images right now.  Also, typical pixel pages (but not all) have size restrictions with very large boards.  For some ads, this means its easy to get obscured. 

With Word Clouds, the keyword stands out.  You choose optional color, size, and font for your word, making it different than the words its next to.

The term Word Cloud itself may not have been invented by him, but the first prominent Word Cloud site is www.500words.com, created by internet marketing legend and Adsense Guru, Joel Comm.
