LinkXL provides private, automated contextual advertising text links between and advertiser and a publisher. These text links are placed and managed utilizing a patented technology that eliminates any footprint to be seen by a search engine spider or human eye therefore providing a natural linking experience.
Google AdSense was the first major contextual advertising program. It worked by providing webmasters with JavaScript code that, when inserted into web pages, called up relevant advertisements from the Google inventory of advertisers. The relevance was calculated by a separate Google bot that indexed the content of the page.
Since the advent of AdSense, the Yahoo! Publisher Network, Microsoft adCenter, LinkXL and others have been gearing up to make similar offerings.
Contextual advertising has made a major impact on earnings of many websites. As the ads are more targeted they are more likely to get clicked, thus generating revenue for the owner of the website (and the server of the advertisement). A large part of Google’s earnings are from their share of the contextual ads served on the millions of webpages running the Adsense program.
