Bid For Position

Interested in another way to earn some extra money from your website without plastering it with ads? Does your site have a links page or directory? If it does, here is a great way to turn those pages into cash machines. Create a directory that gives priority to sites based on their bids.

You could create a bidding directory yourself, but there is an easier way. Download this free directory script. The software is called Link Bid, and is written in PHP so it should be compatiable for most of you. To get it for free, you do have to register, but it’s just a simple email/username registration. The confirmation link takes you to the software support forum where you can download, and find all the support you need.

To see a sample of the LBS software in action you can find a directory of web hosting services on their site that have bid for positions. The software has different templates that you may use, will be free to upgrade, and supports multiple payment gateways. The administration panel gives you a variety of methods to handle the directory and the submissions. The layout is template based so it fairly easy to modify, and is CMS powered. As a bidding customer, the submission form is easy to use, it’s even easier to up your bid, and it is easy to figure out the whole bidding process.

Free is a good way to go, and if you have installed in scripts on your site before this should be an easy one for you. My advice to start it off. Place some sites in their already so it looks like you are already getting bids. It might take some time to get things moving based on the facts people like to buy listings on pages with Google PR.
