Triggit - In-Text Advertising you should Use

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Posted 10/30/08

Last night, I checked into an ad-links service called Triggit that so far I really like. You may have heard of sites like Kontera and Infolinks or at least seen the links pop up on people's sites. Some of the other ad-link sites use double underlined, semi-spammy looking links that hardly blend into your content. There are obvious pluses and minuses to these, but Triggit definitely goes more on the conservative side, which is what I like.

Easy Sign-up and Install

To sign-up, you need about 2 minutes. It's a click, a mini-form filled out, a quick script installed, and finished off with some simple payment information. I'm actually not sure that I've found anything easier to install than this.

What Should you Expect?

Supposedly the service actually reads what you've got on your page and then fully blends its links into your text. In fact, you almost can't tell that the links are installed on your site unless you hover over one and see that it has a "triggit" URL attached. There is no weird pop-up or big bold double underline; it just matches your other links perfectly.

How does it Pay?

Still pending on this one...

It should pay similar to the other ad-link services, but without having used it for more than a few hours, I really have no idea. Hopefully within the next month I can report on earnings and if its blended links really work.

Oh, and the best part? There doesn't seem to be any form of approval, so ANYONE can sign up for it.

Hey, I saw Triggit at TheYBF.com but it was so so slow... the ads were stuck and the whole website got stuck...

I will be interested to see how it goes for you. I love Infolinks and have to say kontera sucks for making money.

I'm interested to see too as this morning I'm not actually noticing any of their links...I'll keep you updated.

Kellex, thanks for the great review. We look forward to seeing how Triggit works for you. Keep the great feedback coming.

I just got tricked into clicking a triggit link on another site and thought of this post. The triggit link took me to a spammy search results page. I think it wouldn't take long to destroy a site's credibility by disrespecting users like that. I haven't seen any triggit links on your site, but I wouldn't recommend using it.

It definitely does take you to a spammy looking search page and I was hoping that it had other sites to redirect you to.

I appreciate the feedback, as that was one of my concerns.

I do have some on here though, they are just blended in or something...
