What is GolferLynks?
GolferLynks allows advertisers to list their site in our search engine and receive visitors at a cost-per-click basis, as low as $.01 per click. Our service is much more cost effective than other advertising methods because our service is highly targeted. Instead of having your banner show up randomly on different sites and hoping people will click your link, surfers visit our site looking for specific content using keywords that relate to your website or business, just like any other search engine. This method of advertising is one of the most effective methods of increasing your sales conversion rate (i.e. number of visitors VS. number of sales). GolferLynks.com lets your advertising dollar go much further and accurately than traditional means.

How much does it cost and how many visitors will I receive?
Signing up is free and your new account will be credited $25 to start bidding on keywords. You must bid at least $.01 for each keyword you list. Traffic to your site from GolferLynks may depend on many factors. For example, the more targeted your keywords are, the higher the quality of traffic to you website. Which means a higher sales rate for whatever you may be selling. We provide a tool in the control panel that allows you to research keyword popularity so you can choose your listings with much more accuracy.
 

How does your ranking system work?
All ranking is based on advertiser bids.

For example:
Lets say you bid on the keyword phrase 'online casino' for one penny ($.01). When a GolferLynks visitor searches for 'online casino' your website would come up at the very top in the search results. Then if someone else were to bid more then one penny for the keyword phrase 'online casino' then your site would be listed just one position below the person who out bid you for that keyword. So, the highest bidder for a specific keyword will always receive the highest ranking for that specific keyword, and lower bidders' listings will appear under the highest bidder in descending order of their bid amount.

How many keywords can I bid on?
As many as you would like. There is no limit to the amount or type of keywords you can bid on.
 

How exactly is my account balance used?
Every time a visitor clicks on a link to your site after searchching with a keyword you have bid on, the bid amount for the keyword used to find your site will be automatically deducted from your account.
 

Can I withdraw money out of my pay-per-click account after depositing?
No. At this time, all deposits are non-refundable.
