TextToChat – Facebook Goes MLM (huh?)

by Mark E. Mason on February 1, 2009

OK -- I got the most interesting email request yesterday.

There is a new application on Facebook called TextToChat.  What is does is allow people that can see your Facebook profile the ability to "chat" with you via cell phone text messaging.  The person contacting you from Facebook sees a web-based chat application, and you communicate with them via text message.

Curious about the app, I installed it.  Now, let me tell you up front that it costs $6/month -- more on that later.  I tested it briefly.  Unfortunately, it did not work for me.  I could receive texts, but not reply to them from my phone.  Bummer -- because it was actually pretty neat.  I think it is a pretty cool idea for an application.

Because of the fact that it did not work for me, I am not promoting the application.  In fact, I canceled it.  Of course, the application is new, and I am sure that the problem is either on my end, or it will be fixed soon.

But, you might like it.  If you do, you can join through the guy that referred me. Read the Full Article →

Is It OK To Buy Backlinks?

by Mark E. Mason on November 24, 2008

Jon Leger just moved his 1WayLinks tool from beta to full production.  As most people know, back links are incredibly important in Google (the Google search engine was initially called "back rub" for this reason).   In fact, you may recall a post I recently made about a site that I accidentally got to Page Rank 2 without content using only really weak back links.

Jon's 1WayLinks product promises to give subscribers hundreds of back links per month (750 or more) for a monthly fee.  As a subscriber, you can choose the anchor text and the URL.  It's a very cool service, and like all of Jon's products, superbly run.  I am a member, and if you are looking for back links, I recommend it.   It works great in conjunction with his 3WayLinks product.

However, it this OK?  Is it OK to buy back links like this?
