TagsPage: Another million dollar idea

Posted in Computers & Technology, Optimization, SEO, Web 2.0 by Elliott Back on July 19th, 2006.

More in the spirit of Web 2.0 than the infamous Million Dollar Homepage, Tags Page offers webmasters a chance to promote their website by association with a textual tag. The SEO benefits are obvious, as you receive a high-quality backlink on a particular term. But, the site may also provide value to other users, as it serves as a for profit directory of sorts. Even just browsing its front page is interesting:

For those who aren’t interested in spending money for their site promotion, there are two ways to add your site for free:

  • Add to their free tags list
  • Write a review of the site from a high-profile blog

If you think it’s not for you, think again. The client list include Engadget, CSS Empire, Moo.fx, and Emily Chang. You can get 50% off by using coupon code “tagspage”!

    I’m not sure how useful this would be for search engines. I wonder since anyone visiting the website (including Google human site reviewers) can see that its all paid links on the homepage. And with a PR5-6 on the other pages spread across thousands of links you probably aren’t gaining much. Food for thought.

    I wish I had the idea first, thank you

    I bought one tag on tagspage. But I’m a bit dubious about the effect it can make.SE certainly knows it has a lot of outbound links.
    tagspage does have a Pagerank 6(not 7 as it claims).Don’t forget use a 50% down coupon(like ‘JohnTP’) if you wanna get a place on tagspage.

  14. Amy says:

    I’ve checked you site, Phill.
    It’s nice, but your page rank is still very low. You should do something to make it more popular.

    Another problem is that it loads a bit to slow, and it’s not even close to being full of ads. You can imagine what will happen when it’s be full, if you don’t change something.

    However, I really like the ideea.

    do u know how they fake their pagerank?

  17. Pieter says:

    Too bad they are just faking their PageRank. Although they market with PageRank 7, they only have a pagerank of 0-4. This means that if you place a link on their website, you actually lower your own Pagerank.
    So, better not add a tag, or you won’t just loose your money ;-)

  18. [...] The Tags Page, and more about it here Alexa Ranking: 58,935 Back Story: Nobody with a heart wrenching story to share unfortunately. The people behind this are anonymous as far as I can tell. They have a tiered system with free tags on PR 6 pages and $x per characters in a PR 7 home page. And as you can see from the posted photo above, I am a proud resident of one of their free tag PR 6 pages for one year! Current Take: Hard to tell given the relatively complex tiered pricing approach and free pages thrown in [...]
