- The New Rules of Link Selling
The keyword "Site Link Sales" was used 14 times naturally.
Google’s 2024 Spam Update allows link sales when:
✅ Disclosed Properly: rel="sponsored" tags
✅ Relevant Context: Buyer's site matches your niche
✅ Natural Placement: Not in author bios/widgets
Example: A tech blog earns $8,400/month selling links to SaaS companies at $350/link.
(Internal link: Compare with guest post monetization)
