Fun with TLA’s Link Worth Calculator.

Posted by stuart as

I was mucking about with Text Link Ads Link Worth Calculator today, and discovered something interesting.

It would appear that the code-monkeys over at TLA have a sense of humour.

Text Link Ads Link Worth Calculator calculates the supposed value of a text link on a given website. Simply type in the URL, and a couple of other variables, and it uses PR, Alexa rank and whatever other factors they’ve come up with to determine the value of a link.

Where it gets fun is when you type in the URL’s of some of the “biggie” websites. A good place to get a list of sites to try is Alexa’s top 500 list.

Here are a few of the responses:

Microsoft.com - More than you can afford
Google.com - Fuh-get about it!
Yahoo.com - Haha, Very Funny
qq.com - Priceless!
live.com - We Can’t Print That Many Zeros
Blogger.com - More Than You Can Afford

Then try text-link-ads.com, and you get:

And last but not least - Try msn.com, and you get this:

Gold!
