97Tags.com Introduces Sponsored Tags With Direct Links Offering Distinct SEO Advantage

June 30, 2006; 03:02 AM

Social networking and tagging are the hottest trends in the present time. While there are hundreds or even thousands of entries under a tag in these sites, 97tags.com has introduced a novel concept allowing a website owner to exclusively own a tag so that a click on the tag takes the visitor directly to the sponsoring website.

These links are direct links without the nofollow directive, allowing the client site to fully enjoy the search engine ranking benefit. "There are lesser than 100 links on the page so that the clients can get proper SEO advantage from the link", reported Arun Agrawal. "You don't even need to have a website. Just claim a popular tag, then point it to an affiliate link to drive the traffic to your favorite merchant's site", he added.

The promoters of the site are utilizing a multi-media approach of incoming links, press releases, RSS feeds and blogs to make the 97tags.com site popular and make it worthwhile for the tag owners to own a tag here.

Some of the tags have already been taken. CTS Wholesale sunglasses acquired 'sunglasses.' Organic Rice Protein has taken 'nutrition'. "The prospective investors should register their favorite tags and add links quickly to avoid disappointment, as there are only 97 tags in total," commented Abhishek Rungta.

This website is remotely inspired by the concept of the 'million dollar home page' promoted by a British student but offers high quality text links arranged in a tag cloud like the ones on social bookmarking sites. The tags are randomly displayed and there are options to highlight the tags with effects like bold, italics, color and mouseover text.

"We plan to introduce several niche sites with similar basic concept in the near future and will give preference to those who have invested in 97tags," signed off Arun and Abhishek.
