I’m not here to say this is right or that is wrong, what I would like to do is reach out to those who have problems and see if we could maybe address common situations that our customers might have problems with. Now do understand that we are still set to launch a second version of our control center by year’s end. This means there are many areas that need to be upgraded, and will be, but we may not get to them right away. We DEFINITELY want to hear from our customers with suggestions that would make your experiences better.
One big addition that we’re working on is tutorials on how to do most common functions. We’ll have written instructions that will go up first, then we’ll be adding video tutorials for those who like watching how things are done.
Please add your comments below and we’ll do our best to add your suggestions. If it is something that we might not get to right away, we’ll let you know, but we’ll do our best to make everyone happy. 
PS. Did I mention GO COWBOYS!!!!! GIANTS WHO?

The new dashboard is much easier for me now. However, I think the folks get a bit puzzled due to the products names. I am still trying to remember the different products and their names. I wrote a simple tutorial to share with my friends and told them to remember by the colours.

Thanks, LinkWorth! It is currently my highest income earner.
I approved the ad and it went away.
got it you your email as not showing so I posted it
does not show up as paid or listed or approved.
as a publisher I don’t need or want all these advertiser buttons…….
I have passed on three or four ads due to difficulty understanding the procedure.
Paul, your reply is a bit confusing to me. This sounds more like a technical issue and not a way for us to improve our new control center.
You mentioned not wanting advertiser buttons? They will only appear if you select to be an advertiser or a combo account.
I would suggest opening a support ticket so we can see your account and maybe understand what you’re having problems with. Thank you..
Thank you Lilian! Yes, we get the product name topic from time to time. It’s one of those things where if we called them “text link ads” or “sponsored reviews” or “in-text ads” … not only will people tell us we’re not very creative or original with our naming scheme, but others already use those names and we like to brand our own unique, creative names
LinkAds - It’s an Ad with a Link
LinkWords - We link unique words which direct people to an advertisers page.
LinkInTxt - you purchase keywords and add a link to the word that is inside existing text
LinkSura - this one is tricky, but it’s simply an acronym - Single Url Rotating Ad (SURA)
LinkMura - this is just like above, an acronym - Multiple Url Rotating Ad (MURA)
LinkBB - a bulletin board ad, or some call it a hosted content page. LinkBB is easier to say.
I think I covered most of the common ones.
Maybe I have just not spent enough time exploring the interface but is there an easy way to search for a particular site. For instance, if there is a site that I want to advertise on that is in my niche, how can I find their listing other than simply browsing page after page of links?
Thanks! Now I know Sura and Mura are not part of the karma sutra.
Wicko-I have been trying to figure out for EVER what LinkMURA stood for! Now it makes perfect sense! Since I haven’t been with Linkworth very long, I don’t know what the control center looked like before, but I can say that I find it very easy to navigate and find the info I need. Hope that helps you help me help you help me! LOL
Lilian is a good buddy of mine and like her, I was quite blur with all the product names but eventually figured it out.
However, I get e-mails from my readers who have read that I am earning good money from Linkworth that they have problems inserting the codes when they have been offered LinkAds. I have to take them on a step by step tour.
It would be great if Linkworth can simplify the process or at least give simple step by step tutorials as there a many who are not tech savvy.
Ah Pek - maybe we can hire you as our official publishing tech! But we are going to put as much help as we can and we know it’s needed. We are also testing different methods of a publishing wizard.
Thanks for the help Ah Pek. That’s at least worth some business your way, right? I’ll see what I can do…
Thanks Elizabeth. I thank you for thanking me to thank us thanking each other.
Finding the “check” button, even while full screen, to see if your paid ad is indexed by the SEs, is a pain in the neck with the new system. Really a big pain. Not easy to see or track. Was hidden off screen right and I spent a long time going through menu after menu trying to find it. I am on a new and high end system with a big monitor and high res - that ain’t it. Bad design for critical data for THE CUSTOMER.
Featured Partner Listings in Control Center’s home page are plain text, making it difficult for advertisers to buy, because there’s no link to see stats or buy. My featured listing was selling good with the old design. Please improve exposure of featured listings. Thanks
Aeronautic - DONE! within your view now. Thanks for letting us know. This is the kind of thing we’re looking for. Things our customers see that we might not. I see everything because my monitor is 120″ wide. hahaha. Could you imagine!
Completely agree Ron! It will be taken care of.
I am still new to the LinkWorth site so i am not sure what it was like previously.
But from my own experience, i will say that it is not easy to navigate in the site. I mean, i am confused with adding my site which should be pretty straightforward.
When i submitted my site and then go to “Manage Site”, I do not see my site there. So i re-submit the site and it tells me the site is already in the database. Only thing is I can’t see it.
Can anybody help me out with this problem?
Walman, once you’ve submitted your site it must go through a manual approval process…which is also why you do not yet see it in the “manage sites” section.
The error about the site already being in the database is a safety feature. This prohibits more than one account holder from “owning” the same site.
It would be nice if there was separate category for Adult sites and ads.
@Alex - So rather than just saying “Adult” … break Adult down into many sub categories? If so, might you have a reference of site that lists good sub categories for adult sites?
Maybe I am overlooking the obvious, but where on earth do I find the opportunities that are available to me.
I am finding the whole dashboard, site, whatever you want to call it… confusing!
Hi Laura, we will soon have the opportunity option available but LinkWorth has always been a marketplace where the shoppers do the shopping and find the merchandise. What you might do is give Mitzi Mitchell a call toll free at 866.LNK.WRTH and have her walk you through any sections you are unfamiliar with.
