The urllist.txt file is not something new. In fact it is quite old. I just did a quick search on it and found only a few people talking about urllist.txt, and these are like dated in ancient 2005. But still just for that small little quicker submission time advantage, we still use this. But since there is a Sitemap Generator for Wordpress, I decided to have my own urllist.txt generator. Although mine is not really a plugin, it is just a file you upload in the root url together with your sitemap.xml. And the urllist.txt file will read the sitemap.xml file and generate the file from there. You need to be able to mod-rewrite too to use this.

Please remember that this file is not a Wordpress Plugin. It simply reads the sitemap.xml file. Thus if you are not using the Wordpress Sitemap Generator, maybe you should get that first.
Instructions:
Note: They should be the first lines because if you place them by the end, Wordpress’ rewrite rules will be followed.
Since this is not a Wordpress Plugin, you can use this on any site that has a sitemap.xml file. Just update the sitemap.xml file, you update the urllist.txt file automatically.

Search engine optimization has kept on evolving over the years and gone are the days when ranking was all about keyword density. Today, the ranking algorithms for search engines involve so many factors and where one of the major factors is incoming links.
The main basis why incoming links are valuable in the search engine ranking algorithm is because a site would link to another only if the owner of the site believes in the site it is linking to as a credible website. More often than not, a website linking to another website is also of the same interest. This then helps search engines get a good idea of what your site is all about.
But aside from SEO, a text link is still an ad, and if prominently placed, this can still drive traffic to your website and possibly contribute in the potential sales your website can have by having link.
Search engines are known to frown upon artificial ways of link building. They do not just recommend you to buy and buy links from anywhere. As this can decrease the quality of search results if they allowed this since people can just buy links or make links themselves using various free web hosting services. Thus this is what search engines detect. Thus relevant links are still a must in the link buying process.
One of the major strengths of Text Link Ads, is they have a well categorized list of companies that you can find an appropriate link partner in almost any vertical market. That way you can make your links well relevant to your site. That way you are not really flagged for artificial link building. I’d say that Text Link Ads is one of the best link buying tools out there, search is easy, well organized site, and once every site has their code in it, buying a link and having it added on the site is all automated. No need to edit the code. The system is just so streamlined as compared to their competition.
Aside from having Text Link Ads as an excellent service for buying links, it is as equally great for selling links as well for monetizing your sites. Monetize your forums, blogs and other community websites. One advantage of earning through Text Link Ads, is once you have an advertiser, just maintain the popularity of your website, and they will probably not leave you and keep paying you on a monthly basis as compared to other PPC ads where you get paid per click and is prone to issues with click fraud.
