BidPanel.com lists links alphabetically in order of highest bid. Bids can be purchased for a link at any time, by anybody, and all bids are counted toward a link's total bid. The top 5 bidding links are displayed prominently on the home page, and if the administrator has chosen to enable the Link Leader, the highest bidding link will be displayed on every page.

Absolutely YES. Despite the fact that paid links were often abused in the past to easily rank positions in Search Engines, since 2005 Google as well as others search engine operators like Bing (formerly Microsoft Live Search) and Yahoo Search introduced the rel="nofollow" tag as an official mean to report them that a link was paid. In other words our links will not violate their quality guidelines and search engines will be even more happy with both your and our websites. BidPanel.com is using rel="nofollow" sitewide, you may check every page HTML source to verify by yourself.

Adding a link is easy. Just purchase a listing review add your link and place a bid of at least $1 to activate it.

If you added your link you should have been sent directly to the link details page, where you can place a bid. An email is also sent to the address for all new links with instructions on placing your first bid.

You must click the Activate My Bid link on PayPal after payment. If you placed a bid but it was never counted toward your link, please contact us with details of the transaction and the email address that payment was issued from. Your bid will be applied as quickly as possible.

Once listed, your link is displayed permanently. As time passes you can increase your bid to keep your link at the top of the listings.
