1Stock1.Com (Link) 1Stock1.com has launched what it calls a Link Investment Board, which combines good old link advertising and management with stocks. Somewhat similar to the You-Cubez I had just reviewed, in that you purchase a link off the site and with time and popularity as the site grows your link will grow in value. You can rent out your link space or you can keep it for yourself. Also promoting people to the site, will help increase the value of the link. The idea in theory seems like a good one. I have a few issues with this site however. Browsing through the various links, it is easy to get lost in the site and not be able to find the Link Investment Board again. The site design is nothing special, although in this case I wouldn’t say the site needs to be flashy, but the navigation needs work. Also, the details of how everything works seem a bit complicated. Maybe I’m not the brightest crayon in the box (and I’ll readily admit it) but making the system for buying and selling links could get tricky. The site contains a lot of rules and there is a fee for selling. The complicated system in which this works, would probably turn off the average link buyer, but I can’t be sure. Perhaps those who deal with stocks [I clearly don’t] may find a home with this site.
