With Google (and very soon also Yahoo) devaluing links in the sidebars, the footers and all other "navigational" areas the era of traditional link buys and sells is gone.

The market for presell pages has been developing over the last one and a half years already in pretty small circles of well known SEOs and affiliate marketers and sees a current boom as it's obvious that presell pages can be one way out of the well known and discussed "sandbox" - actually a group of symptoms of penalties and filters that apply to new sites on Google.

Be sure to not confuse presell pages with the concept of "article syndication" where you write one article and place it on thousands of database driven article sites… what good could a link from 1000s of sites be if they all undergo the same "duplicate content" penalty and are pretty fresh sites? Even top SEOs like Jim Boykin think that article syndication is hyped too much and people should go and get quality links. Article placement is still too automatic, too "too many", too obvious optimization. Then why not go out and buy some sitewides?

Presell pages are best for hosting content on some old and trusted authority sites (like .edus or .govs or rather old sites - minimum 2 year) related to your theme.

From this authority bonus (also understood as trust) your own presell page will receive a bit of authority power and pass this on to your site to be marketed.

In addition to getting some great links from that presell page, the presell page hosted on the authority site could give you a new SERP entry driving traffic to your site. That's because the hosting site is well established and has a great trust rank.

So you not only get links, you get TRAFFIC - real people reading your content which is hopefully compelling great, and clicking thru to your site.

Already back in early 2005 Stuntdubl called "presell pages closer to the perfect link" and Aaron wall refered to it as "sitewide links replacement" as many presell pages are linked from the whole site they are hosted on.

Earn money by Hosting Marketing Pages

And even better, as a webmaster you can earn money by hosting presell pages on your own site, if it follows some guidelines like minimum age and original, unique content. That works rather similar to the text link selling business, except that you really have to handle a whole article instead of a small 30 character link.

It seems that presell page prices to achieve vary widely depending on the age of your site as well as the quality of your backlinks. You have to submit your sites for review there - we got a response within 24 hours with a suggestion for a great price. A great addition would be a tool to measure the stats of the site and spit out a presell page price immediately.
