24May All links sold on TextLinkAds, what next?
[tag]TextLinkAds[/tag] remain my favourite ad income because it is practically painless. I do not have to write paid posts, no fraudulent clicks to worry about and I get paid on the dot at the end of the month. Even if my site experience a day of downtime, I do not lose any income. Unlike Adsense. Server down equals zero income.
TextLinkAds have grow and grow. I have practically sold out all 10 links on some sites. I have also managed to sell two post links (i.e. ads that appear on our post) which is priced at USD5 per link. Imagine….I have 2,000 pages on my personal blog? *counting chicks before they hatch* Hehehe.
Above is the screenshot of TLA Post links. See the Related Links? That is a paid link in a post. The post can be found here.
Here is a screenshot of my TextLinkAds for the month of May 2007
This site was just approved for TextLinkAds and I am certainly looking forward to see all 10 links being grabbed by advertisers.
Now, my question : If you have sold out all ten links, what do you do next?
1) Open a new blog and develop it nicely. That’s what I did. I started to have courage to open more blogs when I found that a month’s income from TLA can finance my site for the whole year. But remember that TLA only accepts blogs with a certain ranking and traffic.
2) Demand a pay rise! Like all good employees (me, the publisher), I forwarded a nice request to [tag]TLA[/tag] to review the prices they fixed for my links and voila! They increased it handsomely.
I am sorry I cannot reveal the total income I get per month but it is suffice to say that TextLinkAds is one ad revenue that pays handsomely. If you like to know more about TLA, just surf over. The below is my affiliate banner. :) TLA has one of the highest paying TLA affiliate program too. I love TLA!

Text Link Ads are great. Although selling those text links on a Blogspot blog is a lot harder than if you have your own domain.
Making money with TLA is almost a repeatable formula. Just create a site, improve your Technorati ranking by getting links, improve your Alexa ranking, watch your PR rise and then you’ll sell out your links and make good money.
No get rich quick secrets here, just lots of hard work and patience while you wait for all those rankings to improve. It’s doable though.

I no luck with TLA lah. So I long time never go and check my stats there. Went there just now after reading this post and I saw they sold my “Links” page. But when I check, there was nothing in that page that shows it’s from TLA. So I also don’t know what they sold!
TLA quite confusing to me ler..
