TLA - The history by Patrick Gavin

Eventhough I had been Google smacked all across my blogs for putting TLA previously, I still am fond of TLA. I no longer sell text links that pass Google juice on this site because I am using the no-follow tags. But on those blogs that are favourites of TLA advertisers, I am still earning a decent income.

Of all the ads companies, I think Text Link Ads has the best customers/publishers support. From the sales and marketing, technical to accounts department, all of them have been very accommodating. In fact, I even have an old post titled “Why I *heart* TLA”

Few days ago, I read the article written by Patrick Gavin on history of TLA and I am full of admiration for the company. The company has survived eventhough it was deindexed. If you search for TLA, text link ads or any similar keywords, you cannot find the company TLA. It is quite sad that I had to drop selling text links through TLA on most of my blogs. I actually like the arrangement of leaving my text links sales be managed by third party because I have so many blogs and catching up with advertisers, negotiating, collecting payments etc will be too much chore for me.

Recently, TLA has use other methods of putting links and I read from some SEO blogs, these will be under Google radar. I don’t know….I treasure my current PR 4/10 so I won’t be selling TLA over here eventhough I used to get USD80/2 per link. (50% to me, 50% to TLA).

But for the benefits of those bloggers who wish to give TLA a try, I am putting the little 125×125 on my sidebar for a few days. The 125×125 looks so pathetic being all empty. I hope Google won’t kill my PR over a small button like that? On a no-follow blog too!

Why I *heart* TLA

5xmom_income

They pay the fastest. I already received my payment for November and had even withdrawn and cashed out. (I can only withdraw USD500 each day so I hate waiting and cashed it out in other ways.)

Their service is the best-est.

When I requested TLA to remove the text link ads from two of my blog in my ‘Google worshipping’ drive, they did it pronto and with a nice, understanding email too.

I still have many sites selling TextLinkAds and they are still making me good money.

So, if you got nothing to lose and wants to earn money, sign up with TextLinkAds.

Lovely to be greeted by Text Link Ads mails

When you monetize your site, there is a certain thrill in opening your emails each morning. You will be pleasantly surprised to get mails from all the various companies you work for.

It can be emails from Paypal telling you that you have just received a huge payment overnight.

It can be emails from paid post companies telling you that you have been hired to do some paid reviews.

Or it can be from TextLinkAds telling you that you have sold even more links since yesterday.

TLA

Emails like the above says I have just sold another text link ad. This means more money.

And if you are questioning the wisdom of selling text links, I got a very good question to ask you back.

Imagine….if you do not sell text link or do paid post but just survive on Google Adsense, are you able to earn the amount of money like what you do? For example, I made USD5K in September 2007. Google Adsense only make up of less than 20% of my income. So, why worry? Google doesn’t dictate how we use our blog. We do.

Sign up with TextLinkAds and start enjoying these sort of emails notification - Congratulations - We have sold a text link….. Schweet!

Have you changed your Text Link Ads to tinyurl yet?

I didn’t get any email from TextLinkAds nor ReviewMe. I am not sure why but my email seems to have dropped off from their record and many times, they ended up in the spam bin.

I heard that Text Link Ads wants all their publishers to change their links to tinyurl. So far, I only managed to complete one blog. Sigh..so much work to do. I suspect the tinyurl will not look so obvious to Google. BTW, you are aware that TextLinkAds cannot be found on the first few pages of Google searches, right? I noticed that since June and had blogged about why TextLinkAds is not on Google searches.

You get LinkWorth if you Google text link ads. This is one reason why you should sign up with LinkWorth now because advertisers who are looking to buy text links are likely to stumble on LinkWorth. Or the other alternative is Kontera but this is the link placed within our posts.

TextLinkAds works very well for me on my other blogs and many of them have sold all the 10 slots. I get a constant income totalling USD700 from TLA alone, which is very good as I do not need to do anything except collect my payment at the end of each month.

Now, those of you who received the notification from TLA, can you tell me if I need to change my plugin as well? I only change my affiliate banner and links so far. I am not sure when I am going to get an email from TLA but I have asked them to mail to me the notice to change to tinyurl.

I have a category for TextLinkAds detailing how to sell your links successfully and how much I earn in the previous months. Give TLA a try. The company has been doing great until recently when they are dropped off Google. I heard some quarters said they are serving porn ads but I do not believe them because the publishers have the choice to select their advertisers. I used to have a penis enlargement ads in Spanish and I think it is mighty funny until one of my local advertiser mentioned they refused to advertise on my site. I told TLA and they took off the ad immediately without question. So, basically it is our choice, really.

Text Link Ads Calculator - Estimate how much your links worth

I have blogged about this many months ago and feel it is good to refresh those who are interested to make money about the Text Link Ads Calculator. If you have not heard of TLA or Text Link Ads, you can check my category and understand how it works and how to sell links on your blog and make money.

Text Link Ads

On TLA site, they have this tool call ‘Text Link Ads Calculator’. You just need to enter your blog URL, choose the category, number of links to sell and pick where you intend to put your links.

tla_calculator

For this blog, it is estimated to make USD39 per link per month. That means if I sell all 10 links, I will get USD390 per month. But of course, this blog is just accepted into Text Link Ads in June 2007 so I haven’t manage to sell any links except one.

You can find the calculator from TLA site. However, note that the estimated figure it not always correct. Moreover, I have requested for a higher price for my links when I notice that I fully sold all the links every month. It is good to ‘tarik harga’ or get a little demanding when we know our site sells. Three of my blogs have sold all 10 links. So, it is good to have several blogs, eh?

You can make money with your site now!

Is it textlinkads, textlinksad or textlinkad?

I never like to keep things in my bookmarks or browser. So, what I do is to type the keyword and search for the link I want. I wanted to check my TextLinkAds and found that there is no link on Google!

textlinkad - This Make$ Money$ site is on #3 but no TLA official site on the first page.

textlinkads - Also no TLA or [tag]textlinkads[/tag] URL

textlinksad - And I finally found it with some foreign languages.

Now, do you find it a bit weird? That a company and website like [tag]TLA[/tag] has so little results on Google? I do. Because if you search for ReviewMe, you get SponsoredReviews. LOL! Now, that’s what I call clever play of SEO.

As for TextLinkAds, they remain my favourite income earner. Do sign up with TLA if you have not done so.

Here’s link to TLA (aff)

Text Link Ads

You earn money by placing a URL on your sidebar. No work involves. However, the hardest hurdle is to get someone to buy up a link. Read my related posts on how to get people interested in your blog and how to convince them to buy your link. You also can sell a link in your sidebar. Plus earn money when someone signs up as an affiliate. So, if you haven’t sign up with TLA, do try it now. *points to banner above, grins*

This site has only one link so far because it is just approved by TLA. However, I have sold 8-10 links on my other websites. A site can earn me around USD80-USD140. Good income, right?

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

TextLinkAds

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!
