Advertisers will find Text Link Ads useful as these are static links without a nofollow and will therefore help them improve their search engine rankings and get them some traffic.

Text Link Ads makes it easy for Advertisers to choose which sites to advertise on by displaying all their publishers by category and ordering them by Alexa ranking and monthly price. Once you select the sites you want to advertise on, just tick the ‘Buy’ checkbox and click ‘Add to cart’.

As a new Advertiser on Text Link Ads you are eligible for $100 in FREE Links.

Publishers will find Text Link Ads useful as unlike other Ads they are just text links and won’t be irritating for their visitors. As a publisher you can choose how many ads you would like to display, and whether they will appear on a single page or sitewide. Be careful on what you choose because this will affect on how much each link on your site will cost. The more Ads you choose to appear, the lesser will be the price per link.

You can choose where to place the links on your site, but remember that certain places can get you more money. You can use the Text Link Ads calculator to see how much a link is worth on your site depending on where you put it and whether you chose to offer a single page or a site wide link. The left side of your page can earn you the most and the link worth decreases as you move to the right side.

Also Text Link Ads are sold at a flat price for a 30 day period. The price won’t fluctuate with your traffic nor will it depend on how many people click or view the Text Links but is based on factors like Alexa Rank and Google PageRank. So your site will have a higher link price if you have good Alexa Rank and Google PageRank.

I recommend everyone to try out Text Link Ads as it can be a good source of income depending on your sites ranking. New sites may not get accepted into TLA (my friend faced this problem), in that case you will have to improve your rankings.

Text Link Ads has an affiliate program that will pay you $25 for any referred visitor that is accepted into their publisher program and installs the advertising script on their site for seven days. If you refer an advertiser who purchases an advertisement, the referral will appear in your affiliate account within 24 hours. If you decide to sign up as a publisher, use this link.

My Experience

In the beginning I was not that satisfied with Text Link Ads as they set my monthly price to $25 but later as my Alexa Rank and Page Rank improved, the link price got set to $160. But as Text Link Ads take 50% of the link price as their fee, I earn just $80.

In February, only 1 advertiser had bought a link on my site for $160, the rest 6 Advertisers bought links before the monthly price had increased. So my February earnings for Text Link Ads was only $91.89 + $25 (referral).

I expected a better earning for this month, but I noticed that this month too old advertisers were buying links on my site for the old price ($25). It would be nice if there was a way to cancel an Advertiser or raise the link price if they wanted to continue advertising.

Apart from these problems, Text Link Ads can be a good way to make money online and I recommend you to join it if you have not done so far and is interested in making money from your site.

Try out Text Link Ads and let me know how it works out for you. If you are already using it, I would love to hear how well it’s working for you.
