Text Link Ads: Become a Publisher
Even though I am a long way away from fully monetizing this blog, I did sign up with Text Link Ads for the first time. To be honest, I never realized that there was so much money to be made with this program. But upon further review, it is safe to say that you can make a couple of hundred bucks a month if you have a solid marketplace to offer.
There are two main reasons that I decided to implement Text Link Ads at this time.
1. I did not have to greatly alter the look and feel of my blog. In fact, all I had to do was download a plugin, activate it, and drag the widget to the sidebar. From there, Text Link Ads will do the rest. Even I figured this out with ease!
2. I have read several blogs in the past couple days that show decent earnings from this program. Although I do not have nearly as much traffic as some of the top publishers, there is nothing wrong with getting an early start.
Of course, I have no way of knowing how this will work out for me. What are your experiences with selling Text Link Ads? If you are yet to try this out, I would suggest doing so. The unobtrusive look and easy setup is reason enough to give this program a try!
PS: Sorry for the “Test Link Ad” on the sidebar. This will only be around for 12 hours at the most.

I haven’t tried it, but I’d be interested to read more about your experience with Text Link Ads once you start monetizing. But I may have to give it a try myself now.

V. Neely - No doubt, I plan on keeping everybody up to date. Since it is easy to set up, I say go for it!

i’ve signed up about 2 weeks now, No advertisers have found my site attractive enough though but I am in the marketplace.

Jamaipanese - From what I understand it can take some time to get noticed. I plan on leaving TLA active on this blog for a few months. That will give me enough time to get a good look at the program…

Have you already gotten some links through them? Are those the links I see on the right, under “Links?”
