Text Link Ads - an easy way to make money on your blog

posted in Money Makers |

Text Link Ads (aff) has been changing the way people make money on their Blogs and Websites. How has it changed it? Well, it has made it a whole lot easier! Here’s how it works.

How does Text Links Ads work?

If you are sick of earning money on your Blog through Pay Per Click programs where you have to sit around and wait for people to click your ads then Text Link Ads is the solution for you.

All you have to do is sign up for an account (aff) and submit your site for review. If your Blog or site is above a Google Page Rank of 4 then you are almost certainly going to be approved. All that you need to do then is put a small code on your Blog and wait for them to sell your ads spaces.

It really is a simple process. TLA will sell ads on your site and then they split the earnings with you 50/50. They handle all the transactions and all the coding and all the negotiations, all you have to do is take the money when they pay you.

How much is each link worth?

It confuses a lot of people! It is a formula that mixes your Alexa rank as well as your Page Rank and your traffic. If all of these things are good then you will be paid a higher amount than if one of them was low. You will also make more per link if you place the links in a good position like near the main content.

Generally you will sell each link for between $16-$45 USD per month for a basic PR4 site.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Text Link Ads

Some people love TLA (we do!) and some people are against it. Here are some of the basic pro’s and con’s for each side.

Advantages:
- Easy to use

- Excellent revenue split (50%)
- Non invasive as opposed to Pay Per Click ads

Disadvantages

- Sometimes hard to sell ads
- Some people say that sold links are bad for your Search Engine Rankings

Overall this is a program worth trying if you are in the market for a new source of revenue on your Blog.

    I’m not sure if this will be a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway. I am new to blog and want to know what and how do you know what your Page Rank number is for your site?

    That’s not a stupid question at all! I actually included a link for it in the post but for some reason it isn’t showing up on the main page! Annoying.

    Go to http://www.prchecker.net/check.php and simply enter in your website or blog.

    Hope that helps.
