Monetize Your Blog With Text Link Ads

If you are looking for additional ways to monetize your blog, why don’t you try Text Link Ads. I have been reading good things around the blogosphere about TLA, so I decided to check them out.

First things first. I would like you to know that Text Link Ads network is compatible with contextual advertising such as Google Adsense or YPN (Yahoo! Publisher’s Network), so TLA will not violate those network’s terms of service.

At Text Link Ads, there are two ways to monetize your blog. One is by Affiliate banners + buttons and the other one is by Text links/ ads.

The Affiliate banners + buttons promote Text Link Ads. You will be paid US$25 for each successful referral. By successful, I mean either that a visitor results in a sale or gets accepted into their publisher program. This method of monetization is recommended if you have a site that has anything to do with earning money from blog like mine.

The second method of monetization (Text links/ads) offers flat-rate monthly non-context sensitive text-only link ads to advertisers. Ads are purchased by advertisers on a monthly basis. The amount you will get is something around USD15-USD50 per link per month. Some sites are selling their links for USD100. And once the ad link is sold, we get the income without worrying if it will be audited, fraudulent clicks or anything like that.

Earnings depend on several factors like where you place the ad block on your blog, whether you sell blocks on just one page or your entire site and how many text link ads you sell per block.

You can set the number of ads in your member’s control panel after you signup. You can also choose to accept advertisers automatically or to be part of the acceptance process.

Payment is monthly, by check or Paypal. If you choose check, you need to reach US$25 in a month, or payment gets rolled over to the next month. If you choose Paypal, there is no monthly minimum.

Payout is 50/50 on each ad sold for your site, which sounds high compared to other ad networks. However, because of the strategy used for Text Link Ads, lower-traffic sites that have trouble monetizing with contextual ad programs report making much more money with TLA.

How does it work?

Simply go to the Text Link Ads website, and sign up to be a publisher. It can take a few days to get your approval ( or rejection! ) so be patient. You’re approved based on your site, its content, and traffic. Once you receive your approval, you get to configure your ads to your liking. You can choose how many ads you’d like to display, and whether they’ll appear on a single page on your site, or on the entire site.

Once you’ve made these decisions, you can customize the colors to match your site. After that, simply select your site’s blogging platform, and follow the instructions or you can add the link manually. You can, of course, request that you personally approve each link.

That’s pretty much it. Once your script is installed, your site is listed on the Text Link Ads website. You’ll get an email each time a link is sold, and your money can be deposited into your PayPal account or send it by check. Whatever the link is sold for you split 50 / 50 with Text Link Ads.
