Monetizng with Text-Link-Ads.com

October 3, 2008 · Filed Under General 

Yesterday I was reading a post by John Chow on monetizing, and he listed Text-Link-Ads as a source he uses.  I have seen TLA before, but never really had a site to use them on, or that I wanted to.  As some may know I started making money online with proxy websites.  These are not the type of websites that would fit the bill for TLA. About 6 months ago I started to get serious about making websites that were SEOd and rank well in Google.  Given that I work full time with a family as it is,  I have been on a rather slow path at learning SEO.  I have gotten a site up and running and on the first page of Google for a competitive Microsoft term.  The site brought in $270 last month solely from adsense, so its starting to get moving.

That site is the type that can work with TLA, so I applied yesterday.  I got it all setup and was approved yesterday.  Before 11AM today I got an email that they had sold an ad on my site already.  Given how new my site is and all things considered it only costs $15 to buy a link.  So its not to high of a price, but I was surprised at how quickly they got an ad sold.  Give my current profit share it could bring in an extra $50+ per month for that site.  So thats not too bad for now.  I assume the prices go up as the site grows, they say they review each month.  I will see how it goes, but for now it looks like a painless way to more efficiently monetize.  All told I didn’t remove and adsense ads to put up the TLA ads, so its pure profit at this point.
