Jim Kukral: Does Text Link Ads Make You Any Money As A Blogger?

  • Palm Coast · 2 years ago
    I've tried it out, and found that it's just not worth it putting TLA on smaller sites. There will always be those people that have sites with authority and high pagerank, and that's why I think TLA is a lot better to for an advertiser to build backlinks.

    I haven't made one cent with them. I have tried on more than one occasion but I have never even had any ads displayed.

    There's value in selling text links. But make sure you use the nofollow attribute.

    Without nofollow, Google sees it as an attempt to buy to boost PR, and they dislike it.

    The 2 posts above summarize Google's point of view.

    Until this week, TLA was my primary earner, now up to $100 a month. I just got a banner ad deal for $150 a month. No complaints about TLA.

    Of course, once a TLA is sold, the price doesn't increase. So I need to find a way to ramp up to more money with limited ad space.

    traffic Blogs I have TLA
    since last year but I do not earned
    a single dime at all.
    of all affiliates that I entered
    This is the only affiliate that it
    did not gave any earnings.

    I had a small blog, and Text link ads didn't work on it. You need lots of traffic to work it out.
