Earning With Text Link Ads Made Easy


Text Link Ads(Referral) is a site which you might already be knowing. Here’s a brief introduction of what it is.

Text Link Ads is the premier targeted traffic and link popularity ad firm.

You can be an advertiser and buy quality links or be a publisher and sell links. If you have a blog with good traffic and a much better PR, then you are going to earn without any guide. Advertisers are willing to get a link on your blog. But what if your blog does not get accepted? You can still earn money.

Text Link Ads

They have an affiliate program which many already know. The affiliate program will look simple but it is not as simple as it sounds. All you need to do to earn money with their affiliate program is to refer a Publisher. The publisher will be counted as your referral only after their blog gets accepted and they run the code for seven days. You can also refer advertisers. When the referred advertiser buys an advertising, then he/she will be considered as your referral. I have tried various placements of Text Link Ads. Most of the times you get clicks on the referral link but not everyone becomes your approved referral. In fact, getting an approved referral is very hard. And once you get an approved referral, you will be paid $25. We have to place these at the right positions and at right posts so that you won’t disturb your regular readers with the banners. Here is an easy way to get the best out Text Link Ads affiliate program.

  1. Write a top notch content. Most of the Top notch contents will go hot in any one of the social bookmarking site or even more than one. You might even get linked by bloggers with huge regular readers(like Darren).
  2. At these times, you get very huge traffic. At the end of your top notch post, put a small banner or button of the Text Link Ads referral(Thanks Shankar). I normally recommend you to add a referral for both advertisers and publishers.
  3. You will surely get many clicks on the referral. What is the probability of one in 50 clicks become an approved referral. It averages $0.50 per click which is not bad at all. This tip really works well and I have tried this.

Try these and just wait for the result to show up. It takes time to show people as your approved referrals. Hope this tip was useful for you.

    Ken, how old is your blog? I think it mostly accepts blogs that are three months Old or more. :) They haven't accepted my previous blog too.
  • Textlinkads haven't approved me although I have submit it 3 months ago. :)
    So, I can't say anything yet. But I've read alot that TLA can be a very lucrative money stream for our blog.

    Kanak, Yeah I think it is called Cloaking URL. That is what john Chow does. You can do like that. And I think if you mention in your post that it is a referral, few people don't mind joining under you. Anyway thanks for the nice point. :)
  • well as far as i have seen its very difficult to get signup till there is a ref id in the link ... as the guy normally doesnt signup till they c that someone else is going to get benefited with that. Best option is to create a php file and use redirect as used by johnchow. If you point to a php file and will get redirected. Ex: the link will look something www.xxxx.com/go/textlink.php . I think this is the best way to get ppl signup. :)

    Vijay, Nice that you got an advertiser on your first day. Try adding an Advertise Page on your blog. I don't see one on your page. Also try placing the sponsors in the much clicked areas. These might help in getting extra advertisers.
  • I currently have one advertiser with TLA. The advertiser actually signed up on the first day I got approved by TLA. I haven't got any offers since!
  • Ramkarthik
    Anand, Yes it is hard to get a referral. But a small banner is not going to make any difference in our reader's mind. So I think it is good to add them in the popular posts. :)
  • I have always regarded it as too much work for too less money..
  • Ramkarthik
    Chee Kui, Agreed! You can make more money if you have old posts with good PR. "Passive income". Well said. :)
  • I have TLA on my blog. I love the way it works because my old posts with high PR value can help make money too.
    Let's just say it's a way of earning passive income while blogging. ;)

    Ashwin, Nice that you have joined. Tell me after you get approved.

    Ben, Now that you have started to attract advertisers, you will start earning more. And yes the PR update will get you more good results.

    Pearl, You said it right. Getting it to work is a bit hard. And getting the first advertiser is also hard. Once you get these two, everything will be fine and you will easily make money.
  • yes I am looking forward to that...seems like this is the easiest methods of them all once it starts working!
  • I haven't had much luck on Text-Link-Ads either, but I was surprised when someone ordered a post link on my another blog. May be I have to wait for PR update to get more advertisers>!
  • I have signed up few days back and yet I have to evaluate it.
  • Ramkarthik
    Wild Bill, Text Link Ads can be a big money earner if you have a good Alexa, Technorati and Page Rank. I see that your blog has got a good Alexa rank now. So maybe that is the reason why you have got a new advertiser. Try the above tips with your affiliate program and you might get very good results.
  • I have had text-link ads installed on my other blog for a year and yesterday I sold my first link. I did not know if I was doing something wrong or what. I think I am getting the hang of it now. I will mess around with your suggestion and see if I can have some more success. Thanks for your tip.

    Pearl, Good to hear that you got approved in Text Link Ads. To sell Text Link Ads, a blog should have good traffic and a better PR. So don't worry, after the PR update, your blog will start getting advertisers.
  • hi.. I signed up with them a couple of months ago but my site was not approved at that time but then early last month I submitted again and got an email that my blog was approved! at that time they let me download the plug in for in-links but I have not seen any text link ads yet.. .may be it'll happen after some page rank... godd article....
