Simon’s Notes

There are some bloggers out there that don’t care about making money, but those are few and far between. For most of us, money is not the most important thing, but its at least third on the list. There are many ways to monetize your blog, but in this post I’m going to talk a little bit about Text-Link-Ads.

With Text-Link-Ads you can sell simple, relevant, text adds on your site or blog. It makes the job of finding advertisers much easier for you as they do all the hard work, all you have to do is have a blog, and get approved (which is no small task).

There are a lot of ways to make money from your blog, but as much as some people like to complain about adds on a site, it is still one of the major ways of monetizing your blog. The beauty of Text-Link-Ads is its blending power, I’ve seen many blogs that use this service and none of them look like they’re displaying advertisements. With a label such as ‘Featured Sites’, or something similar, its quite easy to make it look just like a collection of links.

I did mention that it’s no small feat to get approved by Text-Link-Ads, in fact I’ve submitted my blog about 1 month ago and its still not approved. Their criteria is not easy to meet. There is some good news though, even if your blog is not approved you can still have an account, and you can take part in their affiliate program. You might find that you can make more money from the affiliate program than you can by displaying the ads. Text-Link-Ads will pay you 25 dollars for every paying advertiser you refer and for every publisher you refer. So you can relax and promote TLA while you wait for your blog to get approved, and who knows, you might get hooked.
