Text-Link-Ads Review - Advertising companies

August 15, 2007

Text-Link-Ads.com Review : One way of increasing your income through your blog is to let people advertise their website on it by either setting up your own advertising system, or you can go through a few text link advertising companies that are online like

Text-Link-Ads
Adbrite
linkworth
linkadage
and the list goes on….

I thought I would give it a whirl with the company text link ads I had a rough idea of what I could get from a site that has a page rank of 5 on homepage and 4 on the blog after having gone through others. I have tested this quite a bit and had a good idea of what I knew I could get per month for people advertising on my site based on the traffic it was getting.

Anyway I thought I would give text-link-ads a go after reading a review and watching a video testimonial from a few authority websites.

Well what a mistake!

I signed up grabbed the code took like about 5 mins, put it on my site and within a week I had 3 links displayed on my site ( basically it pulls them in automatically and takes them off automatically ).

Great I thought, until I logged into my text link ads account, to discover that these guys had an agreement with text link ads to be on my site for an entire month for a … GET THIS..

Whopping $12 each..

Now realize TEXT LINK ADS takes 50% of that, so after checking what I actually was going to earn from it at the end of the month was $13.70 from the combined payment of the 3 for an entire month on my site … woooHOOoooo.. lets retire to the cayman islands shall we?

In the words of John Stossel " GIVE ME A BREAK " !

Anyway after having previous history of running ads on my site through another company, You can bet your ass it didn’t take me long to decide that TEXT LINK ADS seriously is not the company I wish to continue with.

I emailed them 3 times, never got a response
I phoned them 2 times never got a response

I decided, to remove their code from my site

Having Advertising on your website/blog is great if you run it independently or if you go through a company that actually isn’t trying to take the piss!

So word of advise if you plan on using an text link advertising services to monetize your blogs/sites, approach the company text-link-ads.com with extreme caution, or better still look for another company.
