Poll: How Much Do You Make From Text Link Ads?
Time for another poll. This time the question is ‘How Much Do You Make From Text Link Ads?’ Just monthly numbers please and include any revenue from Post Level Ads.
Personally I’m doing quite well from Text Link Ads, which now account for about 1/8 of my online income which I’m very happy with. I’ve also taken advantage of the $100 in free links promotion, which made sense as I only had to spend $50 to get $150 worth of links.
I think that this promotion makes even more sense now that Text Link Ads have launched Post Level Ads, which allow you to really target which sites and pages you get a link from. Although, I don’t think as a publisher Post Level Ads are attractive, as an advertiser I think they offer great value, particularly if you take advantage of the $100 offer.
The pricing for Post Level Ads is as follows:
- PageRank 2 - $5.00
- PageRank 3 - $6.00
- PageRank 4 - $8.00
- PageRank 5 - $10.00
- PageRank 6 - $25.00
- PageRank 7 - $50.00
So, armed with $100 in Free Links you could buy 15 links on PR5 posts for a real outlay of only $50. More importantly these will be on 15 different sites, rather than on the same site, which I think will be more valuable than buying one site-wide link on a PR5 site.

I have also been considering using TLA for a while, but I was not sure if I could make any money due to my low PR. I have been working on increasing it.

TLA have been a much better performer for me than AdCents or whatever it’s called…The great thing about it is that it’s confirmed money in the bank regardless of impressions, clicks, etc.
My only concern is how their model fits in with Google’s policy on paid links. I’ve emailed their support team and am waiting on a response.
