I decided yesterday to remove my site from the new Post Level Ads service from Text Link Ads. Although Text Link Ads have been very successful at selling Text Link Ads on my site, I decided that the rates for the new Post Level Ads were too low to make them worthwhile adding.

The Seven Habits of Successful Bloggers
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve started to understand why John Chow runs such a popular site. In amongst all the gaming of Google, Digg, Technorati, Alexa etc basically any site that does ranking (and to be honest John does most of it for fun, to prove that it can be done) [...]

For many sites these inaccuracies aren’t an [...]
