Text-Link-Ads Frustrations

Posted by Jon Lee in Site stuff, tags: , ,

Seems like I have little luck with monetizing my site. Both Text-Link-Ads and ReviewMe have been up and running for a couple months and yet no dice. My ReviewMe price recently increased to $100 while my Text-Link-Ad price is still sitting at $15 per month rate it started at.

I consider this price a steal! Looking at other sites in the TLA marketplace, I’m pretty much the highest ranked site at the $15 level and my ranking is on par with sites selling links for over $200!

So I did a little bit of reading and found a couple articles that had some recommendations on increasing sales. I’ve gone ahead and implemented some of these tips so hopefully I will see some revenue for the month of June. Here are the articles:

If anyone has any suggestions, I whole-heartedly welcome them!

    Thanks for the links! I haven’t been approved for TLA yet, but I expect to be when they next do a review. Hopefully those two articles will help me monetize more quickly than otherwise.

    hi its my 1st visit to ur blog , i kinda like the looks and feel of it!! it really gets on my nerves those blogs where u read the bloggers r making fortunes and stuff like that and most of the time that isnt even true!! i know some like that!! :D anyway i signed up to TLA when my blog was just a couple weeks old, of course they absolutely reject me!!! but now that i know a little more about the blogworld i hv doubts!! reading ur post of course make them bigger… cause u r an experienced blogger and u r still at 15$ with so much work and great ranking!! well i think for me with less visitors, im blogging mostly for fun too… and i was just thinking about signing up with PPP instead!! i know its different but i guess that would worl much better for me!!

    Hey thanks! I’ve joined PPP as well but I rarely find any articles that I’m interested in writing. Good luck to you on your blog though!

    lower your review me price, thats way too high. BAYB is 46$ and ive gotten 1 review. our stats are about the same.

    look at kumiko she did a great review for me, and she has her price set at 40$

    your TLA just takes a while, took us a bit before we got sales. same thing with my other blog

    good luck
