Fleeing The Social Scene

Ok, so I’ve been signed up and approved with Text-Link-Ads (TLA) for some time now. I’ve found numerous reports from blogger friends as well as some of my daily reads that TLA is a legit source of income.

I’ve got the code snippet in my sidebar of my PR4 site, propstm.net.

Maybe I’m crazy?�? Here are my stats for the year for propstm.net. In my opinion its solid enough for someone to want to advertise on.

But still no sales. Ever. Maybe I’m missing the boat, why have I gotten no interest in my ad? What could I do to increase my potential for making money. Also if possible I’d like to expand to this site and use TLA on this site as well on my sidebar. Most people are at least sporting the TLA square ad on their sites. I don’t even get that. What gives?

Maki over at DoshDosh.com recommended in one of his posts that placing a “$100 Free Text Links” banner below your posts will let advertisers know that you use TLA. I started doing this below every other post or so (no rule of thumb) and that’s when I started seeing results from TLA.

Hi,

I am the developer of WP Text Ads, a free WordPress plugin that lets you sell text link ads directly to bloggers, so you pay no commissions and get paid immediately.

One of the biggest benefits of WP Text Ads is that prices are generally lower for advertisers, and since you get to keep it all, your profit is higher than if you used brokered programs. So it’s a win-win.

I hope you’ll consider it.
