Internet Gangsters

I know it’s been a long time since either of us have posted on this blog, but I wanted to get some decent results before posting and I’ve been working on building up what I currently have going instead of diving into anything else.

Text-link-ads is a website that sells links for you. You submit a site, they approve it, and then they add it to their directory and people can buy links based on the price that the site sets for you. Since I added it back in February I have had 2 advertisers that have bought links on one of my sites for the past 3 months (Feb., April, May) and as of right now I just had another link sold on that same site as well as a link sold on one of my other sites. I have been paid at the end of every month via paypal for the links that were purchased on my sites and never had any problems.

So basically what I’m telling you is that if you have a successful website or blog, definitely put text-link-ads somewhere on your site. If you don’t sell any links nothing will appear on your site, no advertisements, nothing, so nobody will even know.

A little update on my text-link-ads.com experiment. I guess I should have read the emails they were sending me a little more carefully before I started to write them off as not being able to sell ads for my site, but I received an email today saying that the site I setup was approved at that ads should start appearing on my site soon. They have set the price at $15/mo for the site I sent them, which is totally fine by me. Everyone always wants more, but you have to start somewhere. Now if I would have done this a few months ago when the site was really hot I’m sure I would have made more money, but oh well you live and learn. So this is good news, I’ll keep everyone updated on whether or not anyone decides to buy an ad on the site.

On a side note, I tried to get my forum approved by the site and they denied me right out of the box. They didn’t even say “yes, until further approval” it was just flat out “nope” and they review sites every Monday and would look at it again… riiight, we’ll see about that. The forum gets more hits than the site that got approved and I would place the links as the 2nd post of every thread page so I don’t understand the problem, but we’ll see, maybe they will approve it at a later date.

So at this point I’m going to have to recommend text-link-ads , but we’ll see how the actual sales go.

So I decided to venture into the world of text-link-ads where you put a piece of code on your site and they sell links for you and then display them and in turn you get paid for the links. It seems like a good concept and the site is pretty slick and easy to use. This is my first time using them so I figured I’d start documenting my experience.

The site I am putting it on is a site that was getting about 30,000 unique hits for the past few months. It no longer gets that many hits due to it being a fan site about a movie and the movie as since come out. I still receive roughly 3,000 unique hits a day of people that are just now finding the site, so it still does very well. I have placed the code in the upper left corner of the content area of the page in the left sidebar so we’ll see how it does. The code was installed yesterday and nothing has appeared yet, although they say this is normal and that I should start seeing paid links within a week. So all we can do now is wait and I will keep you posted on what sort of results I see with this new program.
