Found May 04, 2009 on The Sports Dollar:


At some point, we all decided to check out the evil-text-link-stepchild, also known as Text-Link-Ads to try and snag a couple of extra dollars for our sports blog or 888 betting website.  And then right after we did that, we wondered why our website’s PageRank took an instantaneous dip towards the gutter.  Well, if you had done 1 Google search worth of research on this money making machine, you would have realized Google severely penalizes just about anyone for using the service.  Remember, Google loves limiting our income potential!

In order for Text-Link-Ads to work, you needed to install a “feed” into your site which would be populated with any inventory that TLA sold for you.  The process was automatic and there was virtually no upkeep, but the issue with Google hating you for using it remained.  So TLA is offering a new service which should help you to sell text links but also hide a little from big brother, Google. 

TLA now offers you the opportunity to manually install text links when an advertiser loves you.  This way, you can drop your ad into that “resource center” or other sneaky widget you’ve made especially for those text links. 

Here are the steps to follow in this program:
  1. You will receive email notifications when an ad is purchased from your site.  To verify you are placing it on the correct page, TLA will spider immediately.
  2. If you do not place the ad within 3 days, it will be automatically cancelled.  Also, if you do not approve/decline an ad 3 times, you’re inventory will be removed from the service.
  3. Instructions for the ad will be included so you know exactly what is going down and whether it is a betting site something else related to your material.
Any questions?  Pretty simple…and it’s about damn time they started this.
