10 Easy Ways to Increase your Textlinkads Income
16. Feb 2007 | 8 Comments
Textlinkads has become a superb alternate source of income for many webmasters. Some are pulling in thousands per month from one site or even a network of sites. However, many webmasters get put off from Textlinkads because they’re not selling any links or they’re not making enough from the link they are selling.
Firstly, sign up to Textlinkads if you haven’t already.
You can also grab yourself a free link on Earner’s Blog with our $100 Voucher. See Advertising.
Here’s a list of some simple tips & tricks you can use to add to your income. One thing I always stress is DIVERSIFY your income streams. Then learn to increase each channel bit by bit. These tips should help you at least double your Textlinkads income, if not more.1. Work on backlinks to increase the Pagerank of your blog, Pagerank greatly increases the”value” of your link. It’ll also attract more buyers & help you rank better if they “Sort by Link Popularity.”
2. Increase traffic to reduce your alexa rank, blogs with lower alexa ranks tend to sell more links since you can “Sort by Alexa” in Textlinkads.
3. Place your Textlinkads above the fold, you earn more money per link if they are well placed.
4. Utilise Subdomains where possible, subdomains are classified as a seperate domain so you can sell seperate textlinkads on each subdomain. For example if all my categories in Earners Blog were subdomains technically I could have 25 Different listings in Textlinkads & potentially pull in 25x more revenue.
5. Ask the guys at textlinkads to increase the price of your link if you’re not happy with the automatic pricing system. This is something most Publishers fail to do. I know I wouldn’t be happy selling a link at $15, hell it’s not worth my while.
6. Make sure they categorise your site in the appropiate Category. Otherwise you won’t get found. Increasing your price also increases your chances of selling a link whilst people are browsing by category. Drop an email to them if you need to change your category.
7. Promote the Textlinkads Affiliate Program on your site, encourage anyone to give it a try. You get $25 per referral.
8. Do the double whammy, tell people you’re giving away free textlinks on your site & get them to sign up via your affiliate link. You’re getting the $25 for the referral, they’re buying the link for free & you’re getting the revenue from the link purchase. Everyone’s happy.
9. Have a dedicated advertising page outlining the various advertising solutions you provide on your website.
10. Have the textlinkads in a prominent place. If you situate them well more people are likely to purchase them. I know I’d rather purchase a link that was in the top right rather than below the footer.
That about covers this lesson, happy earning

Thanks for the tips, Stuart.. I like #5 and I agree that most publishers don’t think of doing that. Did you successfully increase the pricing for your websites just by asking TLA?
BTW, I recently wrote a somewhat similar article on how to increase TextLink Ads commissions. If anyone’s interested, you can click on my name to read more.

Thanks for the articles in your blog. Here in germany there are also some services like Textlinkads, but they are really new and not that popular so far. But maybe in a few month.
But your also your other tips are great and many of them can be used in germany as well.
Keep up the good work.

Heard anything about the rumors that textlinkads, etc. lower your SERP?
I’m a bit afraid to add textlinkads to those of my sites that rank very well in Google, but on the other hand it’s sad to say no to free money…

I have tried to monetize my site with TLA but I did not qualify. I also heard that the sites using the links may be penalized in some way in the future by google. Don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s making me shy away from using them as an advertiser.

Hi,
My experience with TLA suggests that a site generally qualifies only if its PR is greater than 3. I may be wrong but PR plays a very important part in TLA approval process.
Secondly, I have seen that generic websites tend to do well – than niche ones.
