    Can anybody help me out with this? I've got one post level ad. I can't seem to get any offers for a permanent link on my sidebar.

    Hey Everton,

    Great stuff, I'm quite glad we signed up with them when we did. We consistently make over $500/month with them these days, and with basically no effort. THIS qualifies as passive income - talk about Blog Monetization Zen.

    Yes, they keep 50%, but fact is that's the cost of being in their catalog of links that people to go IN ORDER TO BUY LINKS. If you're not there, they'll buy links on another site.

    One mistake many people make (I think) is to leave a very low price for their blogs. Of course, don't set it too high... just value yourself "right".

    We're already up to $570 this month - and it's only the 19th.

    Have an awesome day!

    You guys always talk about adjusting your price of TLA. Mine was set by them. Do I have to change my approval setting in order to adjust my price?

    Hey Listikal,

    Lots of people change their TLA prices to something they consider more representative of the value of their blog. ReviewMe (their sister company) already has an option to change your price online (as of a few months ago), and it's likely TLA will eventually as well.

    Every business transaction has to be agreeable and attractive to both parties. If you don't like what you have now, email them and ask for a different price. :-)

    Good luck!!!

    Have an awesome day!

    @D&J and Everton

    Thanks guys, I'm somewhat frustrated with TLA right now just due to the fact that I wasn't even in their catalog for appoxiamately six months without any notice. They finally got me back in at $30/month, but I'm still waiting for my first offer.

    I'm getting reasonable traffic, but I think I just need my PR to just get that extra boost.

    doublecheck what categories you are listed in. For instance, I do very well in .co.uk

    Wow, I really didn't think people made money off this stuff. I have been doing a little reading on it now and it looks like some do.

    I have thought about putting ad sense on my blog but really my blog doesn't get all that many hits. I get around 100 on a slow day and as many as 900+ on a good day but I know that's not a lot compared to some real sites.

    Thanks for posting about this though. It is informational!

    TLA have been a much better performer for me than AdCents or whatever it's called...The great thing about it is that it's confirmed money in the bank regardless of impressions, clicks, etc.

    My only concern is how their model fits in with Google's policy on paid links. I've emailed their support team and am waiting on a response.

    I have also been considering using TLA for a while, but I was not sure if I could make any money due to my low PR. I have been working on increasing it.

    Dora is one of the most popular Nick Jr. Characters, and fortunately, there are many online printable Dora theme party pictures and coloring pages. There are also plenty of Dora party items, like plates, party favors, cups, and games available at party specialty stores, online, or in department stores.

    I just started a music sheet site and am considering text ad links. [www.creationguitarist.com] From my understanding , tld payout is fixed based on the google PR regardless of the number of clicks. is that right?
