Make Money by Selling Text Link Ads on Your Blog

by Paula Neal Mooney

I can hardly wait to get some text link ads up on this blog. I learned about them thru both Darren Rowse's and Michael Arrington's blogs, so I've been chomping at the bit to get some of that ad revenue as well.

Looks like one way bloggers can make money is thru their affiliate program by referring sales to Text Link Ads or by referring publishers to Text Link Ads. They say they "pay out a flat $25.00 for any referred visitor that results in a sale or gets accepted into our publisher program."

Now there's the rub! I've submitted this blog and didn't hear anything back in the 24 hours listed, so of course I shot off an email and even considered calling the 1-800 listed but refrained. Before long I got an email and more feedback that said:

"This domain has been previously submitted to our publisher program and has not been approved yet. Please note that we re-evaluate all submissions monthly and you will receive an email as soon as your submission has been approved. You do not need to submit your site again. Thank you."

Another way to make money with Text Link Ads is to sell ad space for text link ads off your website, monetize your RSS feed or to become a text link ads affiliate. Easy peasy.
Text Link AdsSo in the meantime, while I'm salivating for them to approve my blog, it's interesting to check their blog juice and text link ad calculator (under the Make Money, Free Tools tab) which shows you how your blog stacks up against the competition and also gives you a good indication of the location and types of ads that bring in the most dollars.

Gambling -- something I refuse to promote -- pays the most, it appears. But so do ads about finance, hence this blog post informing all my lovely readers of another way to make money blogging, and to encourage them to sign up for text link ads and see if they can get approved. I wonder what the criteria is? As always, I'll let you all know when I finally make it in!

Hi Lisa! Yeah, just a quick Google search of "google adsense and text link ads" and a cursory review of the results seems like it's okay and that folks are running both on their approved blogs.

Let's hope our approvals come thru soon. In the meantime, keep on bloggin'!

Paula's List of Blogger Salaries...Are you on the list?

Update: For those who continue to enjoy this post, check out my website about 50 real online people making more than $50k per year , and my page where I update my online salary . UPDATE: Before you read any further or especially link to this old list, please check out "Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007" by clicking here! ~ Thanks, PAULA NEAL MOONEY by Paula Neal Mooney One of my favorite features in Parade magazine is the issue where they grab a random sampling of people and report their incomes -- from the millionaires to the working poor. Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab...
