Interview with Patrick Gavin of TextLinkAds

Quote:...TextLinkAds...have made a marketing push this month which may succeed in TextLinkAds being one of the most popular forms of site monetization besides Google AdSense and Yahoo Publisher Network.

Unlike the forementioned offerings from Google and Yahoo, TextLinkAds is a bit different as it is not contextual advertising per say. TextLinkAds delivers link ads on top quality publisher sites and pays those publishers via a flat monthly rate per each link sold.

Additionally, one massive difference between TextLinkAds and the contextual advertising options on the market is that TextLinkAds is a kind of a hybrid between organic link buying and an advertising selling service. The links which are bought via TextLinkAds can be served as organic links, which if planned correctly can help the advertiser site improve in organic search engine rankings on Yahoo, Google, MSN Search and/or Ask Teoma.

The mix offered via TLA is beneficial for SEO, attracting targeted traffic, and also benefiting the publishers financially in the TextLinkAds network.

Quote:Why Made For Text Link Ads Are Making Money:

Its very simple. People that buy Text Link Ads do it for the PR transfer and an increase in SERP’s (Search Engine Ranking Pages). Here is an exmample from JC, as you can see some of these sites have nothing to do with making money online!

If your site has Page Rank and you are in the same niche people want to be on your site. If you send traffic their way even better, if not they will still happily keep there links there.

The backlink will also help the site get indexed and increase it’s ranking in the search engines. This is good for the owner of the site, beacause if they are ranking well for their search term they get loads of natural/organic traffic. Organic traffic coming from search engines is the best kind because people are LOOKING for you. Not the other way around...
