How to make money from Text-Link-Ads

    Im going to share a little secret. It really wont hurt me to share so thats why I am doing it.

    To keep this simple I made a crappy site about home equity loans.

    I put 100 articles on there.

    Submitted to directories and got a PR4.

    Got an amazing alexa rank of 6 million.

    Start selling links on the site at text-link-ads and they priced it at $45. Well I sold out all my slots in 2 months and now I am getting $200 a month for doing nothing.

    Rinse and repeat.

    Basically there is a huge market for loan links on text-link-ads. Take advantage of it.

    Thanks for that tip.

    For the articles I just copied them from an article site. Doesnt matter what one just go to the loan category and copy away.

    Here is the site if you really want to see it to see how much people are willing to pay for basically a text link that wont help them too much.

    TLA operates on a 50% rev share. So that $45 is actually $22.5 :p

    Thanks :)

    Not really sure how valuable it is though. But if you can make 10 or so sites and max out with ten links on each site then I guess it could be. That would be 1k+ a month.

    Until it becomes saturated with loan sites though..
