Has anyone heard that LinkWorth is no longer accepting gambling ads from buyers and is cancelling all existing ones on its publisher's partner sites? Does Text Link Ads allow gambling ads? TIA
TLA does allow gambling ad's and as far as I'm aware linkworth still does as well, where did you hear they were cancelling the gambling ads?
Below is a copy of an email sent to an advertiser/buyer. Dear , As of December 1st, 2008, LinkWorth will no longer be accepting any new advertisers related to the gambling and/or gaming industry. If you have existing ads related to this industry, they will be canceled at the end of November and no longer be eligible for renewal. We are deeply saddened by having to make this announcement to our existing advertisers. Our gambling advertisers have been among some of our best and some of our most loyal. We only hope that you understand this was a tough business decision, but one that we had to make with our company's future in mind. Please note that we are not closing any accounts, we are only taking advertisements offline that are related to the gambling and/or gaming industry. If you are promoting other verticals, this change will not affect these advertisements in any way. During our planning of this change, we have been in talks with another company that can help transition your linking campaigns from our system into theirs. We understand the work involved in each campaign and we wanted to make sure a viable option was available, one that we could trust to help. The good people over at Text-Link-Ads.com (TLA), along with their UK partner, would like to help make the transition a smooth one. They have assigned an account specialist who will be working with you individually to devise a winning transition strategy. Your direct contact with them is Brock Boser, . If you would like TLA to help you build an account with them, we would be happy to provide them all of your campaign details so they can properly set everything up for you. Please respond with a confirmation to release your info and we will do so. Again, we apologize for the obvious inconveniences that this may cause. Kind Regards, Ron Wicker, President LinkWorth.com
So linkworth is moving all their gambling advertisers over to TLA, i have an account with both companies, and did notice one ad cancelled on my linkworth account today, Oh well, more business for TLA i guess.
Yes they did notified me via email. And they said they will moved all my gambling ads to TLA What is best is they promise to give me 1 month free trial with TLA
Good for advertisers not so good for publishers, moving gambling links has pretty much wiped out my linkworth account, i have a TLA account as well but i dont see any increase there
well i didn't know anything about it until i read this thread here on DP, i spent the last 6 weeks building up a lot of gambling links and now there all gone , and I'm still waiting for payment for publishing Novembers links. When are they likely to pay that? is it not usually the first of the month? Yesterday...
