    Hi,

    Im looking at new ways to market my site and push the serps and was thinking about buying in a few high pr links.
    I found a comapny called text link ads and was wondering if anyone has used them before?

    Is there any danger in using them?
    Dont want to lose any septs that i have at the moment so does anyone no if any search engines see TLA sites as spam? I cant see how they would know its a TLA site ...

    There is no danger is using Text Link Ads. They are very well known and respected with most webmasters. I have used them personally and I've never had a problem with them :)

    Cool ... thanks for the quick reply ...

    I thought that i read a post in these forums once saying that sites using TLA sponsored links were being penalised/dropped by Google? I have tried looking for the thread but i can't find it ...

    Or am i getting TLA mixed up with the Co-op advertising thing ???

    We have some clients using Text-Link-Ads and the result is very good! Although, please be reminded that your sites success will still depend on your niche.

    Text links ads is great, besides the fact that I almost never get a response from support.

    TLA is awesome...I use it from both ends (I buy links from other sites, and sell for my own). Definitely a SERPs boosters...but you need to keep the links on the sites for a few months for it to have a noticeable effect.

    As both an advertiser and publisher, i can say that TLA has been quite good for business.

    the prices that TLA advertise at ... can you get them to drop?
    for example a link for $50 can you offer $40 ???
    Or is it what you see is what you pay?

    They're good but they aren't the most economical choice for advertisers - probably worthwhile approaching webmaster directly and negotiating a price.
    From a publisher's point of view they're good, but you don't get too many offers (well, I dont).

    They seem to be professional enough. I think you should ask to buy some quality links from other DP members, its usually a bit cheaper and theres loads of good quality sites available in most niches.

    One word of caution:

    Don't buy links too quickly, keeps your links for a long time (6 months +) and build up other links at the same time
