    Hello guyz,
    do you know if there is any time delay to report a referred user on text-link-ads.com. I had about 60 clicks and 0 refs and I found it quite strange.

    Wouldnt you have to wait it out a month for a confirmed sale, to make sure the advertiser stays on board and there isnt any hiccups? I'm just guessing but surely they'd be safeguards for them of some sort.

    Also, why are you so surprised you havent generated a sale from 60 clicks? With decent affiliate programs having a 1-2% conversion, there's nothing to be shocked about, plus that's a very small sample.

    I wouldn't really worry. I also thought Text-Link-Ads was reporting rather strange, but I have had my first referral and earn't $25. I earn't this after sending them around 90 visitors.

    These visitors are very targeted though. Hopefully I will start earning no less than $25 per month from Text-Link-Ads.

    Hi guys,

    Text Link Ads is one of my clients so I can tell you how it works.

    They don't need to wait to be sure referrals make a sale before you get a commission. If TLA approves them as a publisher you will get the commish in the next pay cycle.

    However not everyone that clicks through will ever even apply and some that apply will not be approved if they are junky sites. But trust that you will be paid for any legit referrals that get approved. With the average affiliate program you can hope of 1 sale out of 100 clicks, so 60 clicks is not enough to base any decisions on.

    Hope this helps and best of luck!

    I agree with 5starAffiliates. I've purchased links, published links, and refer them. :)

    I've got 83 clicks so far, so I guess I'm due. lol
