Around two months ago, one of my blogger friends personally showed me his Text Link Ads (TLA) check worth $800. After that, I asked some other bloggers how they were faring with TLA. They gave me some promising numbers. I decided to try it out as well. Two weeks later, I have one advertiser on my site. Not a bad start, eh?

Looking at Abe’s latest TLA post, I see that he is actually doing quite well with TLA. He even gives out some handy advice on how to get more advertisers. Reading his advice, I think Carl and Shari (the Misteryosa) could easily get more advertisers. Carl could just showcase his Alexa numbers. Shari could pitch to potential advertisers that her blog is featured on mainstream media.

You see, Carl has this long Alexa train thing going on which pumped up his ranking. Here’s what his train looked like:

~Start Copying Here~

Alexa Redirect Train by Carl Ocab

Rules:

1. Put anything you like above this list – Chit Chat, talkies, introduce what this is. Something like that -)
2. Start copying on the “~Start Copying Here~” and copy all the things listed without removing the links (Of course, the train would be no use without those links)
3. Move all the sites labeled “Newcomers” to the list labeled “Oldies”
4. Add 5 sites that you want to include in the train and make their link like this: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.example.com then invite them to join the train.
5. Visit all the listed sites! (That’s not much work! Remember, if you plant good seeds they will also grow good) and look at your high Alexa ranking next week!

You might want to join the train as well.

Shari, on the other hand, should showcase the recent Philippine Blog Awards and tell all her potential advertisers how much traffic she gets. She could pitch to them that her blog was featured in Manila Bulletin.

Both Carl and Shari have Text Link Ads. I’m pretty sure they are probably getting income from it already.

I checked my TLA numbers and I already up to almost $20. I hope I can reach my friend’s $800 figure as well.
