They use an .xml file to send the urls to your site.. then a php script that calls the urls from the .xml

Oh I see. Probably I remembered this for another company (adbrite)

PR is not so important with them. After all the ads are displayed through javascript. Right?

you're a little wrong my friend

TLA accepts only website with a PR because the links are real!

Yeah I just realized that

i removed tla from a site of mine. i dont get it how they pay you. first i sold three, and they said my links are worth $15 each (8 for sale). but the three links they sold is only worth $12 each. so my stats say my earnings is $36. when i looked again it only reflects $2 because the links just lasted only a few days but when i looked at my site, the three links are still there on my site for free! so there, i removed it.

Vince, it was better to send a mail to support, Patrick is very helpfull to publisher and advertisers, but maybe now it's to late

maybe i will check their feed in a few days...

Nikolas if you are referring to TLA, I am pretty sure they are displayed as hard links.

I have been accepted to TLA ($25 per link) but their directory of advertisers is very big and small publishers get lost in there; of course the big advertisers that have money to spend don't want to go with small blogs like mine either;  so I decided to take the code off and I have actually managed to sell a couple of links myself

About a month ago TLA announced privatelly a new program which I think advertisers get to pick words as hard links to their sites and publishers actually get to accept them or not (I am part of it but have not seen anything yet).

Another info some people might not know is that TLA are the same company with auctionads.com and reviewme.com (just for you info)

what is that program?

In general I don't think it is too hard to sell links by yourself, right?

I have used services to sell links in my sites in the past, but nothing helped like a few posts in webmaster forums

yes right, I guess you have more sales that way but TLA & co. is less work

youre right. i think if ever i would sell links again, id do it on my own like what Nik does.

Olaf, the program is called inlinks but its not advertised anywhere, but if you are a member they send you the email to download the code for it. (don't know what the deal is and they are being so secretive)

Selling links on your own I think its so much better and it costs less to your client (can actually go so much lower then the TLA program gives you and still get more then they would give you).  I realized setting up a paypal subscription takes away the burden of having to remember when is the next payment due and actually collect it.  So now I am hassle free ....

Still there is an advantage having being accepted in such programs TLA, buy-selltextlinks.com/, reviewme.com etc you have a link pointing to your domain

I guess you mean the new blog post links, they are much cheaper than regular links. These are very new and they didn't have the same functionality than regular links.

But you're right the first site is very hard to get approved.

I must say they are much better than for example Adbrite (not only because these are direct links). I use TLA also as advertiser and must say if you have a good placement you have also a good source and a direct PR4 or higher link from a related site. They are also very straight in refunds if some publisher has removed the link or the whole website

while the company is very big you can contact (if needed) Patrick Gavin directly and he is very helpful. Maybe the need to stop sending the welcome letter by ord. mail after every order...lol

There referral programme is quite useful, I've made several hundred dollars so far.

The 50% commission they take keeps me away I will never use them, that's highway robbery if you ask me!

Does google penalize you for selling links on your site?

yes, there is also a special form on the G webmaster site to trport people buying/selling links (selling pagerank)

So what is the best way to sell links? Also, does it hurt your page ranking if you do?
