About a week ago I submitted the question "Text-Link-Ads.com - All about the page rank? clicks? or both?". I had just added the TLA code to one of my most visited sites (a niche site, that's only PR4) and wanted to know what experience other community members had had with TLA. Well I got an error when I tried to submit the post, so the question never actually made it on to Bumpzee.

One week on, I'd thought I'd share my 'limited' experience with other members considering using TLA, and ask the question again.

My experience is that it's ALL about the Page Rank, nothing more, nothing less. My site is only a page rank 4, but it generates 1500 readers per day and 3400 page views per day. Not too shabby, but being a niche site I struggling to get the PR over 4.

I placed the TLA code in a really prominent position, almost guaranteeing quality clicks/visitors for TLA advertisers, but still TLA haven't managed to sell a link.

I contacted TLA Customer Services asking them whether they were selling Page Rank or Actual Clicks? They answered, "both". I also asked whether they used Alexa Rankings to decide the value of links on my site. They answered "We use number of factors to work out the price. Yes, Alexa is used in deciding the price".

I assumed that the TLA code would provide them with some form of metrics to be used in deciding the price of text links on my site, but it seems not.

Well I plan to give them another week, then pull it. What experience have you had with TLA?
