Text-link-ads on Binary Moon

Just over a month ago I added Text-Link-Ads to this website and I have been amazed by the response - not from the people reading my website - they haven't said a word, but by the huge piles of cash I was sent last month.

Ok... huge piles of cash is exaggerating more than a little bit, but so far I have earnt $350 for adding a few links to my site. That can't be bad right?

If you haven't noticed them the ads are in the sidebar on the left, down below the links to Binary Joy. They're not a prominent part of the page and as such their price is lessened, but I get $60 per link per month that they are on the site, so I am very happy. The ads actually sell for $120 and text-link-ads.com, who take care of the sales and the technology, split that 50/50 with me.

For those who haven't heard of them text-link-ads are actually run by the same folks who created reviewme.com.

I also have the ads on Binary Joy, but they aren't performing so well. The site is younger with less traffic so I only get $30 for each of the ads on there. That said the traffic and content on Binary Joy are growing daily, and it's already a pr6 site so with any luck things will continue to improve and the link price will also rise. I wonder if not having the ads on the homepage is making a difference as well since I have so far only sold 2 slots on there.

Feedvertising

The text-link-ads people also run a service called feedvertising. This lets you add small text ads to your rss feeds. The ads are basically the same as the text-link-ads, just single links, and I assume they sell for the same price. I am now considering adding them to my feeds but can not decide whether to include them or not as they are slightly more invasive than the text ads I use on the actual site. I have seen other people using them and consider them reasonably subtle but I would be interested to hear other people thoughts?

If all this sounds good (it's free money so I can't see why it wouldn't) then you should go to Text-Link-Ads.com and sign up now.

If you're interested in advertising on Binary Moon (I appear to be popular so you may have to wait a while) then you can do so here, and you can get info about the Binary Joy links here. I think the Binary Joy links would be an ideal option for anyone wanting to advertise Games or Computer related products.
