TLA sucks, they cheated me for $500. I got banned just before the payment. I’ve emailed them so many times, no respond. I guess this is how they make money after Google start to punish website running Text Link Ads.

Think twice before run TLA on your site.

I just joined TLa and was looking around for some feedback about TLA’s service.

I’m hoping for some revenue from them and maybe won’t get burned in the process.

I’m using Adsense and TLA. The site’s all about science fiction.

Thanks John. I’m looking at Text Link Ad to see if I can get any money. But your pagerank 6 site make only $170/month and they do trick on you. So let’s forget it for now.

Did you email them about this post? I guess they maybe loosing too much and so they keep the money to prepare bankruptcy.

I have to agree with one of Everton’s comments. I have had one of my blogs PR drop due only to TLA on the site. While not totally a restraint of trade, google is effectively killing off a large amount of TLA’s business.

Just another example of what happens when you get a company with the power of google. This harps back to the olds days of MS when it went after all opposition, no matter how small.

I have not removed TLA from my sites yet. I don’t really want to, but I guess I will have to evaluate that should it start to impact too significantly.

I bought some TLA for one of my sites and PR wasn’t hurt but SERPs dropped. I am not sure if I was just enjoying high ranks temporarily because of the newness of the site before they went away but I decided to not pay for TLA links. They are too obvious as an attempt PR tool. They may be OK as a link for humans but they can be filtered by the bots.

John, you shouldn’t have expect TLA to be nice. They are in for the money of course and not to make us all happy. I am pretty sure that they do not refund the advertisers and they just get mean with people deciding to stop using their service to save their blogs. A desperately mean move to get back from Google… or something.

The one eye (the G eye) is on TLA now. As for us bloggers, I think we should all learn our lessons and start to love the Penneys Adsense pays. Or we can all kiss our PRs good bye.

Ok, I know some of you may find the above a little bit agressive, but I never meant it to be. I just hate it, and I am sure everyone else does, to get caught between the fires of 2 internet companies who are enormously different in the size and magnitude. you know who’s gonna win, who’s loosing, and you know who’s gonna be lost in the battle.
