The purpose of removing the Text Link Ads service from my site was to avoid any kind of punishment from Google associated with selling links. The service that Tom suggested (and I've edited out) doesn't use the nofollow tag, so there's no reason to use it over the TLA service. 2. I think Tom just wanted people to visit his site/review and in turn sign up for the service using his referral tag. Hence my removal of the link. ---Semi-original comment by Tom--- Another similar program worth considering is *****. I've been using this service for a few months now and so far I'm quite happy with the results. I haven't had a chance to advertise with this system yet, but as a publisher I love the freedom to sell ad space based on my own prices. Check out this review (link removed) that I wrote for more info. Edited by Ross

I'd be kidding myself to think I'd do any better. So this Google PageRank thing is just more evidence to aid my monetization procrastination.

What I find somewhat amusing is that both blogs have the same PR, so if people really do just want to buy links from sites w/ decent PR, why does this site sell 7/8 and the other 0/8. @Steven Hodson:

I tried the service for various periods of time since TLA first came on the scene - usually for three month periods at a time. The last round of inaction was enough and as much as I may not like using AdSense at least I finally go a check from them after a year :) .. hopefully it'll only be 10 months before the next one LOL I pulled out of TLA for a much simpler reason … absolutely no ads from their service was ever displayed in the sidebar widget nor in the RSS feed.
