This Months Text Link Ads Payment and The Namedrive Experiement
by Matt on , under My Earnings
I’m falling in love with the Text Link Ads affiliate program. The Paypal rollouts are unbelievably smooth with no fee for the lodgement. Again this months earnings from TLA are embrassingly modest, due in part to a massive slow down in traffic to My Kewl Space. Last month the site had reached a peak of 700 daily uniques, decreasing to around 200 recently. Since then there hasn’t been anymore interest in the links on that site.
An update on the Namedrive Experiment
Last month you might remember I carried out an experiment over on Namedrive where I bought 4 obscenely long .info domains, with the objective of ranking well for the subsequent keyphrases in Google. Here’s my earnings for February.
Success or failure? I’ll let you decide! A $0.05 return on a $12 investment isn’t exactly awe-inspiring but at least it’s taught me that relying on Google for traffic to parked domains is foolish. I think I’ll reinvest this months earnings from Text Link Ads into buying 4 domain typos to see how they perform. Surely they can’t do any worse than those 4 .info’s!

I really ought to give the TLA affiliate program a go. Never really thought about promoting it…

Haven’t .info domains been selling for under 99c lately. I’m sure I picked up a couple last month for like 89c or something.

It’s good that you are doing some research, experiment and revealing/sharing those info with your readers. At least we learn something as well. Keep up the good work…
I think your title has the “experiement” spelled wrongly.
