UPDTAE: Apparently there are some issues with this program. I haven’t received any info on it, but the ads have disappeared that I was using and when I try to log in to my account it comes up as a 404 Error Not found. In the meantime I guess you could click here and look at this site for a friend…lol

Just got an e-mail this week from TextLink Ads that notified me I could start using Shopping Ads in my posts. Interesting new add on to your monetizing of your blogs I do say so myself. If you have seen Auction Ads in the past you should be quite familiar with the layout of these ads, but there is a bit of a different approach with these. You get paid on the click for these rather than someone having to go through to Ebay and eventually sign up and buy something to get paid.

Here’s an example of one of the ads:

The ads can be categorized rather than relying on your content to pull the products like Adsense would. They also do not break the TOS for Adsense so you can run them at the same time. You can use any size format you would like as well and the colors aren’t restricted either. If you have used Auction Ads it is almost the exact same set up except you get paid for clicks rather than a long sign up process.

Text-Link Ads is actually a nice program for your blog anyways with out this service. I rather like it as it just pays you to have links on your sidebar. It also allows you to sell ad space in blog posts. These are monthly recurring payments until an advertiser cancels the link. With Wordpress it is very easy to set up as they have a plugin to set you up really easily once you get approved. Approval is almost instant.

I just started testing this out on a few sites today so I guess I’ll see how effective they are with their reports. TLA has always been pretty good at keeping this stuff run correctly so I don’t forsee any issues with it. If you are already in TLA make sure to look and see if you have gotten an e-mail about this program. It definitely looks like a very good one. It is quite in depth in how well you can categorize your ads. Take this Mudkips post on my serious business blog for example and how I am able to show only Pokemon ads .
