Text Link Ads - Final Results with Poor ROI

It has now been a month since I purchased a Text Link Ads from 2 websites, for testing purposes. To me I do not think it was worth the purchase. I only purchased 2 TLA from pretty favorable websites. I wanted to see for the month of September if anything increased, RSS, Loyal Readers, Income, etc. To my surprise nothing, I have gained some income maybe a little growth in RSS but nothing substantial.

Two mistakes you made - 1.) a month is hardly enought time to evaluate whether a link is effective or not. In y experience, you need more like 2-3 months. 2.) You just revealed your strategy to the whole world (including Google).

thanks david for your comment - hmm when you say 2-3 months - do you suggests using the same links? or maybe new ones? and google is another story for me

IMHO you have to let the link buy run for at least 6 months, but as david says you should see something after 3 months

Two links aren’t enough to draw a conclusion either IMO.

You just revealed your strategy to the whole world (including Google). Text Link Ads has revealed their strategy to the entire world too.  Every link sold by Text Link Ads is now detectable.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yNu_NM4VCE
