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.

Text Link Ads has revealed their strategy to the entire world too. Every link sold by Text Link Ads is now detectable.
