Text Link Ads Error?
Filed in: Make Money Online, Site News, Text Link Ads tips — June 2nd, 2006
Woke up in the morning, and discovered that LiewCF.com and some of my other websites are blank! I panicked! What’s wrong?
After troubleshooting for sometime, I discovered that it was caused by Text Link Ads(TLA) code in the sidebar.
Text Link Ads plugin error?
I was using TLA wordpress plugin and it was working fine. Maybe they updated the coding? I downloaded the TLA wordpress plugin again and discovered that there were some code changes in the file, although the plugin version is still same. The new plugin use unordered list for links, instead of tables.
However, applying the new plugin file did not solve the problem. I was still getting blank pages.
Text Link Ads code error?
Ok, if wordpress plugin did not work, how about PHP coding? I disabled TLA plugin and applied TLA PHP code on my template. It did not solve the problem either.
I had no choice but to disable TLA for the moment. I have already sent an email to TLA team about the problem.
Received TLA Payment (May 2006)
On the bright side, I received TLA payment for May 2006. The total (publisher and affiliate payments) is over USD200. 
In May 2006, I added my another two websites to TLA, that’s why the revenue was increased.

They were down on my tech site aswell…i don’t know if they caused any downtime though =\
I hope next month there will be more text link ads sales in my blog, for this one there was one, but that’s good too.

It needs patience, high PR and fairly good traffic CypherHackz, keep updating and put the links in a good place, you should get some sales, eventually =).

@colbert: yes, you can use TLA with Google AdSense ads together on one page.
