So, what is the conclussion?
I only have PR 3 on my website…
Should I use the TLA monetization?
Or just remove it from the list of monetization of my websites?

Can anyone give me an idea if text link ads are worth setting up? Kind of new to this, I blog pretty much for fun, not money..(wouldn’t mind making a few buck a month though) ..but would like to attract more visitors. Any ideas for a newbie would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I do understand the facts; in this case I’m just interpreting them differently and coming to different conclusions than you are.

I don’t necessarily think a PR4 site will cost more in December, since it will still give the buyer the same value as a PR4 site did before December. As far as I know, the benefit Google gives a site for an incoming PR4 link has not changed, so an incoming PR4 link is worth the same.

If you want to talk supply and demand, I’d suspect that there are more PR4 sites around now (or in December) than there were before the adjustment, so if anything, the increase in supply would drive the price down, not up.

I agree that they don’t ONLY want high PR sites, but the PR is what makes their purchase valuable (whether it’s one PR6 ad vs. 20 PR4 ads).

I think we’re basically just disagreeing over our speculation of how the TLA market will go over the next few months. If I understand you correctly, you think it will improve (or at least stay fairly level), while I think this is the beginning of a fairly sharp decline which will quickly lead to text link ads being non-marketable.

I don’t care too much which way it goes. For your sake, I hope that you’re right, but there is also a case to be made that Google’s search results would be better in the long run as they continue to move towards squashing the effectiveness / worth of paid links, because they dilute the value of what a link means in Google’s algorithm. I predict they will continue in this direction, and that can only be bad news for TLA.

Why don’t you understand the facts?

The value of a PR4 link will cost more in Dec. then it would have 2 weeks ago and that cost will gradually start increasing as more PR8, PR7, PR6, PR5, PR4, PR3, PR2 sites get penalized. It’s a matter of just lowering the bar.

Yes, it will not be exactly the same but it should not be a drastic change after some normalization sets in.

Also, TLA advertisers DO NOT ONLY want high PR sites. I sold more links when I was a 4 and 5 then I did when I was a 6 just because the links cost more.

More links are sold to the mid range because buying 20 links at PR4 is better then buying 1 PR6 link at the same price.

Here’s an image.
