Text Link Ads - Linking, Blogging, Website Marketing

Text Link Ads Inc, is an online marketing firm based at Cincinnati, Ohio.

Text Link Ads buys and sells online advertisements that are designed to drive targeted traffic and raise link popularity. They service a wide range of clients from Fortune 500 businesses to individual website owners.

Patrick Gavin, the current President of Text Link Ads, founded Text Link Ads in 2003. He previously did pay per click management and SEO for clients of his PatrickGavin.com business

Text Link Ads are unique because they are simple, direct, HTML links.

You can make money by selling Ad Space for Text Link Ads, by setting up a banner or text link on your website. You receive 50% of the sale price for each text link ad sold off your website through their system and any referred traffic that results in a new paid client or new publisher will earn you $25.00.

Alternately, you can use Text Link Ads as static links that can help your natural (organic) search engine rankings, as Text Link Ads have an exhaustive inventory of quality niches that can send targeted traffic to your website. This allows them to provide an outstanding approach to advertising because it affordably allows you to tap into the flow of traffic from large sites drawing your target audience.

Text Link Ads are priced at a flat rate per month per link. You prepay for a 30 day run of your ad. Your ad will never be turned off if it gets too many impressions or clicks. Their pricing algorithm is based on a website’s: traffic, theme, ad position, and link popularity when setting the flat ad rate per month. Hence, you don't have to ever worry about cost per click or CPM rates.

You can also control the links that will appear on your site, because Text Link Ads can be run along any ad system as it is not a contextually served product.

Unfortunately, you must have a dedicated hosting account to publish your Blogger blog, as their script will not work.

If you are considering a text link campaign targeted at increasing backlinks rather than just click-throughs, you may be wise to choose Text Link Ads.

If you already use them, you know this by now. If not, you're missing out on something easy. Give them a try !

The two nuns.

There were two nuns.

One of them is known as Sister Mathematical (SM) and the other one is known as Sister Logical (SL).

It was getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.

SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past
thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.

SL: It’s logical. He wants to rape us.

SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most. What can we do?

SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster.

SM: It’s not working!

SL: Of course it’s not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster too.

SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute.

SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I’ll go this way. He cannot follow us both.

So the man decided to follow Sister Logical. Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is worried what has happened to Sister Logical. Then Sister Logical arrives.

SM: Sister Logical! Thank the lord you are here! Tell me what happened!

SL: The only logical thing happened. The man couldn’t follow us both, so he followed me.

SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?

SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.

SM: And?

SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me....

SM: What did you do?

SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress up....

SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?

SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants....

SM: Oh, no! What happened then?

SL: Isn’t it logical, Sister? A nun with her dress up can run faster than a man with his pants down........


And those of you who thought it would be dirty, Pray for forgiveness.

Car Insurance And Teens - Automobile Insurance

Rather an offbeat topic.. isn't it ? But it's something worth making a note of, particular for those families where "teens" rule !

Your teenager has just become a new driver joining millions of other motorists. You smile at the same time you quickly think about the added pressures of having a new driver in the family

So obviously, teenagers should drive vehicles that reduce their chances of a crash and also drive vehicles that offer state-of-the-art protection in case they do crash.

Teen drivers not only lack experience, for many of them possesses immature behavior, such as speeding and reckless driving, is common. They may drive cautiously when mom or dad is in the car, but when they're on their own or with other teens, bad driving is often the norm.

These recent statistics offered by law enforcement officials give you reason to be concerned, but they are also meant to stress the importance of proper education for teen drivers:

Auto crashes are the leading cause of death for young people between ages 16 and 20. Most motor vehicle accident-related deaths among teenagers occur on weekends. The teenage driving group makes up 7% of licensed drivers, but suffers 14% of all fatalities and 20% of all reported accidents.

These figures are alarming, but car crashes are preventable with solid education and guidance and accordingly, teens are invited to visit GEICO's teen safe driving library of materials at http://www.geico.com/auto/safety.

The topics covered in their videos and brochures can help you in keeping your teens safe while driving, and include the following suggestions:

Also don’t let your teen drive at night or with friends in the car until you are certain that they are a safe and responsible driver. Insist on using a seat belt and observing the speed limit, especially in residential neighborhoods and school zones. Highlight the dangers of driving while intoxicated and also indicate to them that the use of mobile phones, eating and being distracted by the radio can add significant obstacles to an inexperienced driver.

Conveying the message of proper driving to your teens can help keep them safe and could have a positive effect on your auto insurance by helping ensure that our newest drivers understand the importance of safe driving

Teens are once again invited to visit GEICO's teen safe driving library of materials at http://www.geico.com/auto/safety. GEICO provides the materials at no cost to families, driving classes, law enforcement officials and state agencies.

GEICO added "Teens and Trucks" to its online library of safe driving materials for teen drivers. The brochure, developed with the American Moving and Storage Association, includes valuable information for teens on how to safely share the highway with large trucks.

Now did you know that there were some 1.7 million vehicle-related thefts during the 2005/6 financial year? And it gets worse over the Christmas period not least because people leave tempting-looking festive shopping bags lying on their back seat!

Driving for five years or more without making a claim on your car insurance will typically give you a discount of up to 65% on your premiums

Cars with smaller engines attract lower premiums too but you should avoid making any subsequent modifications that will put your car outside the standard set by the manufacturer.

You can also keep insurance costs down by paying the premium in full up front. Insurers can charge as much as 30% extra if you pay your premiums on a monthly basis.

If you don't do much driving, make sure you let the insurer know as most will give you a discount for low mileage. And offering to pay a higher excess in the event of a claim will also keep the premiums down.

Most importantly, shop around. Prices can vary hugely among insurers so it's always worth seeing if you can get a better deal elsewhere when your renewal notice drops on the doormat.

GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company) is the fourth-largest private passenger auto insurer in the United States.

GEICO, a member of the Berkshire Hathaway group of companies, is rated A++ for financial stability by A.M. Best Company. GEICO keeps its rates low by dealing directly with the customer. GEICO provides consumers with outstanding sales, service and claims capabilities on its geico.com Web site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 15 minutes could save you 15% on car insurance.

Monarch Airlines - Travel

Just a pay per post topic and an airline that I had always wanted to know about.. What better way than to blog it !

Monarch Airlines is a charter and scheduled airline based in Luton, England. It is one of the UK's largest charter airlines operating to Europe, the USA, the Caribbean, India and Africa serving mainly leisure destinations.

The airline was established on 1st June 1967, by Mr. Bill Hodgson and Mr. Don Peacock, with finance from the Swiss Mantegazza and Albek families who own it to this day. It started operations on 5 April 1968, using a Bristol 175 Britannia turboprop. In 1971, Monarch entered the jet age with the Boeing 720 jet. By 1976, all the planes on Monarch's fleet were jets. Alan Snudden, CBE was the chairman of Monarch at this point.

Monarch was voted as the Leisure Airline of the Year 2006 at the Travel Trade Gazette Awards.

Monarch Airlines operates scheduled services to the following international destinations: Alicante, Almería, Barcelona, Faro, Gibraltar, Granada, Lanzarote, Lisbon, Las Palmas, Málaga, Menorca, Murcia, Palma de Mallorca and Tenerife, with Jerez, Larnaca and Ibiza to join the network in Summer 2007. Monarch Airlines also operate charter flights to a number of destinations for other tour operators, these include Malé, Orlando Sanford, Goa, Cancun and Cuba. Monarch is the largest airline provider of such services, which effectively lease aircraft out to tour operators for a flight.

Monarch was named as Leisure Airline of the Year in recent Travel Industry Awards. Fares on Monarch flights include complimentary daily newspapers, a refreshing hot towel service and require no additional payment for checking-in baggage; also available is a unique range of tasty hot and cold meals. For more information or to book, visit flymonarch.com.

In the world of Model airplanes, Monarch also has contracts with several airplane model companies, such as Wooster, Flight Miniatures, etc.

2006 was a record-breaking year for award-winning low cost airline Monarch, with the airline carrying over 3.2 million scheduled passengers in the twelve-month period, compared with 2.6 million in 2005 – a 23.9% increase year-on-year. Passenger traffic for December 2006 also continued to soar with the airline carrying 166,697 scheduled passengers, an 11.9% increase compared to December 2005. 2007 will see passenger traffic rise further still with capacity increases on a number of popular routes as well as the airline’s expansion in to the Eastern Mediterranean with the first low-cost scheduled flights from the UK to Cyprus. The percentage of bookings made on the airline’s website, http://www.flymonarch.com/ was also up by 3%.

Since 1967, Monarch Airlines has been dedicated to providing customers with value, quality and choice. In the early days, they had just two aircraft: today, Monarch's fleet features 28 of the world's most modern jetliners - and each year we fly 5 million people to more than 100 destinations.

Monarch Airlines and Monarch Aircraft Engineering are both subsidiaries of Monarch Holdings Plc. Other companies in the group include household-name tour operators such as Cosmos, Avro, Archers Direct and Cosmos Tourama as well as the online hotel booking service somewhere2stay.com.

The Affiliate Classroom

The founder of AffiliateClassroom.com. Anik Singal has developed his own affiliate system that helped him earn well over $10,000 in just 60 days.

This guy talks smooth...and he claims to have hit big in the affiliate scene. You know what, not because I got carried away by his talk or articles, but, you don't have to be a genius to see the logic in his gab.

Now this guy happens to be an Asian. So I thought like the "typical asian mentality" that I might be able to identify with him.

On second thoughts, I decided to market his project. You know why...the guy is just in his bare twenties and he is swinging! Not only that, he has a medical degree behind him (Yes, a medical degree!)

Another Ken Evoy in the making ? Who knows ..

With due respect, I brought up the Asian mentality, mainly to highlight a single fact.

I was trying to get some reciprocal linking to my site with very little success. It was then I ran accross Mr. Singhal's article....."One of the other uncommon methods to get linking from high ranked sites is to bribe the sites webmasters"... Although I laughed it off at the moment, I tried aplying his theory with a few webmasters.

Believe me, the feedback your receive is incredible. As the old adage goes..Money talks..

It was then I realised, only an Asian could have thought about it. Only an Asian could have known the theory - without grease, the wheels won't churn !!

You can get a FREE COPY of Affiliate Classroom Magazine by CLICKING HERE.

This magazine is packed with useful articles about affiliate marketing. It is aimed at the beginner and intermediate level affiliate, although there is still plenty of info for the seasoned affiliate.

This months' issue was interesting, and I am certain you would enjoy it too. Not surprising, he also has an interesting NEWSLETTER.

Affiliate-Classroom also has a great 2 tier residual affiliate program that you can join. Anik-Singhal is now looking for a few students to train one step at a time for just $1. For more information on it, CLICK HERE

As they say, if your mind is empty, it is ready for anything and it is open to everything. Likewise, in the beginner's mind there are many possibilities but in the expert's mind there are few. So don't be afraid to try out anything
