Too bad to hear that matched.co.uk is closed. Most of all publisher have earn some money in the monthly basis and from next month they will stop to pay.

Here is more info from their official site :

20th November 2008

It is with much regret that we announce that Matched.co.uk has closed.

Matched has been running as a beta experiment for some time and, after much careful consideration, it has been decided not to progress the project to the next stage.

As a result, Matched will not be accepting new sign-ups and will no longer be assigning adverts to its current publisher base.

All publishers who completed their latest payment run before November 19th 2008 will still be paid, but please note that no further payments will be made after this. Therefore, we recommend that all publishers remove any Matched ads from their websites.

Thank you very much for being part of the Matched.co.uk experience and we wish you the best of luck for the future success of your websites.

Kind regards,
Matched.co.uk

Payment from TLA has received on 1st November 2008. This is my 1st income from TLA after almost 1 year waiting for my website approval and I hope this is only the beginning and will continue for long term business. There are only 3 links sold on my blog, so the income for this month is little.

At the beginning of this month November 2008, there are 5 links sold already and I hope it will continue to sell until the maximum of 10 links for sell. If this is really happen then TLA will be my one of the main income from the making money online for monthly basis.

The most exciting for me when receiving email containing "Mike, We are excited to notify you we have sold a Text Link Ads off xxx.com". In my mind, the email notify about the money will send into my Paypal account. I am really appreciated to TLA for all their support and attention into my blog and thank you for this great opportunity. I will improve my blog to earn more money.

After nearly 1 year after my application in the Text Link Ads, finally yesterday 8 October 2008 one of my blog has approved. At the time the registration, about 10 of my websites and blogs immediately rejected after submission. Because of all the websites that I have already rejected, then I forget about Text Link Ads and trying to find other sources of business.

It's still luck came to me. Yesterday I received an email from Text Link Ads that one of my website is approved. I am delighted with the login and take the code to be installed on the website.

Today I receive an email containing that my website has listed in their data base, which means that the website can be viewed by the advertiser therefore if they interest can buy a link on my website.

Everything continues approached, less than 1 hour after my website is listed in the data base, there is one advertiser who buy a link. A good step from working hard for this and new energy is coming.

From the many websites and blogs that I registered but only one approved, I realise that I know a criteria of website can be accepted by Text Link Ads. And I wish sharing the terms of acceptable criteria that I know:

• Website or blog should have a good design and user friendly.
• Has a minimum of Google PR3 (Page Rank).
• Alexa Rank below 1 million and the smaller will better.
• The website content focus on one topic/niche. For example, when the topic of the website is horse then contains all the content on horses.
