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.
