In our meet-up last Saturday, Markku and I discussed about how to be noticed and get ads from TLA.
First, when advertisers will look for an appropriate site on TLA to put ads, they’ll do a search or browse on the categories. Due to the huge volume of TLA affiliates, you’re listing might not be easy to spot.
Once in a while, you might notice some referrals from the TLA website. This is good since it means potential advertisers are checking your site. But before they could check your site/blog, it needs to show up in their search. This is where you need to optimize your listing.
Login to your TLA account and go to the Publisher Program panel, click on the “Edit your listings” link and select which site/blog you want to optimize.
There’s a new section there that’s been recently added by TLA — Keywords listing. Add as many relevant keywords on that form that might describe your blog. One best way to go about this is use your blog categories as your cheat sheet.
TLA has it’s own listing categories so you could copy them as well.
Getting noticed (or showing up in the search listing) is just the first step. The harder part is getting the ads.
We’ll discuss mroe about that later.

Marco – Spread you weight, sign up to a few different networks and trial them out, my sites all use a mixture of ad networks, that way, if one starts paying low, i can switch to the others with ease.
What about neither? I prefer BlogAds or BizRate.
Have you done a post on which network is the “best” for TLA? I wonder if it is text-link-ads.com or adbrite (or other)? Which do you think?
