The History of Text Link Ads
Every wonder how Text Link Ads got started? While many people know that TLA was founded by Patrick Gavin, most don’t know how he came up with the idea for the company. Well, Patrick has started his own blog and his first post explains the history of Text Link Ads. It’s a pretty cool story.
Las Vegas Car Wash
After the Affiliate Summit, we went through a very interesting car wash on our way back to the hotel.

Nice video! You should have waited a few seconds under the water to get all the dirt off.
Reply to this commentMs. Danielle must be popular. I think she was the most talked about in post comments around here and now she gets the top link. Coincidence?
Reply to this commentcoincidence I think not!
Reply to this commentShe has an extremely pleasing…personality and looks! Never did get that photo op with her and Mr. Gary. They were too busy playing cards…in their room.
Reply to this commentLooks always wins at the end! No question about it
Reply to this commentIn the short run the look wins indeed, but you’ll have to know how to keep it rolling.
Reply to this commentWell, many times the looks can get people to commit, or get the person “in the door”. Once you are in, it doesn’t take nearly as much to maintain it.
Reply to this commentI hear John is secretly dating her on the side. Shh!
Reply to this commentI’m sure her wife appreciates these types of rumors
Reply to this commenthey, not just a free carwash, a free shower too.
Reply to this commentThanks for the link love John.
Reply to this commentHistory of Text link ads was a good read

Reply to this commentPrice going up on ReviewMe hey? I plan on ordering one in a week or so.
Reply to this commentThe reviewme price of Johnchow is actually really good
If I had a product to pitch I will definitely order one.
Reply to this commentThanks for sharing the history of TLA. I never knew that to be honest.
Reply to this commentThese things are popular in Turkey.. not that large though.
Reply to this commentSome of them look like oversized showers.
good ot know about the history of TLA
Reply to this commentYup it’s always great to hear these stories so you can learn from it!
Reply to this commentNice video, good thing you weren’t driving an open top car!
Reply to this commentIt’d be dumb to drive through any car wash with a car like that!
Reply to this commentRead Gavin’s post, pretty interesting!
Reply to this commentLooks like I’ll be spending a good part of the day just reading about Affiliate Summit. Thanks for all the links. I read part of Zac’s rebuttal to Calacanis. That guy is such an idiot! (and a rich one at that)
Reply to this commentI agree - looks like a lot to read about the summit. Certainly looks like a great informative event to attend.
Reply to this commentThe history of TLA was interesting but that “car wash” video was great.
Reply to this commentCool video. Just wondering what video camera you used ?
Reply to this commentWhen you see the words “Ms.Danielle’s pictures” together I can only assume she has had the most visitors from this post.
It’s great everyone was able to rub elbows together, maybe make some new friends, learn some new ideas, have a great time and share the experience with all their blog visitors.
I’d still watch out for Andrew on a Segway though.
It was nice of you not to speed through the flooded streets and splash people like some evil drivers would do.

Reply to this commentHey hey… I am from Las Vegas…. gotta love it. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas… except in the Internet age when you can take a video on YouTube, and bring it back and upload it, and share it with everyone.
Reply to this comment“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”
Reply to this commentThat’s my favourite quote man!
ASW looked like ya’ll had a fun and drunk time. LOL
Reply to this commentThat looked better than the Bellagio!
Reply to this commentthanks for mentioning my post. andrew wee’s segway video was pretty good footage too. soundtrack and all
Reply to this commentDanielle you are my favourite blogger…
Reply to this commentJohn’s just sharing the love Ms. Danielle
I’m sure you share the love right back to John’s site with some links etc.
The internet is like a big community and everyone should treat eachother like neighbors. Except, I can’t really borrow a cup of sugar when I need it
That reminds me, I have to return the lawn mower to my neighbor I borrowed last summer.

Just read Joel Comm’s response to Jason’s talk. Seems like Jason ticked off a lot of people with this one.
Reply to this commentHahaha that was funny… At least it was a free car wash!
Reply to this commentI definately plan on being there next year!
Reply to this commentGary Lee had a pretty good recap of ASW and I’m guessing John is the flat top guy in the foreground rockin’ with Blue Man.
Reply to this commentNo, John is one of the Blue Men.
Reply to this commentNice water show, man.
