WP Text Ads Launches Marketplace

I think this deserves a try...

Guys,

It's really encouraging to know you think WP Text Ads is useful. Do not hesitate to drop me an email if you have new ideas on how to improve it.

I hope more of you will give it a try. Right now, not many people seem to be joining the Marketplace.

I am interested in keeping an eye on this. It appears to be heading in the right direction...

another ads option is definitely good

It just need a promotion and good network building. If many out there used the services, the advertiser will come eventually.

Sound like interesting, something new and I have never heard about WP Text Ads before. Thanks for the good option. :cool:

I didn't even know WPTA, but now I will certainly hve a look at it!

Hey everyone,

Thanks for your encouraging comments, and for giving WP Text Ads a chance.

Just so you all know, I don't have a $100k budget. Will you believe me if I tell you my total capital invested up to know is about $200?

I don't have any staff to work with me on WP Text Ads either.

And since I live in Singapore, I certainly don't have the exposure that TLA and the other guys have because they can do demos and join conventions.

But what I do have is a belief that WPTA serves a useful purpose, and a desire to work at it until users feel it does that.

WPTA is still a baby. So is the Marketplace. I'm very thankful that there are people who take the time to join the Marketplace even though it is very immature now.

But we'll get there.

So thanks for all your support. And if you have questions or feedback, just drop me an email at alexchoowk at wptextads.com

Sincerely
Alex

Well, I just got accepted for TLA. I might try WPTA but they'll need to grow a bit first. It's nice to have another option though.

This is good- another option for bloggers...

Hi John,

What is that scraped feed thing in my RSS Feed.

Thanks for the update on this. I occasionally get a sale through Text Link Ads, and it's nice, but as a small blog I think I get lost in the mix.

The other downside for me, is that I think there are a lot of potential advertisers for my market who don't have a clue about PageRank or backlinks or even to go to Text Link Ads.

Many sad guys here with no money, be happy and I will give you a free membership inn the new community pownce from the man behind Digg. You have to go to my blog to get it http://euroanddollar.blogspot.com/. If John need one he is the first one.

I havent had the greatest luck with TLA. There are so many sites on there now its hard to find buyers

Good concept, if it gets popular it could be a money maker. Though not something that is immediately useful I guess.

:mrgreen: It'll be useful in a few months, i'm sure!

I don't get it, this is like putting a paypal account with the text "advertise here". The good thing about TLA is that they have all the advertisers in the same place, you don't have to go and search them.

The only way this will be useful is for big sites with lots of visits

Thanks for the heads up. Let us know if it grows John.

This could be extremely successful if it grows! And I bet it will.

Great News....Hope can earn some money from here

Thats sweet I'm sure this new service will do well.

Hi John,

Just wanted to comment that yes, the marketplace at WPTA is small, but everyone, even TLA had to start somewhere. Do you think that TLA started off with thousands of users? I don't think so. WPTA is only a few months old, but I truly believe that this is a high quality plug-in for wordpress blogs and the marketplace will continue to grow as more blggers hear about it. Why would anyone want to pay a middle-man like TLA if they don't have to? WPTA gives you complete control over your links (including CSS) and it is very easy to install and use with wordpress. Give WPTA some time to grow and I think your opinion may change. I have also just learned that an affiliate program may be in the works for WPTA as well, which would surely boost the number of users. If anyone would like to see how WPTA looks and works on a wordpress blog, please feel free to check it out on my comparison shopping blog and let me know what you think.

If the marketplace gets built up, could be a great site.

Is it against Text Link Ad policy to run another type of text ad on your site?

I've always been quite fond of dealing independently with advertisers...as long as they're willing to pay months in advance :)

well ... give them a chance to grow ... it will work in the long run!

Great Idea!
