While bloggers are discussing their PR drop due to text link ads, I’ve just received an “Text LinkAd Sold” email from text link ads. This is the first time my text link has been sold after blogging for 2 months here

Tim, We are excited to notify you we have sold a text link ad on your post at http://ahtim.com/2007/09/27/free-international-phone-calls/!

To monitor your earnings login here: http://www.text-link-ads.com/my_account.php?view=site_stats

As you could see above, I’ve receive a notification email from text link ad about my text link has been sold in one of my previous post. After check on my post Free International Phone Calls ! , I found that the word “VOIP” inside the post has been text link to the advertiser. How much it worth? I login my Text Link Ad account, check on my account status, and you know it worth $1.50 for a word link.

Now, I am not sure whether to continue the text link ad or not? I worry my PR will drop after this, and on the other hand, the text link ad is quite worth it! What do you think ?
