A while back I signed up to a service for my blog called, Text Link Ads. It’s basically a service that tries to sell text adverts on your blog posts on your behalf. After signing up and getting approved you get a plugin (wordpress in my case) to upload to your blog, they then spider all your pages and see if they can match them up to advertisers.
I had the service running for a while and almost forgot about it, but just recently in the last few months they’ve started to sell a lot more ads for me. Now they do take a huge 50% commission on any advert they sell, but I think for now at least they are earning me more than if I was to try and hunt advertisers myself.
The amount they charge advertisers per link depends on the popularity of your blog, so if you make your blog bigger and better you can earn more off it. Right now it’s a nice little extra income for me, so I am happy to keep going with it and if your interested why not check it out yourself.

This is quite helpful, though some of my friends thinks that it’ll take away your pagerank.

It sounds like a good ideal to make extra cash but if your blog is fill with a bunch of ads wont that take away from your blog? I know If I have navigate through a bunch of ads just to get to the post, I lose interest in going back to the blog. Just a thought.
