Patrick,

as I have found an e-mail address on your website, maybe this will work. I just want to inform you about Nigerian comment spammers posting to your blog. I found several on your “Text Ads Link Calculator” post.

Patrick,

Can you expand a bit more on how TLA is active in matching advertisers with site accepting advertisers? Do you email info. to advertisers about new sites or is it up to them to discover?

Since Alexa is so easily manipulated, what is the basis of using their ranking and traffic information.

Thanks tons and all the best!

Patrick,

Just found the site and think it’s great! Too bad about the spam, but such is life at the moment. Keep up the good work.

Hey Patrick,

I was wondering how to go about setting up a talk/meeting with you. I think our company and yours would be a great team. If you have some free time please email me at ray@wildlinecorp.com or give us a call at 415.543.9411

Talk to you soon

Patrick,

Not sure if you’ll get this, but i have a quick question about using TLA with Blogger and Typepad.

I use Blogger and just sold my 6th ad on TLA, but Blogger’s feed widget limits items listed to 5. Is there any way to set the max to 10 so all TLA ads are shown?

I found a way to get it to work, I think. I ran the TLA xml feed through Feedburner’s BuzzBoost and then pasted that Javascript code into Blogger. It works, just with a feedburner logo and an extra link to TLA.

I noticed that TLA does not yet work with Typepad, but I was thinking, why couldn’t we do the same thing to get the TLA script on Typepad blogs? I tried it and it seems to work. Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks!

Chad
