Well, it appears to be site-wide - "# of pages your ad will appear on - 3,000+" (paraphrased;)). $20/month = bargain.

most are NOT sitewide links. And most of the sites are complete trash sites. You really gotta look for a good site worth putting your text link ad on.
I didn't say most were.
sorry Mark my comment wasnt directed at you, it was a general statement to the post before yours :) Sorry if it came off like i was all over you.
You will find that there is alot of trash sites in most networks that involve earning money.
Like you see them sites in Adsense that just have adsense ads on them and then also have something like searchfeed ads just so that it looks as if they have content. You also have this in Adbrite where there are a few good sites, but then there are also the sites that are trying to make a quick buck and just have adbrite ad links all over their sites.

To me its a turn off to see that any site is accepted and that you have to spend quite a bit of time to find good sites to buy a link on. With that said I did find 1 site, am using the service and will of course report back with results/feedback :)
Apparently they do not accept all sites as far as I know. I think these are only the sites that have 0 pr though as most people would probably only purchase of this site mainly to gain on their PR.
I registered, and was instantly actived. No verification.
Apparently they have some sort of software in place so that it can check if any site that gets registered is that actually displays the ads is right for their network.
This most probably means that they check if the site has some PR and a few other things.
that may be true but that in MY opinion is a bull**** method of "qualification". My personal opinion is they are looking for sites and are just taking anyone, and perhaps at some point might start screening. I base this on having looked through who they have in their system.
But again all my opinion. :)
To do followup i was COMPLETELY wrong on the auto-approval of sites. I just got an email telling me my site was approved. So although it seemed like I was approved, I was in fact not.
As for how its going I have not had any increase in traffic, but have another 40,000 pages in google. Hard to say though if that was related to my backlink purchase or the recent google update. I have decided to give it another 30 days to see how it continues. Cant really endorse it yet, but certainly cant say anything bad.
Just to do further followup I have found TextLinkAds to be reasonable to deal with and the setup they have is very slick. I sold 2 text link ads, but I ended up cancelling today because for 2 text link ads I made less then 10 dollars and frankly its not enough to keep me interested.
I have renewed the text link I bought from them again for a 3rd month and after this month I will decide what to do, ie, keep paying $50 or move on to a different method. Overall positive experience.
I believe the amount they pay you is based on how many days are left in the month...?
The rate I quoted was for 2 links for 30 days. I actually double checked cause I also thought it was pro-rated. It is not. so although they are a good company to deal with, my link is worth more to me then $4
Mark totally off topic i dig your new blog buddy.
