		<description>my issue with TLA is that, i was able to download the wp plugin, uploaded in my blog directory. it shows in the wp dashboard but of course i needed to activate it. everytime i click the activate link, i get an error 500 message. I sent an email to tech support, asking why the plugin could not be activated via wp dashboard - in a few minutes, Mr. Brock Boser replied by asking, &quot;Can you try deleting that plugin and reinstalling it again?&quot;. So I emailed back, &quot;I actually tried installing and uninstalling many times, from my PC in the office and at home. The same problem I am getting.&quot;. After that I never heard from him until now.

Weird!</description>

		<description>@David, Sorry to hear that.  Maybe they don&#039;t plan on being around too long, they could be feeling the heat from Google.  When I first wrote this article TLA&#039;s owner seemed genuinely concerned, but it doesn&#039;t sound like anything has really changed.</description>

		<description>Similar probs here, installed the widget, added the widget to my sidebar which shows on all pages of the site (should only show for home) but so far no ad links showing.

there was meant to be a test link shown when forst added, I never saw it.

When I installed it all like you I guessed which settings to use as there are no instructions. I have tried all the code they supply with no joy.

I did kind of get the blog inlinks program working. I added three test sites to their inventory, (I own over 50 sites) one had about 30% of posts indexed (largish site), but the other two had after almost 2 months just a few pages indexed! The site that was indexed was the least important as well, typical! Sent multiple emails trying to get them to fully index my sites, but no joy!

This meant like you I wasn&#039;t going to get many advertisors and when you do the inlinks options you can&#039;t have links from your most valuable real esate, the home page. As a side note the price per link was a lot lower than I expected as well (not that they give that info before you agree to an ad which is a really bad way of doing this sort of thing).

So removed those sites from the program with a plan to add pages one at a time (which with over 100,000 pages indexed i Google will be fun) to their public ad section (I added the 3 sites to their private inlinks blog posts thing which I only got one ad from for $6).

Submitted a home page of a site, installed the code (tried every possible way to install it) but all I have is the name of the widget (like Related Links) on the sidebar with no links though. This sidebar section is sitewide despite the ads being home page only, so even if I got the widget working I can&#039;t use it. And how the heck would I add another page from this site!

Tried to use the php code, (uploaded the *.xml file made it writable) but it&#039;s a WordPress blog and PHP isn&#039;t directly compatible with WordPress coding, so that wouldn&#039;t work without me wrigin new WordPRess fuctions. I&#039;m OK with Php coding, but not brilliant.

Sold my first ad for $150 today and had to add it manually to the page.

They need to make some serious improovements and you&#039;d think knowing I have so many pages (I&#039;ve told them, can add tens of thousands of pages to their inventory) would motivate them, nope, get a similar apathetic approach you got.

When they first approaved this site they listed the page for $45 a link which for a PR6 home page is a joke. Got them to change it to $150, but had already took a ad order before they changed it. Never approved this $45 ad, but was shown as I&#039;d accepted it in the payment history!! Got them to cancel it, yet earlier today got an email saying that link is missing so suspending my listing until it&#039;s showing, so won&#039;t take new ad orders now because they screwed up.

Really irritating how poorly organised this is.</description>

		<description>Geez no wonder I can&#039;t get TLA to work on my sites. I guess it&#039;s not just me.  Thanks for putting this together.  I guess I&#039;ll just disable my TLA widget since it&#039;s just blank.

Funny thing is that I got a response saying they are receiving the code, but nothing appears in the widget.</description>
