I recently joined BL and TLA but until now I have not used their services yet. First I want to know if you still earn money from them. I am doubtful because it seems like the blogosphere is getting more and more quiet when it comes to selling links.

If you were one of those people who use TLA or the likes, you may be able to help me regarding the following questions:

1. Are you still using TLA and other similar programs?

2. If not, why did you stop? Is it because of following Google’s rules or because you are not earning enough from them?

3. Do you know of other alternatives?

4. Are there other great ways to advertise on blogs?

Your answers are appreciated. Thanks.
