Has anyone used their service to insert automated paid text links in a wordpress blog? Where do you insert the

PHP Code:

<?php tla_ads() ?>

???

[JuggoPop]

I never used it... but I would think... you put it where you want the ad. Like an includes file.

[Kalina]

You put that in your theme files, either main index file or the sidebar file, header or footer file. It will work in any of the theme files.

cool thanks that's what I needed

edit, I'm having issues with the xml file, but I'll work on it more tonight and see where it leaves me.

Your using cpanel right? I think that's what you had when I hep'd ya with the 12th man? Anyways if your using cpanel and you click on the .xml file to CHMOD it to 666 go back and check it... mine wasn't changing... so I went in with my FTP proggy and CHMOD'd it - once you get it right you will see a TEST LINK AD appear... and you'll get an automated email...

On unix you would CHMOD 666 on windows you will need to access your custom control panel to set the permissions or contact your hosting company.
2. Download the plugin file below. This is a WordPress plugin so you will want to put the file in your /wp-content/plugin/ directory and enable it from the plugin menu.
3. Once you have enabled the plugin you will need to insert
<?php tla_ads() ?> where you want the text ads displayed.

Please note: If you chose to place the ads "site wide" that you need to place the ad code in your template where it will appear on all pages of your website.

When the code has been successfully installed, you will automatically receive an email from Text Link Ads and we will start selling ad space on your site!

Shoot me a pm if your still having problems with it

One of my sites has been approved as a publisher for text links, about a month ago, and I still have no purchasers for links. Granted the site in question is a very specific niche, still sad.

[Kalina]

I'm sad now too.

Colleen, I like the new Av- uh, actualy I like your newer one too Neo... LOL, isn't that on your myspace now?

I was super busy this weekend and didn't get a chance to go over it. I'll try to sit down with it again today and give that a shot, thanks for the suggestions.

I think they either did, and I didn't fully understand it, or they didn't give me enough info. I know it said which files I could put it in, but I need to get the xml finished first.

Well, I just purchased some links, felt like a shame to let that $100 code go to waste. I'm pretty sure those are reoccuring, so I just need to remind myself to cxl at the end of the month.

My main goal was traffic more than PR, so we'll see how it works out.

[Dustin07]

I wasn't able to redeem the code and when I emailed customer support I never got a response.

Are you sure you purchased $125 worth? The code is not redeemable on $100 only.

[Dustin07]

That would make sense then I couldn't find the min...
