What category of monetization does Text-Link-Ads and other likewise programs fall under. I don't believe they are CPC, CPA, or CPM. How would you classify such a program if you were explaining to newbs. Is Text-Link-Ads their own category?

CPC is what it is.

CPC? That's cost per click right? TLA is er... cost per week?

**woodside** · 10-13-2006, 05:55 PM

Ya, definitely not cost per click. Cost per Month or Cost per Link.

just call it contextual advertising

um... I definitely wouldn't call it contextual advertising. To me, that term implies ads that are directly targeted towards a site's existing content via some type of algorithm (like AdSense, YPN, and Chitika). There should be some type of classification for a 'cost per time basis' like Text-Link-Ads, BlogAds and the like.

Everybody seems like they are caught up in acronymns. Really this is just plain paid advertising. I know it's hard to remember that, it's been so long since we've thought about it!
