Associated Content pulls Text Link Ads
Tim Armstrong, VP of Advertising for Google, is apparently a co-founder of Associated Content, a huge content network that has historically dabbled in link renting (clarification: renting links to other companies on their network of sites).

Well, I noticed today that Associated Content is no longer renting links selling links through Text Link Ads - coincidence? I doubt it.

According to information from Preston Wily, Associated Content were selling links on their site through Text-Link-Ads.com (disclosure: TLA is an ex-advertiser for this blog). But maybe someone at Associated Content read Matt’s post, too, because I’m told by a source that the following email alert was sent out from Text-Link-Ads.com on April 19th: […]
