Patrick and the rest of the folks at TLA have built a reputable online link advertising system which site publishers and advertisers can trust.

And besides rankings, one of the most beneficial features of TLA is that the high traffic authority sites which are part of their network can generate targeted long tail user to the advertiser, which doubles the pleasure and the fun of a link advertising campaign. -- Loren Baker, Publisher, Search Engine Journal.
