What does Lingerie, Junk Car Removal and Paintball have in common?
(Answer to the question is below)
I tried TextLinkAds (affiliate, non affiliate) in the past, and sure enough you can get your one way link on a page.
However. Look at the links you are next too. I was doing some research last night on link backs. Using SEO Elite (affiliate, non affiliate) for one of my niches. There was a site I found which was paying quite a bit for TextLinkAds (and other places) to link back to them from some high PR sights.
This is a classic example of why this is not always a good idea.

Look at the subjects. We have Lingerie, Credit Cards, Lawyers and Insurance. In some sick twisted way you could say these are related and relevant. But who are we kidding. Even though these links are on a PR 7 (Yes PR 7) they can't be all that effective.
Moral of the story. Getting links is good, but to be REALLY effective you must get relevant links.
Now the solution? My current experiment is using paid blogging. So far so good, but it hasn't been long enough to see any results, but at the very least I have very relevant content linking to my niche and sites.
Oh and the answer to the question:

Hey John, I noticed this a few days ago and am considering pulling a few TextLinkAds for the exqct same reason.
Would be interested in any more info you have regarding the paid blogging you are now using. Any recommended sites?
I am testing out PayPerPost.com
I got a few blogs that posted but did not match the criteria I selected.
I flagged them and tried to contact their online chat customer service with no luck. I gave up contacting someone and will try again in a day or so (they might be overwhelmed).

Well, I think you've answered your own question. Apparently: They're all niches with affiliate marketers willing to pay to advertise on some random site. :P
(Also, according to Google, they primarily now have your blog post in common.)
