I was more interested in the quality of CTR from websites - do users really click on “featured” sites? I found that more people click on sites that are freely mentioned and not “featured” but it is still beneficial to get some traffic

ANYONE could report you to Google in seconds. The problem with Text Link Ads is they make no effort to provide any security for their links. That's the major reason I created Text Link Center. If you are not sure what I'm talking about, you may want to check out my paid link detector at Text Link Center. We've been able to find any link purchased with Text Link Ads. The only reason that people still use Text Link Ads is because they don't know just how much Google knows. With the launch of Text Link Center, we hope to change that.

I got more traffic from popular blogs such as 45n5, problogger, johnchow - and most were either comments or archive history of them when they have mentioned my blog on theirs. I will try that tool - anything in marketing we would have to take with a grain of salt, just have to learn on experience thanks! > sha
