You are so right, allow me to speak from experience here, when
I first joined Traffic Taxis last year, I didnt put text links
in rotation. Why? Well, just as you said above, I thought it was
a waste of time. As time went on, I decided to get a little
creative and put a text link in rotation. I ended up with
several new sign-ups in a program I was promoting at the time,
just as many as having URL’s and Banners in rotations. So
bottom line, text links work absolutely!

Keep writing David….great stuff!
