Finally my blog is accepted to Text Link Ads publisher program. As you know, I have only been in with their affiliate program so far. I submitted my blog for approval about one and half month ago. And finally my waiting is over. I think that Text Link Ads is one of the best ways to monetize your blog. They are selling text link spots to my blog and I get payed monthly about those spots. They can sell maximum 8 link spots to my blog. Nice thing is that if they manage to sell links to my page, I get payments monthly even if no one ever click those links, because Text Link Ads is not cost per click basis system.
Also I have now possibility to join in ther Post Level Text Link Ads. In that system advertiser buys a spot at the end of your blog posts where he can put his Post Level Text Link Ad. Pricing of those ads is based purely to your posts Google Page Rank. So Post Level Text Link Ad would cost $8.0 at those posts which have PR4 (my whole blog ranking is PR4). I found this information about pricing from John Chows blog post, Post Level Text Link Ads Pricing Explained. I am not going to copy+paste all those PR pricing levels here, you can see those at Johns blog post.
Now I am just waiting and hoping that Text Link Ads can sell ad spots quickly to my blog. Being accepted to publisher program is a huge step for me and my blog.

congrat on your approval … i guess most of the blogs were awarded PR=4 (mine didn’t change) … however my TLA can’t be used yet (though approved) as according to TLA support, google blogger doesn’t support their code as yet … waiting for their fix … not sure if you heard of this …
cheers
