TNX.net – text link ad marketplace

February 15th, 2008

TNX.net is a new network that combines contextual advertising, text link brokers and relevant exchange of permanent non-reciprocal text links.

As a publisher you can monetize your blog/site by selling text link ads or by referring other people to TNX. As an advertiser you can improve your search engine rankings by placing millions of non-reciprocal links to their sites, as well as to drive more traffic to your blog/website.

TNX.net for Publishers

In order to be accepted in TNX.net program your blog have to pass out some requirements, for example:

• It is preferable to have pages on the site with PR at least 1
• You must have your own domain
• Your site must be indexed by Google
• Your site must have at least 30 pages (with regular ranking)
• Your site must be in PHP

Once your blog is accepted, you’ll have to insert a code in your site, in the place where you want the links to be displayed (usually in the sidebar).

Publishers can choose their advertisers by themselves, placing only links which are relevant for them. This feature is explained in detail how it works on this thread in Digital Point forums

If you want to know how much you will earn by selling links on your website, you have an income calculator which calculates your profit (in TNX points as well as in $) according to your number of pages and PR.

You’ll get paid in TNX points for the links you allow to be placed on your website. You can trade those points with other TNX.net members, or you can claim their value in USD from TNX itself, at a rate which is public, and updated regularly. As of today, the exchange rate is $0.74 for 1000 TNX points. The minimum amount of points you can redeem is 5000. Payments are done via PayPal or MoneyBookers.

TNX.net for Affiliate Marketers

Once you become a member of TNX, you could also benefit from the affiliate program which allows you to earn points by referring people to TNX. You will receive 13.3% of all “TNX-points”, he/she will earn in the future (a reward for referring an advertiser is also available). This amounts to almost half of the system’s commission! Interest is paid for the lifetime.

TNX.net has a special offer which will help you get started by giving you 5000 TNX points which can buy you up to 5000 links on websites of your choice.

TNX.net for Advertisers

Google says: “In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their pages.”

On TNX.net, you can choose the sites where your links will be displayed. There are 4 filters available: by category, by geo-targeting, by number of inbound links (in Yahoo), and by Google PR.

For example, if your website is about business, you can choose to buy links only in the Business, Finance, Industrial category, which has 1112 websites as of today. In this way, the links you’ll place will be more relevant, because they will be shown in a related context. If you want a lot of links for little spending, you can further choose only those websites which have PR 0 or 1. The TNX.net system is very flexible, and it allows you to customize your campaigns according to your needs and budget.

Moreover, TNX has a useful tool, called Link Generator, which generates different links with different anchors, in order to make them look more natural.
