TNX Review

January 15, 2008

With paid links being hit hard by Google in the past few months, link trading is at an all time low due to fears of Google penalizing websites participating in buying and selling paid links. Amidst the chaos, one company seems to have come up with a way of flying under the G-radar by offering its users a secure and confidential way for buying and selling links.

TNX.Net has caused quite the stir in the paid links industry by intriguing webmasters on the Digital Point forums by offering free money for trading links. As a service, any website owner with a minimum number of Page Rank (PR) 0 + can register as a publisher. Once registering you include the TNX code (which is changed from time to time to ensure confidentiality) into your site’s template and let the system crawl your pages and then you are ready to sell text links on your site.

The main advantage of the system for webmasters is that they are able to sell links on every page of their websites, instead of just the main page. This is potentially more profitable for webmasters, especially if the websites they own contain hundreds and hundreds of indexed pages. Webmaster can even choose their advertisers themselves, placing only links that are relevant to every page of their sites. Instead of operating in purely monetary units, TNX chooses to go with a points system to allow publishers and advertisers to trade links.

One can utilize these points to solely buy high Page Rank links or choose to diversify their investment buy buying many PR0 and PR1 links and a few quality PR 4+ links. TNX offers targeting by website’s subject (or category), there is also a targeting using the site’s region and Google PR of each page. TNX makes it possible to combine different types of targeting and compare the efficiency with different setups.

If you are an advertiser, you can buy 20,000 points with 20$ (1,000points = 1$)
With these 20,000 points you can buy static links for a month on (subject to availability)

- 20 000 different PR0 pages from different websites (1point/link)
- 400 different PR1 pages from different websites (50points/link)
- 200 different PR2 pages from different websites (100 points/link)
- 100 different PR3 pages from different websites (200points/link)
- 40 different PR4 pages from different websites (500points/link)
- 20 different PR5 pages from different websites (1,000points/link)

TNX has also been very keen to emulate completely natural growth of links, and offers a link anchor generator to prevent any search engine filters picking up unusual website activity. You can read more about the tool and its application at this Digital Point thread. As you can see, the system has grown fairly fast, and from what I hear in the webmaster community it is a feasible work around to the paid link penalties imposed by Google.

I’d certainly advice trying out TNX.net through the Digital Point offer for free links. TNX only charges 12.5% in link trading commissions and is quite affordable compared to other services that charge 50% or more. You can also participate in their affiliate program and earn some moolah by simply promoting the service to other webmasters you may know.
