TNX.Net Review
- 9 Comment
TNX.Net is the next wave of ways to promote your website or blog through links. This can be beneficial for both publishers and advertisers. TNX tries to close the gap between advertisers and publishers offering fair rates to both.
For Publishers
What I like about TNX for publishers is that whether your page has a pagerank or not you can still display links on it for money. The price is lower because it is calculated based on pagerank, however you can ultimately sell a link on each page of your site.
TNX also splits the revenue 12.5 / 87.5 instead of 50/50 like other services. You receive payouts every month via paypal or check.
The service isn’t that smooth however, instead of the links automatically appearing with just one code, you have to manually add it. That slows the whole process down.
For Advertisers
Your links are placed on relevant pages of websites, however I did find the process to be a little complicated. I also don’t think you can pick which websites or pages you can display your links on.
The links are reasonably priced for advertisers, TNX writes that
“For as low as 11$ a month you may get up to 10,000 static links to your website.”
I’ve ordered several links for sites, however some of the websites still aren’t displaying these links, but I am apparently being charged for them. There doesn’t appear to be an easy way to let the TNX team know this and it seems like a huge hassle in my opinion. I really don’t have the time to manually monitor this.
Affiliate Program and Free Points
TNX has an affiliate program where you get points based on what your affiliate referrals do:
“When you refer webmasters to TNX.net, you get 13.3% (as long as your account is active) of all TNX-points that are generated by their websites. In addition, you will receive 5% of all payments, made by referred advertiser (this option will work after paypal payments will be automated).”
You can also get free TNX points to buy links at the Digital Point Forum. This way you don’t have to take my word for it, but you can test the system out yourself.

Gonna try this one again, huh?
I was going to sign up last night but then I saw you had pulled the article and thought you might have chabged your mind about endorsing them so I held off.
I may reconsider now 😉

Even though adding code manually doesn’t scare me in the least, I found the process a little tedious. In order to get any help at all, (especially with blog approval, when the system doesn’t work), you have to go to the forums and you receive no personal response. I just checked back one day to see my site was gone,(as I requested because the code wouldn’t work even though I went through every step), and I had to go through the entire process again. I think they really need to work through bugs on the code-end, I’ve only seen a handful of blogs actually displaying links from TNX. I took the code off- it slowed down my site and I figured I’d never have advertisers buy any from my site.

i agree, they are far from perfect and need a lot of work.
They also need their support to be a lot better, going through a forum is a little ridiculous

The worst part- it took over 3 days for my site to be deleted so I could re-do everything. I viewed posts in the forum where people kept saying, “is anyone reading these?” I mean-TNX is supposed to be this huge endeavor, but without the customers, it won’t work.

Yes, promoting their affiliate program is quite a profitable idea as well. Concerning the link building, as long as one uses this program to get limited number of links is good. Otherwise he risks a google penalty or something like that.

[…] too long ago I wrote a TNX Review. What would draw in any advertiser is the low cost of links. PR 3 links run as low as 200 points […]
