Publishers’ side

Joining TNX (read:”thanks”).net’s network enables you to sell advertising easily without having to promote the adspaces yourself. They have a large number of webmasters concerned in getting more exposure for their site/blog. You can earn by selling a little space on every single page on your site/blog, and with the increasing of your each page’s PageRank or Yahoo! backlinks, you’ll have more to earn. It’s a fact that if a site has numerous internal pages that rank well, it can earn ten times more. Here is what they say:

• TNX.net combines the benefits of Contextual Advertising, Text Link Brokers and Relevant Exchange of permanent non-reciprocal text links.
• You’ll be able to sell links on every page of your website, instead of just the main page.
• Automatically sell links to thousands of advertisers.
• Receive payouts every month in advance, via PayPal, Check, Wire, or any other applicable payment method.
• Our system is Secure and Confidential: No public list of users. All sales are automated.

After signing up, you should have your site added to your account for the spiders to crawl and index your pages. The more pages indexed, increases the amount of money you can earn. If you want to get a bit of a picture how much you’ll earn from your site, you can use their “Income Calculator” on the left sidebar. Enter your URL, estimated amount of pages having a PageRank 0-7, choose your site’s category and how many links you’re planning to sell. Then a number in $ and points will appear. They indicate your estimated income in a month. If you see the chance, you’ll know why I recommend you at least to consider joining.

About the points I mentioned earlier, they are the currency in which you are being paid in TNX. So how do you get some $$$? Trade them with TNX. The exchange rate is currently $0.74 per 1,000 points. You can also sell them to another member with your own price or use them to buy links to your site. In case you think that 1,000 points is a long way to get, you can check on the “Income Calculator” mentioned above to see how fast you can earn 1,000 points. I tried entering a fake number of 125 PageRanked 0 site and it results 1,116 points a month. You can start joining if your site is new, as long as it has more than 30 pages, listed on “major catalogue” like DMOZ and supports PHP, PERL or ASP and ASPX. Easy!

However, I want to remind you not to expect easy money from selling links like this. 1,116 points you saw earlier will worth $0.56 only (TNX deducts 12.5% commission from the payout). If you want to have a serious amount of cash from your site/blog, then you’re gonna have to work out on your blog/site first instead of focusing on blindly adding link ads to your site. The longer you blog and the better you maintain it, it will rise its own PageRank and content pages and so does with the profit you have from the links sold.

When you’ve got your site approved, you can screen the links about to appear to your site and declining ones you don’t feel like having them show up on your site. As for the minimum payout, it’s as low as $5 and a 150,000 points of daily transfer limit. Additionally, users can only transfer up to 50% of their existing balance at a time for security measures.

2,000 points are given away for free just for registering with TNX, and another 5,000 points for each site that you add to the network.

Advertisers’ side

For advertisers, TNX makes promoting and getting non-reciprocal (one way) links a piece of cake. As stated above, they have indexed 32 million+ pages at the time this post is written. You can push promotions to your main page as well as boosting PageRank from within your internal pages.

• Improve your site ranking in search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, Live.com and more.
• Automatically place millions of non-reciprocal links to your site.
• Your links will be placed on relevant pages (You’ll be able to choose it’s quantity and quality).
• Receive well-targeted traffic from relevant sites.
• Prices of links are the lowest on the market. For as low as $11 a month you may get up to 10,000 static links to your website.
• Convenient interface, which will help you promote thousands of your keywords and pages without a hassle.
• SEO specialists and consultants get discounts up to 50%.

Not only providing the sites to place your links on, TNX also come up with a “Link Generator” to help you generate combinations of keywords you don’t need to manually organize them. You can experiment with long-tail keywords and have them mixed resulting a powerful boost to your keyword based optimization.
While setting up the campaign, you can choose in which category you prefer your links to appear. The selection is simplified by choosing website categories, geo-location, number of Yahoo Backlinks (YB) and Google Page Rank. Instead of presenting the list of all available sites, TNX simplifies it by bordering the choices based on the above boundaries. To give you a peek on your campaign’s result, TNX also provides another calculator displaying the estimated number of one-way links you can get with chosen parameters. Done that, you will be ask to enter the link text as well as the keyword/anchor text of your choice and how many you’d like to have your campaign appear on the publishers’ site. It took only 30 minute to figure how things goin when I first came to setting my own campaign. It turned out to be easy and painless.

Affiliate program

Another source of income is when you bring a new member (either publishers or advertisers) to join. You will get 13.3% of all “TNX-points“ they earn. Commission is valid lifetime and to arm you, they’ve made a supply of nifty banners and buttons to catch the eye.
