TNX - A Text Link Revolution.

So what the heck is TNX? TNX.net is a new text link advertising platform that targets both publishers and advertisers equally well. For publishers, TNX offers the opportunity to earn TNX points which can be used for various purposes simply by displaying TNX text ad links on their pages. For advertisers, TNX provides a cheap and effective way of getting high-volume, non-reciprocal links from thousands of websites that are part of TNX’s program.

How It Works

You basically set up an account, and are awarded some free points. This is pretty nice, because you can get started for free. Instead of buying links for money, you will use points to buy them. You can, of course buy more point at any time. You will spend points to buy links, and earn points for publishing links of other members. You can trade your points for cash if you want to publish to make money.

Publishers

For publishers, the sidebar includes easy access to the TNX code that you need to paste in your blog or site theme for the TNX ads to appear. You also get quick access to site management (adding and managing TNX-registered sites registered) and the TNX-points transfer.

You can monetize earned TNX-points in two ways: either by selling to other TNX users at a price that you decide, or by selling to TNX itself at a given fixed price (currently $0.73 per 1,000 points). TNX will then send you the funds via PayPal. There is a minimum $5 for payouts and a 300,000 point daily transfer limit. As a security measure, users can only transfer up to 50% of his existing balance at a time.

One nifty feature is the earnings calculator that will help you estimate how much you can earn, based on your website’s parameters (PR, link popularity; of course, assuming all your links are filled).

Advertisers

For advertisers, the sidebar gives quick access to starting an Ad Campaign. Thanks to TNX’s well-organized Ad Campaign wizard, creating and ad campaign is easy and intuitive. You can set the parameters for the sites where your ads should appear on: website categories, geo-location, number of Yahoo Backlinks (YB) and Google Page Rank.

TNX even provides a calculator of how many links you will get on based on the parameters you chose and your spending plan (in TNX points)

After setting your spending price and the other parameters, you have to load your actual ad copy to the TNX registry. There are two way of doing that: for campaigns with large volume of links (maximum of 2000 links), you can upload a text file containing the ads; or if you have a few ads, you can use the provided form. TNX also provides excellent tips for an effective ad campaign; starting advertisers can learn a lot from them. It’s also nice that TNX has made this part easy and painless.
What I Liked About Their Service

I think it’s definitely worth trying out. Their site is easy enough to use - they’ve done a really good job explaining how the system works and where everything is. This service seems to be a lot safer than Text-Link-Ads and that’s good for everyone. Buying links through TLA is getting more and more risky, and this provides a much safer alternative.

This is also a great alternative to TLA because they aren’t as stringent about who can use the service. I personally never got into TLA, and realized that I could make more profit if I handled it myself. Almost anyone can use this service, and 12.5% isn’t much of your profit.

Conclusion

I really suggest giving them a try since they are still free now. Their service looks great and their alexa ranking is improving at a fast pace.

Best of it, they are even offering an affiliate program where you get 13.3% of all TNX-points generated by the registrants and 5% of all subsequent payments. It is a good way to build up credits to use in your own campaigns while bringing your websites to a next level.
