Review of TNX.Net after 1 week of usage

For those who are not aware, TNX.net is a text link ads service similar to Text-Link-Ads, and LinkWorth, but works in a slightly different model, where you can buy and sell points.

I started an advertising campaign using TNX for Online Presence. I’ve placed over 1600 links!! (Yes! you heard it right) for this month on various sites. Each link cost me 1 point. I managed to get 5000 free points using a promotional offer that they were running at DigitalPoint, so it clearly made sense to try it out.

One thing that comes straight to my mind about their advertising via their site, is that you can select the PR of pages on which links should be placed, but you cannot select the websites you want them to be placed on! Their system does that randomly. I found a major glitch though, whereby my ads were coming up on another of my own sites. What!!! I’ve reported this bug to their Support Team.

As a publisher, I love their system. You get 3000 points for a PR4 page, 1200 points for a PR3 page, 300+ points for a PR2 page. So if you have a site with lots of PR3+ pages, you can make a lot of points every month. Just review the links being placed though. A lot of warez links show up on pages with high PR.

So how much money have I made in this 1 week? Well. Let me say that it can be quite comparable to Text-Link-Ads the way its going. I’ve been quite pleased so far with what they have to offer.

You can redeem points for cash payment to PayPal accounts. The “exchange-rate” is currently at $0.62 for every 1000 points and this will grow by 2% every week.

TNX.net has a nice concept going and it will be good to watch out for them…
