Review: TNX.net
Recently I was approached by TNX.net to do a review of their website. I gladly accepted their offer and have spent quite some time researching the company and learning the ins and outs of their service.
TNX.net is a relatively new service that connects advertisers and publishers, and helps in the sale and purchase of text links. Since its inception, TNX.net has had huge success and growth. Boasting nearly 41,000 publishers, TNX.net has sold over 31 million ads as of January 18, 2008.
TNX.net Features
Working like many other ad brokers like Text Link Ads, TNX.net works by placing ads on a publisher’s site through a special code snippet that has to be installed on the publisher’s site. One of the main differences between TNX.net and other ad brokers is that they sell ads on your pages on a “page-by-page” basis. This is advantageous for the publisher for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, as the publisher, you can command more money from your popular pages. If your blog has 10 pages with a Google PR of 3, you could sell all of those spots and make about $10 per month. The higher your PR and the more pages you have with high PR, the more beneficial it is for you as a publisher.
Secondly, their tracking code automatically detects how many pages you have available for sale. As sited on PublisherSpot, within 2 days of installing the tracking code on their forums, over 500 text links had sold. Their code is solid and seems to work out best if you have lots of pages such as a forum or directory, or if you have a site with really high PR.
In a 10 page scenario, this is the breakdown of payout vs. PR:
- PR 1: $2.25 per month
- PR 2: $4.50 per month
- PR 3: $9.00 per month
- PR 4: $22.50 per month
- PR 5: $45.00 per month
- PR 6: $112.50 per month
- PR 7: $225.00 per month
Additionally, you can sell up to 4 links per page. Meaning, if you have a page with a PR of 2 and sell 4 ads on 10 pages (40 ads total), you would bring in up to $18 per month.
TNX.net also uses a point system to buy and sell ads rather than using a real currency. Advertisers buy credits called TNX Points. According to the TNX.net website, “There is no minimum amount of points you can purchase, but it is suggested that you buy more points”. This is so that when you purchase ads, it is required for you to have a positive balance in your account for ads to be displayed. TNX Points are rather flexible; that is, once you buy them you can either resell or transfer them to other advertisers free of charges or commissions.
So how much does it cost? For $30, a pretty reasonable startup cost, you can currently purchase 20,000 TNX Points. These 20,000 points can be spent by purchasing advertising in websites ranging from PR0 all the way up to PR5. 20,000 points can get you 20 different backlinks from a website with PR5 and 20,000 backlinks from websites with PR0 for a 30 day period.
Get Started!
TNX.net is a great place to purchase text links. For as little as $1, you can purchase over 600 links that will last you for 30 days. To be smart and try it out, I would invest about $10 and purchase 10 links on PR3 sites or 4 links on PR4 sites for 30 days. The signup process is simple and free!
I would recommend that anyone interested in advertising their blog to head over to TNX.net and sign up. Advertising prices are currently pretty cheap and you could stand to gain a lot by placing your ads on high PR websites. Additionally, if you want to monetize your site, TNX.net will do it for you quickly and easily; all you have to do is add a small snippet of code on your site and you’ll be ready to earn.
