TNX.net Rocks for Buying Links!
As all good web 2.0 style companies, TNX.net is in beta. However, generally being in beta means that somethings don’t work and the product or service is lacking real features and isn’t useful, yet. TNX is quite the opposite, it’s feature rich and seems to work good all the way around.
Sell Links on Each Page
Unlike many other text link companies, TNX allows you to sell links on each individual page. That means I can sell links on one of my most popular pages, and a regular page that gets moderate traffic. Naturally TNX will sell the links on my page that is more popular for more money. The benefit to this is obvious. If I’m going to be sending a large amount of traffic to an advertiser, I’m compensated more than if I’m sending fewer visitors away. Exactly as you would expect advertising to happen.
DigitalPoint Special Offer
One of the initial reasons I signed up with TNX was because I saw a thread at digital point about free text link ads. Anything that involves “free” and “text links” always gets my attention. Check out this thread, make a post and TNX will give you 5,000 credits in the TNX system.
Payouts and Commissions
As should be expected from any major advertising company, payouts are through Paypal, Check, Wire transfer, and are willing to take suggestions on other payment methods. As long as they pay through Paypal, that’s all I care about. Unlike most other advertising companies, TNX only takes 12.5% of the profit. Most companies that I’ve worked with take 50% (TLA), except Adsense, from my experience they take between 60-70% leaving you without much in terms of profit. TNX wants to keep advertisers happy, and in a competitive market they had to do something different.
Buying Links
An absolute necessity, with Google on the war path killing sites that sell links, is discretion. From TNX’s website, “Our system is Secure and Confidential: No public list of users. All sales are automated.” That is exactly what I want, a company that doesn’t advertise that I buy links and doesn’t list who sells the links.
Buying links through TNX is difficult because it’s different. It’s not necessarily bad, just different. With most advertising companies you buy a link on a specific page or site-wide link on a specific site. With this method of advertising you’re buying specific links one by one. With TNX you specify the criteria of the sites that you want to buy links on and TNX fills the order. For example, I can buy links on sites that are PR5 and better with 5,000 or more links. TNX then goes out and finds those sites that fit my predefined criteria and fills my order.
Link Buying Dangers
Since buying mass links is easy with TNX you’ll want to keep it in check in the beginning. One of the worst things you can do with your website is to buy 10,000 links that show up overnight. Google will see you trying to manipulate the SERPs and is likely to slap your site with lost rankings and drop your PR. If you’re going to start buying links through TNX, start slow and ramp up link buying over 6 months or more. This will hopefully keep Google in the dark about your link buying.
Final Thoughts
Overall, TNX is an easy way to buy links. As you can see from the Alexa graph below, I’m not the only one who thinks TNX.net is a great link buying system!

I just signed up and for a VERY reasonable price, I received several footer links. Actually, all of the links I received were footer links:( Not the end of the world. The sites are marginal but for the money…you can’t beat it.

I thought Google is punishing purchased backlinks…
Plus (Google) deffinitely will punish your website for spamming, if from one day to another suddenly you will have from 0 to 500 backlinks

Thanks for this great post.
I have been using TNX to sell links from my website since January 2008 and already earned more than I would earn in 5 months by selling links through any other networks.
TNX is definitely the best link network out there!
Will be also buying links later this month. Pretty sure TNX will do great.
I have already told all my friends about this great system and the already joined under my affiliate link, so I am making additional income from my referrals =)
Bravo, TNX!

When it comes to Google seeing that you sudently have a lot of link in short time. That will depend ou to you. You can set it up so you get only sentain amount of links every day. Also your requests for backlink are approved by the that website owner. It could take months before some approve.

How does Google view a web page with thousands of outgoing links? Does the page get overly penalised? Thnx

I have been hesitant to buy links because of the supposed back lash I might get from Google…

I agree with Davion - I’m interested in how much you guys are actually netting by selling links… is it worth the time? Still, the model looks interesting. Thanks for the tip…
