TNX requested us to run a sponsored review for their website. MakeUseOf only accepts what we think may benefit you or at least you would be interested to learn about. 
One of the biggest challenges facing any webmaster / blogger is how to give yourself a higher position in the search engine results. Obviously we all vie for that coveted number one spot on Google but even breaking into the top ten can be a big achievement these days, given the growing proliferation of websites. But how do you successfully navigate your way to the top?
The answer, according to Google, is to have your site linked to “high-quality websites” and so every webmaster and blogger is subsequently on the lookout for sites to swap links with. But this can be a long and difficult process as
- Finding the right sites to link to can be difficult.
- Websites come and go on a daily basis.
- Links get inserted then replaced on a regular basis.
- Webmasters and bloggers will not link to you unless it in their best interests to do so.
Enter TNX.net to make your life a little easier. If you are a webmaster / blogger, you can sell links on your webpages and TNX is the “middle man” taking a 12.5% cut of the revenue you manage to generate. Linking to other sites will help you generate some cash flow. How much you are able to command for each link is dependent on the number of backlinks (based on Yahoo) to that page. The higher the count, the higher the price.
If you are a publisher, TNX will enable you to automatically showcase your pages to thousands of potential advertisers. One major advantage of TNX, over the other similar programs is targeting and relevance. Not only it allows advertisers to buy links from related websites but also from the sites in the same geographical region or country.
When you sell ad space on your site, you are paid in points and advertisers must also use points to buy links. You can at any time sell your points for cash, either to TNX or to another TNX user. What makes the TNX service unique is that the ads are not just confined to the main page. You can also sell links on all your sub-pages too. So you can set each page to work, earning money for you.
I personally feel that using a service like TNX takes away some of the fun of building a website and building contacts. I would much rather do some networking and earn my own links the old-fashioned way. But we are all different in our approach to the internet and if you are either a business that relies heavily on online exposure to drive your sales or if you are a webmaster / blogger looking to earn some extra cash, then TNX.net is definately worth considering.
