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
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.

It’s too bad that they require PHP, so I can’t join in. Anyway thought your readers may like to know that they can get free points at this forum thread.
does this work with Blogger? … I can’t seem to get it to work.
We are on Wordpress, so I am not really sure about it. Although, if you’re able to add PHP code to your template files it should work.
You can’t use TNX on the Blogger platform. To use TNX you must have access to PHP scripting because the code runs as a PHP script.
I have to admit that TNX is one of my favorite new programs (and I’ve experimented with pretty much every affiliate and webmaster monetization program). TNX has allowed me to monetize to website that I found extremely difficult to monetize and I’ve earned more in one month with TNX than I did in two years with Adsense.
I dont think blogs are allowed in TNX.net
They allow only big sites which are properly coded in php.
Blogs generally work up in HTML and CSS while bigger sites do it in php.
Digital point is surely a good place to sell link for the bloggers.
TNX.net is an excellent program. Another similar program worth considering is Etology. I’ve been using this service for a few months now and so far I’m quite happy with the results. I haven’t had a chance to advertise with this system yet, but as a publisher I love the freedom to sell ad space based on my own prices. Check out this review that I wrote a few weeks ago and let me know what you think.
