Promoting their affiliate program is quite a profitable idea as well. Concerning the link building, as long as one uses this program to get limited number of links is good. Otherwise he risks a google penalty or something like that.

Monetize Guru is right!

It happened to me, just like he said.
My site was #1 in Google out of 26,000,000.
I used TNX for 3 months, and slowly built links.
Then, right after a Google update, my home page disappeared from Google. I can still find a few of my backpages, but they are way down Google’s search list.

Monetize Guru did not say how he got back into Google’s good graces. I have not achieved that yet. Some other blogs said that you should delete TNX and write a letter to Google promising never to do it again.

I informed TNX, and deleted them from my website. I added a few new web pages, updated my Google sitemap, and notified Google about the sitemap update. I have not set the penitence letter yet.

An update for anyone still using TNX. Check out their traffics: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/tnx.net

Everyone is leaving TNX because all the publishers lose their PR on front page and inner pages. Good luck with your decisions.

Yep I tried that tool and on my completely whitehat site it tried telling me an internal link could be a paid link???? WTF lol.

Tried it on a site that I know has TNX links and guess what…. no paid links on that site

Not a very good tool at all

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.

I did another experience with TNX by selling links on one of my top sites. After selling links through TNX for 3 months and getting some decent money, most of my pages witness a PR decrease. Selling links is definitely not good because it will devalue your site with Google. When the people that sell links take themselves off from TNX.net, it affects the buyers a lot. Google see you links and then they don’t see the links anymore after a few months will hurt you ranking a lot. Google sees that you are buying links, therefore they lower your keywords tremendously. Go check Alexa rank for TNX.net, you can see that a lot of people are leaving TNX.net because they reap no benefit from using this ad network.

Hey Tim,

I was just searching for TNX reviews and came across your web site. I have to say I am surprised that you were sold so easily on that wmtips.com tool because it doesn’t detect paid links.

Sorry, but it just doesn’t. I ran it on my site which doesn’t have any paid links and it detected a 728*90 banner advertisement as a paid link!

the way paid-links-detector works is it requests given url twice and detects outgoing links that are not the same in both responds.

in tnx.net case you would think, that in one page tnx system would show the same link, but paid-links-detector is adding a random get parameter like ‘&tmoipld=18′ and in this case the tnx system wouldn’t show any link. so you can easily be detected.

i doubt that by default the google crawler is adding fake parameters to detect payed links. maybe only if they are having some doubts.

anyway you could be a link building pro and still get cough!

Ohh and what worse?? Were you on earth when the PR penalty occured for paid links??

Google reduced the PR of many websites to miniature figures, But REMEMBER, No SERPS were affected.. If thats the price for paid links I am sure many would sacrifice PR..its one useless green bitchy pixel bar..

Cud derive some importance in the coming time, but as of now..it sucks!
