1 month ago, I started using TNX after reading numerous blog posts about them. I read them here:
You can also Google “tnx.net review” on your search bar to get FAKE positive reviews. The reason most webmasters do FAKE positive reviews of TNX.net is because they want you to sign up under their referrals. When you signed up under their referral ID, they will make commission of links you buy and sell. Remember, Google really hate sites that buy and sell links and if you let them detect you, you will lose value on their SE.
Like many publishers and advertisers before me, I signed up with TNX.net and spent the whole day trying to learn about their system. According to many reviews, TNX was suppose to be much better than TextLinkAds. Their system allows advertisers to place links on individual pages instead of the entire site. This sounds like a good idea because I can sell or buy links for individual pages. In addition “TNX claimed that their links is undetectable by Google”, so this could be a very effective way to build links to your site.
On February 27th, I started to test TNX with one of my sites. The site I used has been established 3 months and it was getting around 100 UV/day from Google. About a week ago, all of a sudden, Google devalued that whole site. I didn’t get banned, but all the pages on that site suddenly lost its ranking. You can check out the stats below to see my traffic.
I was pissed, so I spent about 3 days to look around to find the real reason why I lost all my traffics from Google. After checking all my stats and reading shit load of blogs and forums, I found out that it was because of TNX. Note: “TNX claimed that their links is undetectable by Google”, but I found this link that will detect TNX paid links on your page.

I was selling links on my site and the link above detects my paid links. I think to myself, WTF? Learning this, I removed all my links from TNX and I also stop selling links using TNX. If the link above can detect my TNX links, Google can too. Google has started to come down on sites that buy and sell links and they will lower your SERPs ranking if they detect you buying and selling links.
Be smart and stay away from TNX.net. If you want to get banned from Google and lose traffics, use TNX.net. If you want to be successful at internet marketing, ask questions and work hard, don’t look for shortcuts. People who tend to look for shortcuts are the one falling behind. Stick to building quality contents and do what you love. Build quality links by submitting to directories, commenting on blogs with dofollow, submit to article directories, post on forum, and submit to social book marketing sites.
I’m not in the mood right now to write so much because TNX is giving me a headache and I just can’t believed I fall for the “Google cannot detects your links when you use TNX” lie. Remember, if a small site like the site above can detect paid links, Google can too.
