There is a great way of reaching a target audience and adding relevant advertising to your Web site. It’s all about TNX.net. Let me give you a bit more detail.

TNX.net is a relatively new but awesome text link ads system that combines benefits of contextual ad system, text link brokers and is profitable for both advertisers and publishers.

Over 31.900.00 text link ads per month and more than 38.000 webmasters involved- these numbers speak for themselves. And TNX.net is completely free to join.

Benefits of Publishers

Site owners can sell links on every page of the site, but not just the home page.
You’ll receive TNX-Points when a link is sold. To avoid irrelevant text link ads on your site -you are the one to have full control to block link ads purchase. After gaining a certain amount of TNX-Points, you have some alternatives:

· you can transfer points to another user
· you can use points to advertise your own site by purchasing links from other websites
· you can cash in points for money

The points system will probably take some time to get used to. Current price of 1,000 (one thousand) TNX-points is $0.68 - 1.36 depending on the quantity you buy (basic price is $1.36), and every week it grows by 2.8 %. If you have some referrers, you’ll gain 13.3 % commission of all TNX-points that are generated by webmaster’s websites, and 5% of all payments, made by referred advertiser.

TNX.net has a low $ 5 payout that is rather convenient. And it takes only three days to process a payout. Checks, Wire, PayPal, MoneyBookers, and WebMoney are used as payment processors.

Note: Unlike other text link brokers, offering 50%, with TNX.net you will receive 75% of the sales of the ads on your site.

Benefits of Advertiser

TNX.net allows advertisers purchasing non-reciprocal links from thousands of relevant websites and gives the ability to promote hundreds of keywords with just few clicks.

You can select single page to locate your ads at. Or you just need to select the sum of text link ads. These will be placed on websites (with selected PageRank, number of Yahoo backlinks, etc) on selected category automatically. The 1000 inbound links will cost you as much as $ 1.14 that is a best buy.

You can select the category your ads will appear. Geo-targeting is also offered.

If some questions occur, they have a multi-language (English, German and Russian) live chat for support.

TNX.net it’s worth a shot. I’ll try this system in a couple of weeks on a few of my sites to see what happens. Paying just $ 10 I’ll get my ads appearing on TNX.net’s huge network of publishers.
I like their offer for newbies so much. TNX.net network is now offering 2,000 TNX – Points on every new account. And they will credit 5,000 TNX-Points more free of charge after your website is approved.
The user interface is very user friendly. It’s possible to easily manage both advertiser and publisher accounts on one single account. And also, they say there is no more than 4 text link ads placed on each page by default, so it does not look like a link farm, thus there is no risk to get banned or penalized by search engines.
