Marketing And Promoting Your Site
Recently I have been trying out a few new ways to monetize my blog and also gain a little exposure by advertising. First, advertising can be expensive. If done improperly an advertising campaign will cause your site to lose money instead of make it. That is why advertising should focus on the proper keywords designed to bring the right traffic to your site.
In walks TNX with a great tool for selling and buying advertising. I have seen a little bit about them on the net for a little while now and the service seems interesting to say the least. I have been looking at it for a few days now and so far it looks like it could be a great way to get some good advertising in for your site and if you have a well ranked site you could make some good money. Lets take a look at the advertising first.
Advertising
We all no that ranking for certain keywords is a great way to drive targeted traffic to your site. Through the service at TNX you can buy literally thousands of contextually relevant links back to your site using the keywords that you choose. You would think that would be expensive but if you want say 10,000 links you could pay as low as $11.00. That seems like a fairly reasonable price to me.
The price of the links depends upon page rank, website category, link popularity, and number of outbound links so you shouldn’t expect to get that many links on a pr6 site for that price but it is still reasonable. The sign up process is very simple and they also have a promotion where they are giving you 5000 points to try out the system. You can read the thread over at Digital Point. They are making it so that you have no reason to at least not try it out. It might even help you rank higher for that phrase that you are shooting for.
Publisher
Now buying links isn’t the only thing that you can do through them. You can also sell them. The ball is completely in your court on this one. You choose which pages that links show up on, how many links per page, and which links that you want to display. The good thing about it is this is almost a passive income. Just continue what you do normally with your site (write, promote) and once you have installed the code on your site the links will show up automatically. If you don’t like a link, just log in to TNX and block, delete, or ban the site that purchased the link.
Now with this system you can also choose how you are paid. You get points when someone buys a link on your site, when you are ready, you can cash those points in for money or you can use them to advertise on other sites. It would really be up to you. Another good point is that they only charge a 12.5% fee to cover the fees incurred from operating the site (which is better than some other services that I have tried).
Affiliates
You are not left out either, you make 13.3% of every link that is sold on someones site that you referred. That seems to be a fairly reasonable payout and if you have a very popular site then I am sure that you will get plenty of referrals. All you need is a link from the site you have registered with TNX or stick up a banner like this;

I checked that site out a while back (and rechecked to make sure just now). It is definitely a good deal for affiliates and advertisers, but as far as publishers… not so much.
Thanks for a great post.
I have been selling links via TNX for few months and it is definitely THE BEST system to sell links through. Neither one competitor on the market pay as much and as fast as TNX.net does.
I will make sure to let all my friends know about this great programm.
Cheers,
Dave.
