Link Advertising and Making Money Online with TNX.net

I think everyone who keeps active on webmaster forums and blogosphere whould certainy have witnessed the heavy promotions which is being done for a new site named TNX.NET. I could see it in hundreds of signatures on forums, avatars of people and banners on blogs. I decided to do some research on this site and find out what exactly it is all about.
After spending much time there and reading about it on other blogs. what I found was that the system is quite similar to TextLinkAds, ReviewMe etc. I.e brining advertisers and publishers together at one place. Publishers who have websites with good Page Rank can sell text link ads on their websites and Advertisers who want links, can buy links on the publishers websites. Offcourse the method of working of the system is quite different and instead of dollars changing hands, TNX points changes hands. The TNX system works on a flexible credit point system. You get bonus credits, you can buy credits, assign credits to campaigns and even sell credits or transfer to some other TNX account. When you add your websites to TNX system, TNX places ads on your websites and you are given TNX points for that. You can then transfer these TNX point to someone else, sell it to TNX, sell to other person for money or use them for advertising your own websites. As simple as that. For some particular reasons, I find TNX better than Text-Link-Ads and Text Link Brokers. You can use TNX even on static HTML and Perl based websites , you can’t do this with Text-Link-Ads. TLA supports only scripts and blogs. Moreover when it comes to cost of advertising, you can get links at TNX almost one fourth the price at Text-Link-Ads. Consider my sidebar where i have used Text Link Ads, the price is 35$ per month fixed by them which turns most advertisers away and when someone buys a link here, i only get 50% and that sucks.
Joining TNX is absolutely free and anyone can join. Click here to register. After joining you get a signup bonus of 2000 credit points and by posting in this DP thread you can get an additional 5000 points too. After signing up, you can login immediately and you see a very user friendly dashboard. You see a sidebar where you have all the tools which can get you started. You can get the code which you need to keep on your website (offcourse a bit larger), but you can use caching options to minimize server load and bandwidth easily. There is a site management section where you can manage the websites you have added. The system doesn’t need anymore explanation since most of the stuff can be understood once you have started using the website.
For Advertisers, things are also very simple. TNX has a very well organized ad campaign wizard. You can set every parameter like the number of websites you want you ads to appear on. The number of yahoo backlinks they must have and moreover the Google PageRank. The system even has calculator where you can provide how many TNX Credits you are willing to spend and it will tell you exactly how much links are possible with that credit.
Affiliate Program
Similar to Text-Link-Ads, TNX also has a affiliate program which provides all publishers to earn credits simply by referring people to use TNX. There is a 13% payout from all the earnings of the users whom you have referred. TNX has many methods for affiliates to advertise like direct text links, banner spots.
Overall, I would like to say that TNX is a great new place for webmasters and advertisers. Webmasters can easily earn money and advertisers buy text links easily. The system works perfectly and the use of credits and points instead of dollars makes things more flexible.

hmm…. a point system looks interesting - I wonder how big of a competition they are going to be for TLA
