What Is TNX.Net? A Review

First of all I wanted to disclose that I was paid to review this company and am expressing my own opinions.

Sell links on every page of your site to thousands of advertisers!

What is TNX.net? Well, let me tell you what I have learned. They are a site that provides a way to improve your ranking in the search engine by increasing the links to your site. You do this by being a Webmaster, which is selling space on your website to the advertisers, or by being an Advertiser. The higher page ranking your page has, the more you will be paid for the link. You are paid in points in advance for the space by the advertiser on a monthly basis.

The goal is to improve the search engine ranking on your site by bringing in more traffic due to the links that are based on keywords in your niche and the niche of the advertiser. I can see this as being a good money maker if you have a lot websites with a lot of pages. Being paid in points for every page can add up each month. I don’t see it being worth your investment or trouble for only a few pages.

TNX.net works as an advertising system that allow you to earn profits on your website by allowing advertisers to place a link to their site. There will be a different link place on each page of your website. I have tried this out in the past…and have not made a final decision on whether to use it again or not. I am not sure if I like the point system versus being paid in actual money. You can be paid up to a 1000 points per page, IF you page ranking is high, and that equals to .76 cents….a page ranking of 0 gets 9 points, and a PR2 gets 1800 points.

If you are an advertiser, you will buy link space, but TNX chooses the pages and sites to place the links on. The mission of TNX is to increase your search engine rankings and improve the quality of your site, and hopefully, increasing your income. As this is something new, I do want to watch it for a while, I want to see how Google is going to handle this and if it is something that will be penalized, which I don’t care to take that chance at the moment.

There are plenty of ways to make money online, and I just don’t see that the benefit is great enough to take the risk quite yet. Maybe in the future.

eBay is Leaving Commission Junction

Just as I am updating all my sites with the new privacy policy I just got an email from eBay this morning.

” We are excited to announce eBay’s new global affiliate platform: the eBay Partner Network.

The new platform will go live on April 1st, 2008 PST, at which point eBay will no longer be running its affiliate program through Commission Junction.  Beginning April 1st, affiliates should register with eBay Partner Network and migrate their links from CJ to the new platform.

While CJ and ValueClick have been valuable partners to eBay throughout the years, we’ve decided to give our affiliate community a customized experience for eBay affiliates.

All the great tools and benefits of working with the eBay program will remain the same – access to the Editor Kit and affiliate API, the flexible destination tool, the great payout structure.  In addition, the eBay partner network will provide several new features:
•       Easy global registration to multiple countries simultaneously
•       New, targeted banners and rich media creatives
•       New landing page optimization and geo-targeting capabilities
•       More detailed reporting capabilities for eBay’s programs

The eBay Partner Network and Commission Junction will run in parallel for one month through this process, so please plan to complete your migration by May 1st, 2008.”

So…. I am going to have to go through and edit all my sites once again come April 1st. So I decided to hold off editing the remainder of my sites until that date so I can do both the Privacy Policy and update the eBay links at the same time.

Changes to Google Adsense TOS

Google Adsense stated that all websites with adsense on them have to have a privacy policy. So I have spent the past few days going through every page of every single one of my websites adding a privacy policy to them. I still have so many more sites to go through.

That is one of the downsides of having so many websites, when changes have to be made, it takes forever.

Anyway, I wanted to let you all know about that and to make sure you add a privacy policy to all your sites.

I found a nifty free tool on here that I have been using as my template -

Hope that helps.

About Earnings Updates

Sorry I got behind on my earnings updates. I will work on getting some up to share with everyone. I didn’t realize that people enjoyed them that much.

I have been trying to not focus on earnings as much. I have a health issue that has been preoccuping my mind this month and has taken precendence over my debt situation.

I am working hard to get healthy so I can see my kids grow up and spend more time doing what is important. Read more »
