Make money with your blog or improve its traffic with TNX.net
It's very possible that most of you guys have already heard about TNX.net. But let's face it: there are still people out there ( either webmasters, bloggers or just simple web surfers ) that may not have had the chance of checking out this service just yet. This is why I thought it would be nice to talk about it in today's post. So, what is TNX, after all? First of all, the term "TNX" it's an abbreviation of "Thanks". Don't you tell me you never-ever used this short form when sending SMS messages or while chatting online with your friends, via your favorite IM ( Instant Messaging ) program, as I won't believe you:).
"So, that's it? It's just a simple, stupid and boring abbreviation of an word?!" I'm sorry to disappoint you and making you feel like you're wasting your time here, but it is more than that. If you'd stop interrupting me so often, you'd have the opportunity to find out more about this website. Simply said, TNX is a new text link advertising platform, which is addressing to both publishers and advertisers. Obviously, the first category of people want to monetize their sites or blogs and have an additional income source ( different from the ones they may already use ), while the second category would like to spread the word about their products, services etc and drive more traffic to their sites ( therefore, generating more sales and earning more money ). How exactly does it works?
Well, first of all you have to sign up for a free account, so you can use this income generating/advertising platform. Once you complete this easy step ( where you just have to fill in a form with some basic details ), you can proceed to either earning money or advertising your site/blog. What I'd like to mention, for those who have registered mainly for promotion purposes, is that the guys from TNX.net are giving 5,000 points to all new members, to help them with their campaigns ( normally, such amount of points would cost you around $10 ). But there's a catch: to get them, you'll have to go to the DP forums ( DP = Digital Point ) and leave a reply to this thread, saying that you've just signed up and you'd like to receive your free points ( the promotion is still active, as far as I know. NOTE: DO NOT..and I say again..DO NOT forget to also tell TNX staff what's your ID and username, so they can know to who should send those points! ).
If you follow the above mentioned steps correctly, you should get your points. I don't think this whole process is that complicated..After your account is credited, you can start buying links on other relevant websites, so you can improve your websites' or blog's ranks ( and I'm talking about Google PageRank, Alexa PR etc..you got the picture, right? :). What if you just want to make money and you're not so interested in advertising? What should you do? Answer: Again, the process is simple: instead of starting an advertising campaign, just go to the "Webmaster" section of your account ( which is placed on the left-hand side menu of the TNX.net website ) and click on the "Get code" tab. NOTE 2: all the codes located on the "Get code" page are in PHP, ASP/ASPX and PERL language. Unless your hosting account can accept this type of codes, you won't be able to start displaying any links, therefore, you won't make money!
If your hosting account CAN handle this types of codes, you're free to use them ( and congratulations ;)! Also, don't forget to first add a site to your TNX account, for an easier way of tracking your performances ( and not only ). This is made by clicking on the "Add new site" tab, located right next to the "Get code" tab, in the "Webmaster" section.
Believe me when I say that there are many more things to be mentioned about this fine service. But because this article is probably too long already, I would like to give you the opportunity to find out more about TNX.net yourselves. It's not that I'm an lazy-ass and I don't wanna write all the details..it's just that I like to let my visitors learn more about the sites, programs etc I present by themselves too. Wouldn't you do the same?
Before coming to an end, I would like to let you know a few more things:
1. TNX is running its own affiliate program. Yep, just refer other webmasters/bloggers and earn even more.
2. They also have a free tool which can make all links you're using for advertising campaigns to look as normal as they can be in any search engine's eyes.
3. And last, but not least, you're provided with some useful tips on how to rank high on SERPs ( Search Engine Results Pages ) for almost any competitive keywords or key phrases.
I hope TNX well help you make money with your blog or website, or it will improve its ranks ( should you choose to advertise via this service ). Good luck!

Alexa.com is a subsidiary of Amazon.com. It is a website which provides information on traffic levels for websites. The Alexa rank is measured according to the amount of users who’ve visited a website with the Alexa toolbar installed. Alexa toolbar is an application developed by Alexa Internet. Its primary use is to measure website statistics. This toolbar collects as well as gives some valuable information. Once you install it, the Alexa toolbar monitors all your surfing and collects information about what domains you visit. They use this data to rank web sites. The traffic rank they assign to websites is based on 3 months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of other users and is a combined measure of page views and users. Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog’s Alexa rank as a gauge to determine the worth of a link on your website. If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you’ll definitely want to increase your Alexa rank, because it’ll increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.
I like your blog but Invesment on PPC, I do not think that its good idea to get traffic online. For small sized business owner, cannot afford such investment on PPC. Personally, I do not prefer PPC. Rahter than investing on ppc, I mostly do natural promotion for better search engine ranking and I get relevant traffic for website with nice keywords
@ Fortune Park Hotels: Thanks for the reminder about Alexa and also for commenting.
@ Jeff: I'm glad you like my blog, mate. As about PPC advertising, I have to agree with you: this may not be for everyone. So, if you're a small sized business and have a limited advertising budget, I would too recommend other ways of driving traffic to your site ( such as organic traffic or other free or low cost methods ). Good point, Jeff!
See you!
