A (Purportedly) Safe Way To Sell Text Links.

Everyone who lives by their blogs would have by now given up on the easiest and by far most lucrative of blog incomes, that is, selling text links. There is no denying that if your blog is popular enough to attract Advertisers to buy links, you will have a steady stream of passive income that beats most Pay Per Click Programs, all the reason why selling and buying of links will never be eradicated from the surface of the blogosphere.

Though the direct sale of text links is easily spotted by Search Engines, a link placed in a normal post is almost impossible to differentiate unless the post states clearly that those links in their post are paid for. This where TNX.net stands out from the crowd of text link brokers.

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

Many reviews have been written about TNX.net and the way they buy and sells links. They work almost in the same vein except links sold by TNX.net are not the direct type that you see in the sidebars of many blogs selling text links. The links offered to advertisers from webmaster or in this case, a blogger, comes directly from their post.

What happens is once your blog is approved, normally within 2 days after submission, you need to add a piece of code to your template and the more pages you have the more links you can sell. The good news is the words that have been sold as links will be linked in the usual way. That means, it will look like an ordinary link so it would be quite difficult for search robots to determine if it is a paid link. All this is clearly explained in TNX.net’s website should you want to learn more or Signup as a Webmaster or an Advertiser

The payment method leaves much to be desired though. Instead of being paid by cold hard cash, a publisher is paid by points. I gather this is to encourage publishers to become advertisers themselves. Spending cold hard cash to buy advertisements may deter a lot of people, but if it is just called points, then we may part with them more easily and not feel so much heartache, so in my opinion, that is a very good business strategy. Of course, if you prefer and is prudent, you can sell the points to TNX.net in exchange for cash, value pending daily. As an opening appetiser for all to sign-up, TNX,net is giving away free text link ads worth 5000 points on occasion of their recent re-launch of TNX Worldwide version.

For those who has reservations about selling links of any kind in their blogs, but wants to make some money, it would be still be feasible to sign-up and take advantage of the affiliate program offered by TNX.net. You can earn up to 13.3 % of your referral’s income just by inserting a referral link or a banner in your blog. Just to give you a peace of mind, all the referral link codes comes with a “rel=nofollow” attribute. So rest easy and sign-up with TNX.net
