There are a lot of services letting you earn some money from placing links on your web site and TNX.net is one of them.

TNX lets you as a web site owner earn money from links on your web site and advertisers can buy links to their sites from sites in the same niche. What’s different from TNX and some other similar services is the point system they use instead of cash. For showing link on your site you earn points and as an advertiser you spend points which can be sold to/bought from TNX. I have to say that I don’t really like the point system . I would have preferred hard cash instead since it’s easier to understand how much you earn/spend, but one good thing is that the $ amounts are also mentioned almost everywhere.

If you’re selling link on your site you can of course spend your earned points on advertising campaigns promoting your own sites, so you don’t have to cash in your points if you don’t want to .

Something really good and surprising these days where the registration process. It was so easy it almost scared me. No CAPTCHA, no email verification link, nothing !

Webmasters

All webmasters (i.e. people wanting to earn points) have to add a special PHP or Perl code to their pages. The downside with this code is that it’s not working on all pages on your site. You need to have the possibility to run scripts. Ok, most webmasters do have that option today, but some don’t .

You can of course ad more then one site and also add the code on more then just your main page.

I wasn’t able to find any information on how popular you site must be to earn 1000 credits, but I guess this part from the advertiser FAQ will give you an idea:

What can you do with 20,000 TNX-Points?
In case website characteristics are not important (YahooBacklinks [YB] below 500, category “Fun and Games”), then you can buy a month (in case spots are available) of static links to your site:

- 20 000 different PR0 pages from different websites
- 400 different PR1 pages from different websites
- 200 different PR2 pages from different websites
- 100 different PR3 pages from different websites
- 40 different PR4 pages from different websites
- 20 different PR5 pages from different websites

So from one link on a PR3 page you should be able to earn 20 000 points / 100 links * ($0.78 / 1000) = $0.156 . $0.78 was taken from the “Sell points”-page and is the market value of 1 000 TNX points at 2008/04/09.

Advertisers

As an advertiser you get several options when you create your campaigns. You select category, language of the sites, Yahoo back links and Google PR on the sites you want to advertise on. What really confused me was that when I selected only one category I got 1750 links to my site for $11.20/month, but when I selected two categories I only got 1400 links for the same amount . Anyway, $11.20/month for 1750 links sounds like a good deal to me

When I signed up my account they had 15685 sites I could advertise on in 17 categories:
