TNX.net is a new text-link broker that helps publishers and advertisers buy and sell links. TNX is a relatively new player in the text-link game, but they have seen some tremendous growth in the past few months, as seen by their Alexa Rank (about 10,000). On my account dashboard I can see that they currently have 42,000 users and over 33,000,000 links in their system.

In today’s internet, publishers have to be very careful about who they link to. Some text link companies simply provide you with a piece of code to slap on your website, and you have no choice over what text links appear on your site. This is not good business. Not only can your site look unprofessional with unrelated links on it, but you can also be penalized by big search engines. With TNX, webmasters can choose their advertisers themselves, placing only links that are relevant to every page of their sites.

For example, if you run a website about Dogs and you have two subpages, one for dog food supplies and one for dog clothes… you can pick different links to appear on your pages instead of have the same links appear sitewide. You can go into the TNX system and select a dog food advertiser for your dog food page, and you can select a dog clothes advertising link for your dog clothes page. The more relevant your links, the better your site will look through the eyes of Google.

TNX isn’t just for publishers, they also have a very extensive section for advertisers. The main advantage for advertisers is the price of links, it is very reasonable and the ability to promote hundreds of keywords with just few clicks. Prices of links are the lowest on the market. For as low as $11 a month you may get up to 10,000 static links to your website.

Signing Up
Signing up with TNX is a breeze. It took me under a minute to submit my username, password and email. Unlike other companies, TNX eliminates the need for multiple accounts. Your one account will control the publishing, advertising, and affiliate aspects of the system.

While creating an account is an instant process, submitting a website to TNX isn’t. You must wait 1-3 days in order for your website to be manually reviewed by TNX team.

Once you are signed up, you will have a very easy to use dashboard to control everything (pictured below).

Link Generator Tool
TNX offers a free tool for advertisers to make paid links look natural for Google. This is an awesome tool that generate hundreds of different anchors with a click of a button. Check out a screenshot of it:

Point System
TNX operates on a Point System, instead of using actual dollars. Advertisers can purchase TNX Points and in return use those points to buy text-links on participating websites. When a link is purchased, the publisher will be paid in TNX Points, which can then be either recycled in the system to purchase more links or cashed out.

Payouts
Currently TNX will buyout your tnx-points at the rate of $0.73 per 1000pts. TNX also set a maximum of 300,000 pts./day transferred, but not more than 50% (daily limit) of all points on the account. That comes to a maximum of $200+ you can withdrawl on a daily basis. Payments are made on a monthly basis and distributed via check, Paypal, or bank wire.

Affiliate Program
While you’re making money selling text-links, you can also earn commissions through the TNX Affiliate Program. When you bring a new webmaster to the system, you will receive 13.3% of all “TNX-points”, he/she will earn in the future (a reward for referring an advertiser is also available). Interest is paid for the lifetime of the account.

Support
TNX has a couple different methods of support. They have a Live Chat and a Support Forum with over 10,000 posts. I could not find a contact email address or phone number.

TNX Special Offer:
Due to the recent launch of TNX, they are giving away up to 5,000 points that you can use to buy links from up to 5,000 websites. You can read more about their special offer here.

Summary:
TNX is a great alternative to other text link companies. The best feature they have is the ability to choose which links are displayed on your website and individual pages, rather than having the same sitewide links on all your pages.
