TNX Review

Today I will be reviewing TNX.net which helps you in buying and selling links on other websites. This service is helpful for both publishers as well as the advertisers. The service provides TNX points which can be used to advertise your websites or you can also sell these points.
As a website publisher you will be able to sell links not just on the main page but on all the pages of your website. On top of that, you get a chance to choose between thousands of advertisers registered with their service. TNX deducts a commission of 12.5% on every transaction that you make, which according to me is a reasonable amount. The prices for links are calculated automatically based on factors like link popularity, PR and the number of external links. The code can be easily installed on your website which is used to display the advertisers’ link.

When considering the inbound links to your website, you just can’t get enough of them. Getting people to link to your website isn’t easy but that’s the only way to get traffic and of course, the moolah! Webmasters and bloggers know many ways to build incoming links and use them daily to acquire more and more links.
After careful examination, I have consolidated ten most popular link building techniques into a list and here they are, for your reading pleasure!
1. Link Exchange
The most widely used and predominant link building technique is the exchange of links with other like-minded websites. This can be done through one-way link exchange, reciprocal link exchange or a clever three-way link exchange. One way link exchanges are hard to do as it only requires the target website to link back to you. People will only link to your website if they are paid or in lieu of any other incentive.
Reciprocal link exchanges are easy because you are also putting the target website’s link on your website, therefore, the give and take rule applies here.
Finally, there is the little known three-way link exchange technique. Let me give you an example of how its done. Say, you own websites “A” & “B” and want good inbound links for website “A”. You go out and do a three-way link exchange with a webmaster who owns the website “C”. When doing the exchange, you put C’s link on your website “B” (instead of putting it on website “A”), and C puts “A” link on their website. So, you are basically gaining one way link for your website “A” without losing any Page value.
In order to initiate a link exchange, you will have to contact a website’s administrator by sending an email stating what you want to do. Make sure your e-mail is courteous and you explain what benefit the other website will get out of the link exchange. You can also try visiting different webmaster forums where you can find many people wanting to do link exchanges.
2. Social Bookmarking Websites
With the introduction of social bookmarking websites like Del.icio.us, Stumbleupon, Redditt, Digg etc., getting targetted traffic to your website is easier than before. People will bookmark your website if it is useful to them and has good content. Every person who bookmarks your website helps you in getting an incoming link.
You can link to the bookmarking sites so that its easy for your visitors to bookmark your website. Wordpress users can even download plugins which automatically put bookmarking links under your individual posts. Once someone bookmarks your website, there are chances that he will return back to your website sometime later. He might even share that bookmark with his friends/family which can get you more visitors.
