One thing that is most common on ‘make money online’ blogs around the blogosphere is that at some point, a TNX review will pop up. Whether it is a big blog, or even a little one, it is nearly inevitable that one will be written – and if not, the request for one to be written declined.
I’m a friendly chap, you know (
) so happily accepted their request, and here we go.

Basically TNX is a website that allows you to purchase links, and thus game Google. As you’ll know, the more backlinks from high PR websites you have, the higher your Pagerank will be – and thus the more you can sell advertising for and the more tools that are crazy about PR people will comment on your blog/site if you have dofollow installed.
The interesting thing about the website is their chart, which tells you the amount of links that you need to get to reach x PR. This blog currently has a Pagerank of 3 (until Google see this review at least
) which, by the chart tells me I have at least 555 PR1 links, 101 PR2 links, 18 PR3 links or 3 PR4 links. I suspect it’s a combination of the three, but it is an interesting one to look at – according to the chart, I need just three more PR5 links to boost the blog up one more level. I’d also need eighteen PR 10 links to get this blog to PR10, something that seems impossible unless you learn how to hack Google
(or just work for them and shove in your site somewhere
).
I registered at the website to check it out before I did this review and the interface is clean and simple to use. At the moment they’re running a special offer through Digital Point where if you join, you get 2,000 free credits to start off with (which can buy you 2k links) and another 5,000 if your website gets approved (which allows you another 5k links) – meaning a decent amount of links for free. If you like buying links, they offer a cheap way to do so – at less than $30.00 you can get 20,000 TNX Points, which allows you to purchase twenty PR5 links (which, by their price chart would allow you to get your website PR up to five – imagine how much you could sell them advertising spots for then
).
They also have a lucrative affiliate program which allows you to get points (13.3% according to this page). As it is something that should be fairly easy to promote, considering the free startup they give you (if you want to build backlinks to a website, 7,000 free links is not a bad way to begin – especially if they come with your anchor text… something that can help you start ranking fairly high in the search engines fairly quickly.
There are a lot of things to cover in this review, as TNX are quite a large organization; first off, their free tool that helps paid links look natural – you’ll be slapped by Google if they don’t – secondly the tips they offer to help website owners rank high in Google for competitive keywords. Ranking high in the search engines for high searched keywords can not only send you an appropriate amount of traffic, but also the accompanying high amount of revenue if you optimize your website correctly.
With 45,000+ users at the moment and more than 28,000,000 links sold through their system, TNX is slowly growing (around 0.4% increase a day) – start and join in the text link revolution. The only question I have is… wtf does TNX mean?

Hi Jason. I have seen a lot of these reviews around the web. Never read one until now. I should have read it sooner
I think I’ll join them and see what it can do for me.
Was asked also to do a review for them.

@Aleks – Buying links from pageranked sites helps increase your pagerank. However, there are free solutions, but you probably won’t get the same result as if you had originally purchased links.
I saw the TNX thread on digitalpoint, I think I will check them out. Maybe I will increase my pagerank. Hopefully…
