Limited Offer at Digital Point forums: Get LINKS from 5,000 quality websites for FREE!
I have been checking a new site that offers Website and Blog promotion services: tnx.net. It sounds pretty interesting. They offer you ways to promote your Website or Blog through links.
TNX.net offers a program for both Advertisers and Publishers in which they state:
Advertisers can build links on related Sites or Blogs that will help you increase your rankings on Search Engines, receive targeted traffic from relevant sites at low prices and create and manage your own campaigns through an easy to use interface.
Publishers will be able to sell links on every page of their site automatically to many advertisers, receive payouts every month and install the code on your site very easily (copy-paste method).
Due to the recent launch of TNX-worldwide version, they are giving away up to 5,000 points that you can use to buy links from up to 5,000 websites, when you join their program.
So I went to Digital Point forums where they have the offer of free text link ads and checked the comments others have left about the site’s offer, it seems they are pretty serious about it.
Then I joined their network and created my own account as an advertiser and a publisher and got my free 5,000 points on the next day accredited to my account. Installed a publisher code on my site and created my own ad campaign with the 5000 bonus points I received for joining their program. I’m waiting for my campaign approval.
They also offer an affiliate program, it’s a way of sending them quality traffic and earn some extra money with your site. I’m thinking of joining their affiliate program also, I’m just waiting to see how it goes with the campaign I created on their site.
