TNX is an advertising system that facilitates the selling and buying of text links at a low price. This system was created for advertisers that want to increase their website ranking in search engines fast. This system is different from other advertising system because website owners that are TNX publishers are actually selling their site ranking, and the advertisers don’t want visitors, they want to increase their website rank.

The TNX code is “very simple” and comes in two versions PHP and Pearl, and because of this spider will not detect the code easily.

For publishers TNX has some benefits, because this is an automated system, publishers don’t have to approve every link that appears on their website, but if you don’t want to link to a certain sites you can easily ban that link. Unlike other advertising systems with TNX you sell different ads (links) on every page of the site that may bring more money that the usual ads.

TNX advertisers get to improve their site ranking for certain key words by buying thousands of non-reciprocal links to their site at a very low price.

TNX advertising is based on points, publishers earn more points if they have many page with a high Page Rank, and because not all pages have the same rank the number of points that you receive will not be the same for every page. Also advertisers pay more if they want links from websites with high Page Rank, but with the same amount of points they can buy more links from websites with a lower Page Rank. The points a member accumulates can be sold to other members or sold back to TNX, from the transactions TNX takes a 12.5% commission from all its members, advertiser and webmaster.

If you decide to use TNX you must know that if Google will find that you sell or buy links it will penalize your site.

This system poses some dangers for publishers and advertisers, if an advertiser buys too many links for a new website, Google will figure out that he is buying links and the site will get sandboxed. Publisher will get punished if they have too many links to websites that are not related with their site content, but Google will also punish the advertisers. All do TNX has some filters publisher will get some unrelated links on their site, and advertiser will get links on unrelated pages, this can’t be stopped unless more publisher will join TNX.

If you have decided to use TNX take it slow don’t buy too many links from the start and you will pas under the Google radar.

TNX.net website isn’t indexed by Google because the Googlebot isn’t allowed to crawl the website, so al the rumors that Google banned TNX.net aren’t true.

Google launched Google for Non-Profits Portal that offers tools to non-profit organizations.

The portal is a shop full of free stuff, like Google-hosted email at your own domain, Google Checkout with no transaction fees until 2009, free online advertising through Google Grants and the usual Blogger and Google Docs account.

This program is only for non-profit organizations and to use some of them you need to prove that you are a non-profit and Google Grants are available only in a couple of country’s and even if you live in one of those countries Google will review your application.

AboutUs is a very useful wiki that automatically creates an about page for any websites.

To get listed all that you have to do is to write a website address and a robot will crawl the website. If someone searches for a website that isn’t in their database a robot will quickly gather information about the website, and thumbnail image is taken, additionally they provide external links to Alexa and to a WHOIS domain search.

This website can help you to get a higher Page Rank, and build some backlinks. Because this is a wiki you can edit the page so it can provide more information about your website and for the same reason if someone wants to spam you it can do it very easily.

When I searched FUKBlogger.com the first time my blog wasn’t in their database, a page was build and after 10 minutes I got the “Adult Content” message.

Although my blog doesn’t host any adult content the domain name “FUK” resembles with “fuck”.

I will send them a message to fix this.

PayPal has launched last year a widget, which allows anyone to show a storefront on their blog sidebar, or on any website that allows you to embed a HTML code.

The widget has many useful features:

Storefront display- you can show images of the items that are for sell.

Item navigation- back and forward buttons.

Sold Out message.

Store Closed message for temporarily close stores.

You can change the widget theme and colors; you can show your own logo and store title, also you can add to each product a description, a picture and a price.

The widget is very easy to use, it supports 17 currencies and customers can rate their buying experience and review your storefront.

I will use this widget here in the sidebar, I always wanted to have an online store, I have a couple but this will be special, people will actually buy from me.

Realmee is a website where you can create a page about yourself, something like the White Pages. There are many websites that do the same thing, but the Realmee team will do everything they can so your page gets in the top search results.

Realmee doesn’t use cloaking, linkfarming or anything else that may be considerate “black hat SEO”, you can check in their FAQ. There you can find “we will do anything we can to rank your website high in the search engines”, I searched a bunch of people from their index, those that are on the first page are also in the top search results, but people that are on the rest of the index pages don’t appear very often in the top search results. This may not be their fault, you can’t get all the time in the top search.

In a page you can add information about yourself, your address, phone number, email address, a link to your website (they follow), where do you work. You can also add 10 widgets from other websites, your blog RSS, a video, and some pictures. Right now there aren’t many features but in the future they will add more.

This is a useful website it can help you to increase your page rank, being in the top search results won’t do you harm.

 I will pay close attention to this website, who knows what they will do next.

Amazon launched a video sharing program “Your Video Widget”. You can upload videos on Amazon and add the code to your website, while playing you can show different products.

This program is for blogs and websites, not for watching videos like on YouTube, Amazon doesn’t have a portal for the uploaded videos, but who knows maybe in the future.

The video must not be longer that 10 minutes and larger that 100MB, no two products can appear within 10 seconds of each other, videos that are obscene, or contain violence and nudity are not allowed, you are not allowed to show phone numbers, mail addresses, URLs, prices, or shipping information.

You make money from the referral fees, like before. So you can’t use Amazon to promote your blog, you can use it only to sell stuff. Like any other type of ads this will work beater if you show products that are related with the video content.
