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.

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.

Scratchback is basically an advertising system, they call it tipping jar to stay way from the Evil Google. They use the “nofollow” tag on all the links and images so you will not pass Page Rank.

This advertising system is special because peoples can tip you and can get a link to their website. However, the widget owner has no obligation to show any link on his website, this is what makes Scratchback different from other advertising systems. Therefore, if a one of your visitors decides to “tip” your blog, and you do not like the link, you have no obligation to show that link and you keep the money, there is no refund because this is a tipping jar not advertising company.

The link can be text or an image it is your choice what you show on your blog, also it shows a custom message on mouse over, you can show only one widget per page but you can show any number of widgets on your website.

The payout limit is $25 and they pay through PayPal, from every tip they take a 10% fee, this fee is set for the beta trail, at the end of the trail, they will change the commission.

The Scratchback widget can be customized, there are a couple of designs from which you can chose, but if don’t like them you can create your own widget that must be approved by the Scratchback team or you can pay a one-time fee of $50 to get the Scratchback team to create the widget for you.

The Scratchback system is a good combination between a donation and an advertising system, although I don’t like any of their widget designs, this seems a good advertising system.

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.

Wikia Search is a future open source search engine.

At this moment this website is junk, if you search google first result is the google.com, the second result is a website that is for sell but has a page that redirects to google.com, the third result is a webpage that has nothing to do with google, and there are two results “google.it” and “ww.google.it”.

Because it’s a new search engine the quality of the search results are low, this website was launched a month ago, they expected to improve the quality of the results and this never happened or at least they didn’t do any big improvement.

The only thing that users can do is to create their own profile and to “help with the miniarticles”, miniarticles appear at the top of search terms, these articles can contain short definitions, disambiguation’s and photos.

You can create miniarticles for search terms that don’t have them or for those that have you can edit them. But there is a problem:

“Miniarticles are for helping people. Not for spam or personal blogs. Please add only the canonical site(s) for this topic.

Do not spam. If you spam you will be blocked and your website blacklisted.

For a long time. You will be sad.

Do not spam. We do not want you to be sad. Do something useful. You will be happy.

(To be safe please do not add links to websites ”

Canonical site “A canonical site is a website which contains extensive authoritative information about a subject. Generally, extensive links to external sites are discouraged in mini articles; however, links to canonical sites are appropriate.”

At first they are saying help us, then don’t do anything or you will get banned, then again they want your help but you shouldn’t do too much.

You can create a miniarticle for your blog if it isn’t a personal blog. I have created a miniarticle for my blog because this isn’t personal blog, by creating that miniarticle I am helping the people that are searching my blog and can’t find it, I provided information about my blog and a link to the blog. My blog is a canonical site because I am the only one that provides information about this subject.

So if want to write a miniarticle be careful, and anyway what you write in the miniarticles doesn’t help the search engine.

Another feature that this search engine has is a star rating system at this moment it doesn’t work, is only for show.

The only thing that you can do with this website is to harm others, by creating miniarticles with spam you can get the competitors website banned, when the star rating will work a large group of users could influence the search results for a search term in a majors way, they will rate with one star the most relevant website and will rate with five stars the most irrelevant website, something like a google bomb. The miniarticles will be used to discredited website, services and not only.

Another inevitable thing that will happen is miniarticle spamming, they can’t stop people from spamming because people are allowed to edit the articles, and because they can spam people will do it. Who will verify millions of miniarticles? The users but not many will do it, who will take the time to edit every single one.

A search engine is more dynamical that an encyclopedia and because users can interfere this search engine is a magnet for spam.
