I’m Buying Links
If you work at Google, please stop reading this post.
I’ve started buying some links for one of my sites (not this one!). I started using TNX and I’ve been pretty happy with the results. I looked at some other link buying platforms, but the problem is that they expose the sites that are participating. With Google supposedly cracking down on paid links that business model just doesn’t work anymore.
It was pretty easy to get started with TNX: I signed up and created a campaign to advertise one of my gray hat sites. It then took a couple days (I think) for them to approve the site. I didn’t get notified, but the next time I logged in it was approved. I wish they had sent me an email or smoke signal or something to let me know.
I also tried to sell links on one of my black hat sites, but that site wasn’t approved. Trust me when I say that this is a good thing for TNX. Had they approved that site I would have questioned buying links from them. I do think they allow you to buy links TO your BH sites, but they don’t allow you to sell links FROM them.
Once my site was approved I added $50 to my account and started creating “orders” which is how they fulfill your link requests. Each order is a combination of PR, number of Yahoo backlinks, category, and language. I think the ability to specify PR, Yahoo backlinks, and language is HUGE. PR has become the de facto method of measuring a link’s worth, but we all know it isn’t effective. Adding the number of backlinks at Yahoo gives another data point that can help you decide if a link is worth it or not.
Just as an example, one of my orders is for sites that have a PR2, with at 500-5000 Yahoo backlinks, in the E-commerce niche, with english as the primary language. There are 4000+ combinations of orders and the TNX system encourages you to create at least 50 of them to make sure you get all links you order.

Thanks for the great post. I have been a client of TNX since September 2007 and since then couple of my websites have gone way up in search engine results for as little as $50 a month.
TNX is amazing system to promote your websites with!
I tried using every other system on the market, but never achieved any goals =(
I have already told all my friends about TNX.
Have you seen many show in Yahoo yet? I signed up about a month ago and still don’t see any. The links look legit and TNX really does make this whole process as easy as anything but I’m a little skeptic now.
I tried to buy links for my BH sites and they got disapproved for lack of revelency with the website. (thats my BH site)
