TNX.NET – New Text Link Service Site
By · Comments
I am sure many of webmasters heard about TNX.net. They are new text link service provider similar to text-link-ads.com but their business approach is little different. Acutually, TNX approach is adding lots of low PR links instead of buying one or two High PR like other Text Link Brokers do. At first, it is kinda confuse but after browse around little bit, their concept is pretty unique.
They are running promotions that you will get free 20,000 points(basic price is $1.46 per 1000 so it is like free $30 or 5000 PR0 backlinks).
I am trying TNX with one of my site which has 237,015 backlinks and is ranked 13th on Keyword I am targeting. My TNX Campaign got approved and already used up all 20,000 points and stat said 107 links active. I choose PR0-PR7, that is why 107 links instead of 5000 PR0 links. PR7 Links usually goes for 20000-60000 points but Quality of the link? I don;t know yet.
I will post my TNX experience with week or so with result.
Is this safe with Google? Well, Google is really go after buying and selling links so there is some risk. All you can do is buy or sell link with very similar topic. TNX said Matt actually manually remove from Google PR and SERP. TNX is rejecting googlebot as revenge(?).. So what is the difference between selling text links and put contextual ads? I know Google policy said You can not build web site just for PR, SERP, etc but it is penalizing many good sites are not right.
Anyway, Try TNX.net to buy or sell some links if you have lot of low PR which you can not sell anything on other Text Link Brokers.
Get Indexed in G within 24 Hours
By · CommentsI found this great tools, yes it is free, you can submit your new site and get indexed within 24 hours in Big G. I tried my new site it worked like charm. I waited about 10days but not getting indexed even I bought huge blog posts with link in it. After I used this Quick Index tool he created, site got indexed within 24 hours..just amazing. Do no abuse his script, server, and don’t forget to donate some $ if you are satisfy his script.
How Does It Work?
It does a few extremely secretive techniques which I am yet to dispell on this site, but for the most part I am happy to share.1) Submits your site to 6 major social bookmarking sites. The only two its missing at the current moment is Yahoo and Del.icio.us because the server BlueHat is on is my “I don’t care, public†server and doesn’t have all the secure socket mods I need to include them. Not only does it submit your sites to the social bookmarking sites but it submits them several times through several different accounts. This instantly makes your site one of the most popular on the network which gives you extra linking power. Right now I have it limited to 2-5 accounts/social bookmarking site but I may up it if this tool generates a few kind donations.
2) Googlebot Slam- This combines the Blue Hat Technique #7 (which has become less effective over the months) with a very secretive technique that most people thought was impossible and I never plan on sharing. The concept is basically the same though. The best way to describe the technique is that it remotely tricks Googlebot into thinking that your site has fresh content and that it needs to rush over and check it out.
3) Global Ping- The script performs a multithreaded ping to all the major and minor blog ping sites. This has been proven to work well with getting your site indexed. Granted it has also become less effective over the last year, but when you combine it with the rest of the techniques this script utilizes it works very well.
4) Various others- about four other techniques that I will probably never mention until I am ready to retire them out to the community. BTW. For those of you who are curious, the script never actually pulls your site or anything of that nature, so you don’t have to waste your time trying to find something in your logs that will give away these secrets. Sorry, theres just some stuff I have to keep to myself
Until then enjoy being able to use them.

Do you know American Express Gold Small Business card gives back 5% from Yahoo Marketing Solutions? I am spending around $3,000 per month at Yahoo and I am paying with American Express Card which covers one of my server fee. If you are using $10k per month, that is $500 back to your account. Also, American Express rewards point program is great. I always using it for Airfare. For first year, I think you could get free airline ticket using bonus points. All super affiliates are using Amercian Express Cards, so you should build good relationship with American Express. For long run, it will be a big help later on. I know someone has $1million buying power any given month from American Express Card which you can buy any Business or You could use it when you see big Chance.
If you don’t have one, you could apply here.
Well, I knew it is coming soon or later..I got an email today from Adsense.
Hello,
While reviewing your network of sites participating in the AdSense
program, our specialists found that many of the sites are not in
compliance with Google’s webmaster quality guidelines.All AdSense publishers are required to adhere to these guidelines, as
per AdSense Program Policies.As a result of these violations, your AdSense account has been
disabled. You will receive payment for outstanding earnings, but we’re
no longer able to partner with you or your network of sites.Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
I think someone who is in lowend job doesn’t like me since last 2 weeks..They send me an email about my sites(auto feed Blog and auto feed Video site) which is not good enough for adsense. At least I used custom templates, no spamming, and I see many sites worst than mine..heck..
Google is cutting affiliate program payouts, changed adsense format so their revenue is down(plentyoffish.com said after new adsense, their earning went down to 60%) meaning Google is feeling growing pain now..
I am depressing kinda because it was my main source of income, I am still learning about PPC..now I need to work fast so I could pay my mortgages. Shit, it is not end of the world but my $6k-$4k monthly income is gone..it is pain..I might apply as a LLC again but need to plan to create new income stream.
Again, John Chow is running Great Contest. He is giving out one full Affiliate Summit ticket($1449). and I should win and hang out with John chow. Why? Here is why.
1. I really want to meet John because I follow his site since Techzone era and I really want to meet you in person. Also love to attend your session to learn something from the master.
2. I can’t afford ticket now because one merchants owes me $5k. They changed from CJ to Linkshare last Dec. They haven’t paid CJ yet which owes me around $1600 and Last week, they terminate my relationship from Linkshare after $3400 commission from Dec and 2nd week of Jan. 2008. Now, they do not reply my email or explain what is the situation. My Money is just there but not getting paid. I need to learn, need to speak to merchants and vendors at Affiliate Summits how to solve this kind of situation. If they are at Affiliate Summit, then it will be better.
3. I need more lesson to bring my skills to next level so I could be a full time web marketer, webmaster, and blogger. I always wanted to be like you John. I had copycat Techzone back in 2000 which never took off but I did lots of overclocking back in those days. I can not do 2-3hours commute everyday to my full time job anymore(it’s been more than 10 years now). John, Help me..This event can be a life saver(maybe not but there is chance).
Drinks on me John.
New York Giants going to Super Bowl XLII
By · Comments
I was watching football this afternoon. I am a NY Giants fan and I am really happy to see them to win over Packers. It was just amazing game and I had great time..
Great time to buy or sell some Giants stuff before Super Bowl? I am sure there is many savvy affiliate marketers are ready for Super Bowl items. Anyway, GO GIANTS!!!
I have several auto feed blogs because I do not have time or resources for these domains yet therefore, I setup as a Blog with AutoFeed Blog plug in. Yesterday, I got several emails from Adsense saying that they will not show any ads on my blogs because they saying my autofeed blog is not meet their rules & policies. And I found out several sites are now not in big G SERP.
Once more, do not build site for Money.
