TNX is a text link advertising agency that has recently launched on the DigitalPoint webmaster forums over at the free text link ads thread. I am a big time enemy of Text Link Ads which is the king of the hill in the link buying market at the moment. Any alternative to them is partly a good thing in my mind. TNX adds a few unique features that set them apart from anyone else.TNX utilizes a point system instead of dollars. For every link you purchase, or for every link you sell on your website, you are awarded with points. These points can be redeemed for cash, or for purchasing link promotion of your own. The credits are confusing at first, but after you get the hang of it they are not so bad. Here is a snippet from their site:

Update: Upon further inspection, the script loads itself from an IFrame, so the links will not pass as much PR, but you can still use this technique to increase website traffic. I had originally checked the google cache to see if the links were saved, but I later found out that Google grabs the most recent code if the cached page requests an iframe.

A great way to build backlinks is from related blogs. The problem that most people run into is the blogs do not have a “Top Commentators” plugin, or do not have search engine friendly blog comments. I have run across a blog search engine that lists only blogs that have dofollow enabled. So far, the list is pretty small, but I feel it has potential and should not be overlooked. The site is called CommentHunt.com.

After the soft launch of my new startup rssHugger earlier this November, I have been receiving ample amounts of feedback from the community. I have finally responded to the popular vote by removing the $10 registration fee associated with signing up. Now if you own a quality blog, and make a blog post/review about rssHugger, you can get your own blog listed in rssHugger for 10 years for free. The same quality standards still apply, and I will still be manually approving blogs, but now you do not have to spend any money to promote your blog. If you do not want to make a blog post about rssHugger, you can opt out by paying a one time fee of $20, which runs down to only $2 per year making rssHugger the biggest bang for your buck in terms of blog advertising and promotion.

This is the eleventh post in The Link Building Cookbook series, showing you all of the hidden techniques of building links to your website or blogs to increase website traffic.

One of my favorite blogs that I subscribe to is Mashable.com. Mashable is the internet’s largest social networking blog, and frequently ranks in the top 10 blogs overall according to Technorati. Unlike most other extremely popular blogs (Techcrunch, Engadget, etc), Mashable receives far less comments on every post. This is an extremely good thing for you though! The main reason Mashable posts get less comments than Techcrunch for example is that Techcrunch usually leaves a post on the homepage for 10-12 hours, while Mashable can crank out 20 to 30 posts per day. So now that you have some background information on one of my favorite blogs, lets get down to business.
