Many popular websites and blogs have been hit with Pagerank decreases in the last days. Most went down two points (some even three) from one day to the other. The Pagerank drop does not seem to have an influence on other factors like website traffic or Adsense. It does seem pretty random though, some websites get hit, others that do the same do not get hit at all.
A second look at TNX
I recently discovered TNX which is a web service similar to Text Link Ads. TNX is a link broker selling links on every single page of your website or blog if their script is installed on those sites. Users get paid in points for links which can be anywhere from 1 point to a several thousand depending on the Pagerank and the backlinks of the website the links are placed on.
Are you selling links ? Watch your Pagerank !
What has been a rumor for some months seems to have become reality in the last weeks. Google is starting to punish websites that are selling links by dropping the sites Pagerank. Danny Sullivan noticed a huge Pagerank drop from 9 to 7 on the Stanford Daily website which happened to sell links since 2005.
Monetize your website with TNX ads
I heavily rely on Everton from Connected Internet who sends me new interesting ways to monetize my sites from time to time. Today he was sending me a link and a short description of TNX which basically sells links on your website. Unlike other sites that sell links the links from TNX are sold on a per page basis. Every sold page earns the user points which can be either exchanged into cash or used to buy links as well.
Money Makers: Text Link Ads
This is the second article in my Money Makers series. The first took a look at the Tribalfusion CPM network which could only be joined if the website met some requirements like 2000 daily unique visitors. This time I’m going to concentrate on text link ads and especially on the company with the same name. They are a text link broker that sell links on your site to advertisers who in return pay you and text-link-ads for this link.
