Yes, TNX is killer! Absolutely! They must be known that Google has detect their script, but they still use it. They should learn from TLA.

I have to agree, buying links is a BIG no,no. Sooner or later Google will find you and all your work can be gone.

So what have we learnt? Dont buy links, dont buy links, dont buy links. They really could not be more clear about this.

This is true, yuo have to look at it from Google’s point of view. Thier actions affect what people who are trying to game the system do. If they decide to try and stop people getting to the top of Google through link buying, by banning them then these people will just change tactics… buy a load of dodgy links for your competitors and watch them drop, if Google did this it would have a far bigger problem on its hands.
When people think they have been penilised they have not, it is just the juice they got from the paid links dissapears sot hey go back to where they would eb if they haddn’t bought the links, no further back, they have not been penilised, only had their advantage from the paid links removed.

I know you intend well, and thanks for warning. I hope there’s still a chance this co. is good, and I’d perhaps opt for far fewer, but higher quality links.

I’ll look into it more.

I also want to write a tip. I had no idea your other post was a paid review, I felt saddened when I felt it wasn’t disclaimed, especially because I thought all new signups got those free points (something that definitely HAD to be mentioned IMHO). What paid review website do you write those “for”? I wouldn’t want you to be banned from that, too. Review Me, for one, requires a disclosure.

Readers feel they need them, too. Some even prefer affiliate links to be disclosed. (I feel differently personally, but perhaps for the reasons I choose the specific products to post make me feel there’s more innocence in it.)

Just a warning, you’re not on page 1 for those terms anymore. And may I make another personally-opinionated suggestion? Label those top inner links as such, and also provide links to the Google search. When I see links when a blogger discusses search results, that’s what I expect the links to be. I think it’s generally good to know where links go, and I personally like to click on those types of things - whether or not that’s good practice for your PR has nothing to do with this point (and is frankly silly in pure idealism, hehe.)

Thanks for your hard work on all this, btw!

I can’t believe so many people get these text link networks so wrong. If your buying links from any ad network, you will NOT get penalized by Google. How do I know this? Simple. I still use the Text-Link-Ads.com network for my websites and have never been flagged by Google. You see, Google doesn’t flag the websites BUYING links. They penalize the ones SELLING links.

1. It takes 2 days for links to appear on websites they were purchased on.

2. After they appear on those site, it takes month for PR0 links to get indexed in Google.

There is no way google will ban you for having links to your site as your competitor can do the same for you, the key is not to link to banned sites and don’t sell links yourself. So use tnx only as an advertiser
