Has TNX.net been penalised by google?

So I have been noticing comments and posts about google not liking Purchased links. ALthough still seen no real proof or this.

Today I looked at TNX.net and in my google toolbar they had a PR of 0. Is this part of the whole google dont like paid links or not?

Is there any firm evidence that paid links will effect your rankings? if so has anyone got any suggestions or comments on safe ways of buying links

No real proof? Just see how many people lost their PR and what happened to TLA

 

http://www.tnx.net/robots.txt

They removed their web pages from the Google index.

 

I've only used TNX on four of my 72 sites so far and TNX turned sites that used to make $5-$10 per month in Adsense into sites making $50+ per month with TNX.

I don't give a rip what Google thinks. If webmasters waste their time trying to keep one step ahead of Google, you'll never make any money..

 

looks like G does not like competition!!

 

That is one mad robots.txt file!!

 

very Entrepreneur thinking this kind of thinking we must have in our head, dont let anyone suppress wht we build with our own sweat and tears, google no right to put down our site and our life!!

 

i think they dont care google cache or pr

 

There is a big world beyond Google Pagerank.

 

Why would they do that

 

Because it's technically a paid link service which is against the Google webmaster guidelines.

Yes, I think that is definitely a retaliatory action by Google.

 

google does not penalize sites that buy links onyl sites that sell them. if google find out your site is selling links it will drop in pr and serps severly! you cant get in trouble with buying links or ads. if so i would just buy a bunch of links for my competitors sites instead of mine!

 

Your are right, but dont forget about "too many links at once" filter

 

Interesting are you stilling using TNX?

 

By hurting the seller it also hurts the buyer so they kill two birds with one stone.

 

hmm very good point

 

so it mean if I have a page rank 2 with google and I use TNX I am selling links ( mean they put a link on my web site) will google penealize me? ban me? will they remove me from index?

 

if you sell links you must use a nofollow attribute in your <a> tag or else google will penalize you, it will think that instead of regular advertising you are passing artificial pagerank and trying to manipulate the search engine results. but i heard that TNX is a script and now a link directly so i think you will be ok when google crawls your site.

 

If you going to selling links 100% will panelized by Google, and TNX is well known.
