TNX - Take a risk yourself

I've joined TNX.net about 3 months ago, now I decide to share my experienced with TNX.
I have sold text links at my sites and got around 20,000 TNX points. I used these points to buy some pr4 and pr0 text links. I was very excited about the links, the back links that I checked at google was not increase, but the SERPs for my specific keyphrase climb higher and higher. I controled the number of links for them to looks natural, froze the caimpaign when they have enough links.
But one day, I decided to buy more and more links. I used all my 31,000 points to buy about over 150 pr1 to pr2 text links. And after that, within one week, my keyphrase dropped and still dropping.
I think I had a mistake in accepting too many links within short time.
I'm now paying the price for my 4 years SEO efford for my sites. And this is what I'm thinking: When you decide to cheat SE, you will need a perfect plan. I don't know if any webmasters here have won the SE before, but I think it's an extreme fantastic game called "SE cheaters"

 

Did you use the exact same anchor text on all the new links? If you did, it wouldn't have looked natural, and could have caused Google to lower your rankings because of the suspicion.

 

so you mean when you had PR4 links the rank washigh and when you went for PR1 PR2 links your rank dropped

 

I don't think it's tnx or something else. SEO nowadays is becoming more and more like gambling and luck. No one can predict some definite results or tell why something happened to your web site.

 

Well you're not alone. Same thing happened to TNX (they used to rank high for text link ad related phrases); now they're using digitalpoint thread to rank.

 

I would advise against using TNX. I had links for one of my sites. I used many different anchor texts. After an initial increase in SERPS, the SERPS dropped hard. I haven't seen a single visitor to the site in more than 2 weeks.

 

how is that then how can one trust from which site to go for backlinks and for which we do not.

 

I did use same anchor, I'll take a notice about this and do some hardcore SEO for my new ideals.

Yeah, that's exactly what I want to say. There's something new about my sites: The keywords are still dropping and the visitors are getting poorer and poorer.

Which you trust, google will trust (In my opinion)

 

Personally I don't like the idea that google must decide what is right or wrong. It's the public opinion that must do that. I give my vote to social networks...
