I saw several reviews blaming text link marketplaces, like TLA, TNX.net and others for making sites selling links banned from Google. To be honest, all text link stocks are just tools, which could be used by publisher to find proposals from advertisers and, in some cases, to automate process of selling links.

I hope that the post will make a good introduction to the TNX and give you one more method of monetizing your site selling links. The review is meant for publishers (those selling ad-places).
