A couple of months back I’ve made a list about which advertisement programs I would like to test out in the future. Well today it’s time to take TNX.net for a spin.

Before I continue, there are a few requirements your site needs to have. Without it it’s very unlikely to get approved.

• Preferable to have at least a PageRank 1
• Preferred are second level domains (.com, .net, ..) with paid hosting
• Site must be at least 6 months old
• Site must contain minimum 30 pages
• presence in a major catalogue, DMOZ preferred
• PHP is a MUST

Just earlier today I’ve created myself a login, password and I’ve added this site to their listings so they can review it and approved it.

After this there’s a bit of code you’ll have to insert into your site. Remember that this code requires PHP to be executed.
There’re 2 possibilities, either Static Code or Static code that’s cached on your server side.

When this is done, you’ll have to wait a bit so your pages will be indexed by TNX. After this you’re ready to sell links on your site.

How does this work?
If the system code is placed on your website, all the links that are purchased by advertisers will be automatically displayed on all pages that have the code included. If a link is sold to one of their advertisers, you will get paid for it. So the more pages you’ll have on your site, the more links you could sell. The price of the link is based on the page’s search ngine rating. Links are sold automatically, so you don’t have to do anything.
If you sell some links, you’ll earn some TNX points.
With these points, you can use them to buy advertisement yourself, or you can sell them to another TNX member that is willing to pay for it.

So far the webmasters part of TNX. Now we’re going to take a look at the Advertisers part.

As talked about above, you’ll get some TNX points for every link that’s sold on your page. In the advertisers area you can use these points to buy links to your site from other sites.
Simply create a campaign by giving it a name, choose appropriate categories where you want your link to appear. You can also geo-target your links to a few specific languages, of course English, but also Spanish, French, Italian and a few other. Another thing you can specify is the sites where you will be publishing on. You can choose to only advertise on sites with more than 5000 backlinks from Yahoo, or a combination.

Also the ‘quality’ of the advertisement links can be specified. You can exclude sites that for example have a PageRank less than 2.

The next step is to create your link, and set the importance.
In the last step you can specify exactly how much backlinks you would like to get from sites with the pagerank you’ve selected earlier.

It’s that easy. The last thing I would like to talk about is their referral program.
If you got excepted into TNX, you can also earn some extra with affiliates. Whenever you refer another webmaster, you’ll get 13,3% off all TNX points that are generated by your referral. And in addition you’ll receive 5% of all payments made by a referred advertiser.

On the following link you’ll find some ways to get yourself some free linksthanks to their special offer.

Anyone of you already uses TNX? What’s your experience with it? I love to here them.

Ok, I got your attention didn’t I?

Now you want to know how I did it?

Well very easy, I subscribed to AdToll.

AdToll is a fairly new Ad network from Australia and I’ve looked at some other blogs posts first before subscribing myself.
So If you’re tired of AdSense, give AdToll a go. You can choose between different ad spaces, from a 468x60 top banner to a 320x250 Video ad. And they’ve introduced the peel away ad. Just like flipping a page in a book, very cool. But I think this is only usefull for those blogs or sites who are using the full width of a screen. On the AdToll homepage you can see a preview, but I overlooked it the first time, and that’s because the theme AdToll is using focusses your eyes to the center of the screen.

Another good thing you can do at AdToll is set your own price per week. But they recommend to set it to automatic. This you should review after a couple of weeks, if you see your spots are getting filled up easy or not.

So as from yesterday AdToll ads will be displayed on the Million Dollar Challenge.
After dumping AdGridWork late January, I found myself a new possible moneymaker to play with.

At the end of this post you can see a little preview of how the AdToll video ad could look like.
Wish me luck and don’t forget to subscribe to AdToll, as they currently offer every subscriber $20 just to sign up. Easy as that!

In just a few weeks time its Christmas once again. And a week later we all will celebrate 2008, a New Year. I can’t believe how time flies by.
This year I have to work during this period, but to compensate I’m taking 3 weeks off in July or August 2008 and go on a well deserved Holiday.

Because I’ve never been to America before, I’m thinking to go there next year. If I go to America I really would like to visit Disney World, so I’m looking to stay somewhere in the neighbourhood of Orlando.
While surfing I stumbled upon Destin vacation rentals.

Here you can search for properties that are put up for rent. They’re specialized in properties from Florida and Cape Cod.
Properties in Florida they’ll rent are, luxury villas in Naples, beach houses in Destin, and condos in Sarasota.
I must say they have a lot of properties up for rent and this will make it very hard for me to make a decision if it comes this far.
For those of you who are having a house in the region of Florida or Cape Cod, you can also rent your house via them.

And if you surf to their home page, you can also see that they have a $1000 prize contest if you participate in their Summer Photo contest.
Theme of the photo needs to be: “What scene best captures the spirit of your vacation?”

Let’s get that photo camera ready!

Half an hour a go the 2007 F1 Season ended with a winner nobody thought still could win.
Kimi Raikkonen claimed the 2007 F1 World Championship just in front of the unfortunate Luis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
As the race started, Hamilton made a little error when trying to overtake his teammate Alonso claimed the third place from Hamilton.
Hamilton who just had to made sure he finished at least on the 5th place to win the championship was a little nervous it seemed.
Just a lap later he made a 2nd mistake that almost cost him the race by just not going of track. A bit later his McLaren was very slow by an technical error but he stayed calm and corrected the error to continue the race.
Although he did fallback to the 18th place he made a comeback to place number 7 by overtaking car after car. Especially how he passed by Barichello was showing his driving skills.
I surely hoped that Kubica and Rosberg got into a small accident at the time they’re were fighting for the 4th place, so Hamilton still could end on his needed 5th place, but unfortunately for him they didn’t.

The Iceman Raikonnen gained the lead by overtaking his teammate Massa after a pitstop to make sure people wouldn’t talk about team orders
But he surely did deserve to win the World Title, after all he won the most races this season.

A remarkable entrance was the return of a Nakajima into the Formula 1. 20 years after his father Saturo raced a F1 car, Kazuki made his debut. He finished on the 10th place and almost sended one of his team-members for plastic surgery in Miami. When he went in for a pitstop he came in a little to hard and started to slide the last few meters, hitting in to 2 people of his team.

After a Thriller season, Hamilton, Alonso or Raikonnen all did deserve the World Title, but it was the surprising Hamilton that went home with the Trophy.
Really too bad for Hamilton, but he will have the Rookie of the Year debut for a long long time I think.

Being from Europe, Belgium to be exact, we convert every Dollar to our own Euro currency. At the moment 1 Euro is worth 1,4207 Dollar. In 2002 when the Euro was introduced it was cheaper then the Dollar. But after a while the Euro rate gradually rise against the Dollar. For the Europeans who’re visiting Amerika, it’s a very good thins, because they can get a lot further for the same money. To Europeans it’s cheaper to buy stuff from Amerika.
Downside of this all is that the European Companies who’re selling stuff in Amerika are actually making less money.
So at the moment if I earn 50$ with my blog, I’m actually earning about 35€.
But I’m not complaining , today I’ve ordered some clothes via some sites in the USA. It will cost me 400$ for the clothes itself and for shipment to Belgium. But if I should buy the same clothes here I’ll have to pay 180$ more. I’m expecting them to arrive next Friday.

Another thing I’ve did today was reading George Jr. articles, an article from Patrick Altoft. The article is about the Lindemann family in Florida, one of the richest families of the world. Sure check it out.

Also we (me, my girlfriend and my lovely daughter) went to visit a cousin of my gf. He became father of a little baby-girl a few months back, but until today we didn’t got the time to visit them and when we got time he or is wife didn’t got the time . It’s unbelievable how little babies are. My daughter becomes 2 in January and she looked so big today, I totally couldn’t believe she was that little to once.
Now only hope my girlfriend didn’t got the baby fever again
