Chacha is a mobile service that is trying to enter the competitive market of mobile search. Mobile search is currently thought of as an online product, so Google or Yahoo search for example, but mobile search can also mean that you get the answers without having to go online. How does that work? Well in the case of Chacha all you have to do is send them a text message with a question and they response seconds later with the answer.
Simply text your question to 242242™ (spells ‘ChaCha’) or call 1-800-2ChaCha™ (800-224-2242) from your mobile phone to ask any question and you will receive the answer as a text message. If you have a web browser on your phone, just click on the short website link that’s also included with your answer to see a reference website with more information. Since ChaCha uses human guides, you can easily reply with follow-on questions as if you are exchanging messages with a friend.
TNX is a text sales marketplace, but as I have found out, it is also a whole lot more. The site itself and services are very similar to Text-Link-Ads, but with so many more features and opportunities to make your site a lot more profitable.
The TNX system is based upon a points system, where more points are required to purchase links on pages. One text link can be purchased for as little as 1 point, with 1000 points available for just over a dollar. TNX currently has over 46000 members and they have sold over 25 million links.
The main advantage for a publishers within the system is the option onnot only selling text links on your home page, but also selling them individually on each page, this making your potential profit a lot higher. Additionally, publishers can also manually accept or deny advertisers through the platform, allowing a lot more control over inventory and keep relevance within their pages. As we all know Google dont like the companies or publishers who sell text links, thus publisher control their relevance and also advertisers can use a special tool from TNX to make all text links Google acceptable.
Finally, TNX have a great Partner (affiliate) program which allows publishers to place banners on their sites and make 13.3% TNX points made by their referrals. These points can quickly add up and will allow you to place a great deal more text links throughout the sector.
TNX is on the rise and is by far the best Text marketplace out there. Make sure you head over and give it a try today.
I have been reading around the blogosphere today and there seems to be a buzz around Google and if they are dropping PageRankings due to sites selling Text Link Ads. Google has admited to SearchEngineLand that if sites sell text links then their page rankings might drop. I have noticed that a few month ago Crenk was a PR4 and now since i have added Text Link Ads it has dropped to a PR1, for no real reason. Who else has been seeing a drop in traffic and or page rank?
