$2 per high PR inner page do follow backlink - is this reasonable?

[Scott Kennedy]

Hey guys,

A friend of mine recently acquired a few sites which have high PR (4-6) inner pages which allow dofollow links. He's thinking of charging people $2 per backlink if they wish to get some of his link juice. Knowing that I'm in the IM-ish arena he asked me if this was a good price but I have absolutely no idea.

So is $2 per high PR inner page dofollow backlink worth it?

Depends what type of links they are. You say they are do follow, thats good. I don't think you would get people paying for no folow links.

It also depends how long the links last how many are on the page and if they are in quality unique context. If it is just a big list of unrelated links they are worth alot less than 1 link near the top of good quality relavent content.

But $2 seems reasonable to me. You could get alot more per link doing as above but you could get alot more links paying $2 each. Up to yopur friend I suppose.

The bottom line is a link is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Hmm I'll have to talk to him about that. I'm assuming he means the links will be in the form of a blog comment (assuming because he only bought blogs). I probably should have got more info before asking.

I think you would be hard pushed to get people to pay to comment on a blog. If you were to sell links in the blog posts themselves and they were relavent, unique, quality posts then you could probably charge more.

Depends on a couple of things. First there is a big difference in what people will pay for a PR6 link and a PR4.

Second how many obls are there going to be.

How long will the links last?



Will they be part of related content or just a bare link?

Even if they are comments there is a difference. Will my link be the username or can I make a nice long comment and bury my link there?

Lots of factors before you can come up with a price.

Possibly but if I could bury my link in a nice comment I would easily pay $2 for PR6 comment link on a page with low enough obls.

Not How I would monetize it myself because once you sell the links that way there is no more income.

Its WAAAAY too low if thats a yearly price. You will pay $30-$50 for a PR4 link on many sites. I know people paying $20 for PR2s. However forget blog comments. Just because it is a blog does not mean you can only give blog comments and buyers do not want blog comments if they are buying links.
