Looking for a formula on what to pay for backlinks

newcity · 12-13-2011, 07:12 PM

I have a website that I have almost pushed to the top of my niche for all high traffic keywords except for the toughest two keywords. I am not contacting webmasters and I have a decent idea on how much PR2-PR6 links are worth with extremely low OBL's. I am looking to see if anyone knows of a good formula or calculator that can give me a ballpark on exactly what I should be spending on high PR low OBL backlinks.

Really glad I joined the forum, thanks for your help in advance!

I don't know if there's any formula/calculator for finding out what price a link is worth. I think the best way is to look at what the market is offering. Start a spreadsheet and go through several high PR services (like in the Buy-Sell-Swap section here in WF) and see how much each is charging for a specific link. Jot it down in your spreadsheet. Then perhaps you can figure out a formula from there, or at least just get general idea of how much certain links are going for.
