Hello,

I have a website which is 10 years old and has PR8. I've put up a technology articles blog over it in past year apart from the actual hit counter business which runs through it.

I plan to sell some blog articles on it with do follow links.

Right now there are no advertising on it.

Let me know how much to ask for paid posts?

Thanks

    There's bunch of services that facilitate this sort of thing, and there's probably something in WF WSOs or link exchange forums too. I'd do some market research on those.

    I'd usually dismiss any claim of PR8 (or equivalent, Google stopped publishing the scores back in 2013), but your story at least seems plausible. That's the kind of site that could have a very high PR for the front page.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    I would say you could charge a few thousand dollars per post if it was a real PR 8.

    As a comparison, a site like ESPN.com is a PR 8, so I highly doubt you own a site that is truly a PR 8.

      Well, that might actually be a legit PR 8. That also might be the first time someone posted here with that sort of post and actually had a site to back it up.

    thanks, so back to the advise, any idea how i can reach prospects who'll be interested to do a paid blog post ( tech related ) and what to ask for?

    Actually this website is like a white elephant, needs a whole server just to maintain considering the type of business, since the services are provided free so there must be something so costs can be recovered.

    Thanks

      • Look at similar quality tech blogs that continuously have external links in their new blog post, some of those outbound links are probably buyers.
      • Be very picky who you allow to have links on your domains & never advertise paid blog post/links on your site.
      • Keep all the outbound links related to the tech niche that way nobody can prove it's a paid link If there's ever a manual review.

      BTW, I see you're capturing emails, have you ever tried monetizing as an affiliate for web hosting with that traffic? I know the traffic already has hosting but I'd at least test & see what happens. That might help recoup some of the server cost.

    You're sitting on a goldmine If you really own that domain.

    My advice is remove the URL from this public forum thread since you're talking about pagerank & money.

    OP, why don't you build a new web hosting affiliate site & use your authority domain to help rank those money pages? That way you can actually target traffic that's looking for web hosting. Web hosting is tech related so there's still relevancy.

    To be honest, i was never much into this PR thing and all, it was a hobby site for many years, since we have so many users we can;t close it. And to keep up the maintenance and cost we need some income source as well.

    Again i don;t have much time to make another site based on affiliate thing since i have no experience on that front too..

    Just like to know ways to monetize this site and some audience that we receive.

      Without knowing the niche,

      you can sell links
      you can sell ads.

      Start by asking yourself what would the visitors be buying... something related to whatever your site is about... Approach site owners that sell that and offer to have their ad on your pages... or a link... For the link, approach big SEO companies too, and tell them you are willing to let them put a link to a site in x nich for $x / month.

      Or, you could become an affiliate for someone and put up your own affiliate links.

      There's a lot of pointlessness and crap in those few words.

      If that's how you do your $5 gig, that's $5 wasted every time someone hires you.

    My main idea is to have a relevant blog post which match with the site content and may be sponsor it.

    What normally site charges for sponsored posts?
