Here I am describing my plan-

It is a daily based plan (Monday to Friday)

I will write 2-3 high quality 500 words articles with the proper keywords placement

And then I will post these 2-3 articles to top 10 high PR web 2.0 blog sites such as wordpress, blogger,livejournal, hubspage etc with anchor text variations and I will use "call to action" words to make it completely natural. I am not using any spun content...I am only using original content here (2-3 original articles)

I will use pictures and relevant videos in order to make your blog very natural.
And then again I will write a new articles next day and do the same thing but I will create different account to avoid any kind of footprint ...

I will use social bookmarking sites for indexing and at the end of the week; I will send you the complete report with user id and passwords so that you can use it or update it whenever you feel like.


Basically it is a monthly service and you will get total 200 high quality, handmade natural ,very effective web 2.0 backlinks from me.I am offering this monthly service for only $200 ...monthly service

Now my question is - Am I Charging The Right Price For This Service? If I am asking over or under price for my service that I am offering then let me know...

    I guess my question is are your process based on your work, or the value? For example, if you are working on a project for an easy keyword...then it may only take a few articles to help rank it.

    On the other hand, what if the keyword is difficult and your need more articles?

      I think, it will take more times and efforts, I have to use more articles, more social bookmarking and if necessary then I have to use wikis also ....but I personally think I can understand the progress within 10 -12 days ...what is your opinion?

        The answer you get will depend on who's posting it.

        What might be worth $200 a month to you, may not be worth it to other people.

        If it was me doing all that, I'd be charging a lot more than 200 a month tho..

        We (my wife & I) usually charge anywhere from $150-$200 for 5k words.

        That includes the research, writing, proofreading, etc.

        So yea.. its up to you, only you know just how much work its going to take. Don't be afraid to charge what you're worth tho.

    I think you might get more business if you meter your pricing, case in point I usually don't need 200 of those kind of links but 10-20 yes for me to build pyramids upon sure.

    Just my opinion though.. who knows what it is worth, I don't

      Thanks for your wonderful advice ...and it is really worth for me..then again come to the question- what could be the fair cost for 10-15 web 2.0 links?

        I have the same problem, with pricing these type of services. Just ask yourself would you pay for those services at that price. Also take into account can you live off of that price.

    Personally, when I am buying something like that, I could care less about the time it takes you to do the work. I care about the ROI.

    I would say based on the potential ROI for those type of links, I wouldn't pay more than $15-20/month for that kind of service.

        I strongly agree with you when I am making 3 high quality 500 words articles with proper keyword placement and creating manual web 2.0 with pictures and relevant web 2.0, charging $5 would be a heart breaking deal for me

        Spin or no spin; manual or automated ....it's same low quality, junk link ...hence the appropriate price is $5.

            You know what you can better do? Offer a service that involves:

            - posting at niche relevant forums with link of course
            - making useful blog comments at niche relevant blogs
            - guest posting service (write an article - email webmasters to offer it to them)

            Nobody is offering that type of service and I've been searching for such person for quiet some time.

            The problem is that most people SAY they offer it, but in fact they just spam around on non-relevant sites with all kinds of software.

            Think about it and send me your prices!

            I'm especially interested in guest posting.

            ps forget about web2.0's there is no good money in it, most people just want auto created spam cause then they get MORE links.

              yes, it could be a very effective way to get some relevant link ..

    Have you tested your price point? Put it out there and see what people say? If you can sell it for $200 that's great. But will people be happy with your service after paying $200? That's the question you have to ask.

    If people aren't happy they will stop buying and they will tell people why they stopped buying and what your services are really worth. I personally think it's better to start low and as you fill up your time and can't take more clients. Charge more.

    There are better offers on the forum and else where for $200.

    To make matters worst you have no reputation and what you are providing is not the rare type of commodity so it won't sell.

    No harm in trying.. But ensure you get an idea of what price to settle for before moving ahead.

        There really is not anything high quality about it. They are PR 0 backlinks. On top of that, you said you are submitting to 10 Web 2.0 sites. So basically it is 20 links off each Web 2.0 site.

        Those links are not going to rank anyone for a keyword with the least bit of competition.

        They would be better off taking the $200, buying a PR 4 and a year's worth of hosting and building one link off the PR 4.

          yes, so you are saying there won't be any improvement! well...but a lot of people are using the same method..but buying a PR4 hosting would be a expensive venture for me to start with

            Depending how many articles you are creating and the quality of them, you could charge anywhere from a few bucks an article to $20+ an article. Really depends on the quality of the writing.

            The whole web 2.0 thing is not worth anywhere near $200 though.

                        Oh so each Web 2.0 site only has 1 article posted.

                        You are writing 3 articles total, so yeah, like I said at the beginning, probably around $20, unless this is some real world-class writing. Then maybe a little more.

                        Definitely will not boost rankings though, so I wouldn't advertise it as such.

                          Kind of my thought with stuff like this, if I am going to use this kind of link it is merely for building a pyramid but as an individual link there isn't much value coming from it alone.

    2 unique articles in total and posting it on 10 web2.0's (that means 1 unique article for each 5 web2.0's). I would say $25,- worth.

    $10 for the content and $1.50 per web2.0 to create with image/video

    Maybe $35,- in total in case of real good content.

      Okay let me get this straight. $10 for 2 articles and $1.5 for posting in web 2.0's/each. that could be done in few hours, not a biggy!! and as i calculate its more than double of what i earn in a day. tell me where should i sign up for these kind of services.

        I don't pay that kind of money cause I have my own VA team, but I think for the end client it's not such bad of a price.

        I pay $4 per article, makes $8,-
        I pay $0.70 per web2.0 creation makes = $7,-

        Total $15,- so nothing wrong with selling it for $25,-

          I can make it $20 and if I see my clients are happy then i will make it $25 ....well, I will use wiki backlinks to the web 2.0 so that client can get more link juice

          no no i didn't say its wrong. its good until its beneficial. and by the way i see it, its highly beneficial. actually i might consider selling a service similar to this. i should dig deeper and see how much i could get and where i can find people ready to spend some cash.

              i have been doing a lot of researches on it and I have found it to be effective enough till you are using original content and manual submission and social bookmarking.... most of the people use spun content and it does't help actually..you can do blog commenting, wiki backlinks, social bookmarking ...

              I think it would be more effective if someone do it on a regular basis

            For people to spend good cash you must have something to offer and I don't think just building a set of web2.0 will do that. You need to come up with something unique or willing to invest some money.

            Few months ago I find a large client and start to build a network of high PR sites exclusively for them, it gets appreciated and it takes care of repeat business

            Last week I find another large client, but this time one with few clients that are after tougher keywords then usual. I open my wallet and spend $6k+ to start a highly exclusive network of pr5 / pr6 domains to make sure that we can rank those clients.

            So it's all about being flexible, I remember many times where I asked people to come up with custom solutions, most of the time nothing was possible, this is what we have and that's what you can get was the answer, so to succeed you need to think out of the box. Once you do that the opportunities will follow automatically.

            Somehow people have a hard time understanding that, look at the WSO section and see for yourself, most are still offering the same crap that they sold 3 years ago and they don't plan to change anything. When they switch it will be the new version of Senukex or they'll throw in some extra tiers of links. You can't win the war with being dependent on new shiploads of noobs.

              You are absolutely true but what my problem is- I am a novice here but a quick learner and hard-working and right now I cannot invest a huge amount of cash to do something big.

              I have no choice but to prefer something that I can do manually and without any investment. Once I have some good reputation as well as cash, I am ready to do something off-bit...

              I hope you are getting my point

    and if you charge high you will get less customers and it will be difficult to satisfy them if they didn't get the expected results.
