Re: how much to charge for lead generation?

In regards to your original question, I will have to say that it all depends on your lead. I have sold leads for $10 a lead, $2 a lead, and $50 a lead. It all depends on the niche, and what exactly...

I think perhaps the bog blogs have their comments turned off because they don't need them to be authoritative. They are already famous and everyone in those markets knows this.

Re: Disabling the Comments section of a blog post - a sign of low credibility?
