Sorry if that title is general, or if this is the wrong place. I searched for an answer for this...read for an hour and a half, bought a WSO :rolleyes: and now have to get on with it.

I have an SEO client and was looking at his competitions links...clearly, they are buying them.

I want in on this game, as I've never tried, but think it could be very helpful, especially if done on a site by site basis.

My questions are;

1. What's the pricing structure? As in, does it vary by pagerank, what page it's on, if it's in-text, if i provide the content etc...I understand thats a lot of factors, but hopefully I can get some general guidelines.

2. How can I suss out bad sites? Are there ones I should stay away from? How can you tell?

Thats all for now...if there's anything else I'll ask, but the rest seems straightforward, though any addtional insight is appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron

    Higher the PR the more you pay... Index pages are worth more too... a High PR (5+) index page will be worth the most.

    You can go out find find sites and ask for a link yourself... or use a link broker.

    I don't like sites that do not limit the amount of links they will sell per page. I also don't like placing my trust in a link broker.

    Contact the sites your competitor is buying links from and see what they are charging. If you do find a site you like make sure to be prepared to pay for at least 3-6 months worth to see the true value of the link. Also ask for a discount when paying in 3/6 month increments.

    Also ALWAYS make sure the PR of the domain is true before buying a link. You can do this by searching "info:www.domainyouwantlinkfrom.com" and if the first result is the same domain you searched than the PR is real more than likely.

    And thats it in a nutshell.

    thanks for the replies.

    I would like to stay away from brokers...I don't see what value a middle man would add. I just don't know what a fair price is, and don't want to get hosed.

    I guess it's just one of those try and see things.

      Do your research by asking a bunch of sites that sell links. That will give you an idea of basic pricing... I often like to approach small developer sites that have gained high PR who have no idea about PR or selling links. I get some amazing deals from these people and I control how much I'M willing to pay them

        According to me there is eight ways to buy the links that are as follows :
        - Event Sponsorhips
        - Charitable Donations
        - Website Purchases
        - Content Acquisition
        - Advertising to Viral Traffic
        - Blogger Product Reviews
        - Content Partnerships
        - Blog Incubation

    One of the best ways to get links is to write a unique article and pay a webmaster to publish it. Even Google can't frown on this.
