What's this service worth?

Dear warriors

Some guidance would be most appreciated. An seo company that I have used before has contacted me offering a monthly list of the following:

100 x pr 5 & 6 blogs for commenting on

Mix of follow and no follow

Not scrape box harvested

Mix of foreign and USA blogs

They want 35 dollars a month for the just the list, I would have to do the comments myself. I am keen to diversify my back links and wondered if this was a good price? What would you pay for this monthly list?

Thanks in advance

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

That seems like a reasonable price, however I would be concerned about that exact same list being distributed to a large group of spammers. In other words, if they are compiling that list for your use exclusively, it is a good value. But, if that list isn't for your use exclusively then if is of far less value.

  Thanks DBurk. These guys run a small amount of clients, of whom I am one. They have stated that this list will only be available to 100 people and a new list is sent each month.
  
  I think I will give it a shot
  
  Thanks again

  Hi Nigel,
  
  I wouldn't invest too much of my effort in such a list. It only takes a handful of other list holders to taint the entire list. This could result in the bulk of your efforts being deleted, or even worse you could end up being branded a spammer and put onto a blacklist that wipes out all your valuable contributions to websites that filter against that blacklist.
  
  I'm not saying don't use it, just limit your exposure by doing other, less volatile, promotional activity. Personally, I would not use a list that was distributed to a hundred other internet marketers.

  Just use it as one of your strategies for SEO rather than the main strategy. The comments do help, but they help a lot if they go to a blog post page that gets closed for comments after a few days from opening (as the window of spam gets limited).

I myself wouldn't bother with the list. 100 other people will have the exact same list. So each post will be close to having the exact same out bound links.
