Have not sold links for a LONG time as I use my networks for more private things. For people who buy links here (and I know some purists will come on and say how bad it is but theres probably not a serp that doesn't have paid links)

What prices do you pay for

pr3,pr4,pr5 PR6 links with low outbounds per month? or per year?

Does relevancy of the site affect what you pay? IF you have the time could you break that down by PR like "PR3 I pay so much" "PR4 I pay so much" etc?

Oh I should probably say what kind of links so lets say what people call guest blogs -or contextual within an article.

  • Hey Mike - just sent you a PM about R.A.L. - could you check it and get back to me?

    Cheers!
  • pr3 page about $ 50-100 a year

    • The economy has shifted on link buying. Normal for PR1-6, is
      anywhere from $20-30 a month. But, more link buyers
      are asking to pay $100 upfront for a year. I never leave money
      on the table. It costs me nothing to put a link up.

      PR7 and above, same niche, yada yada yada...maybe $50
      a month.

      If I were buying links, I would go for yearly deals. Some big
      name brands have paid for 2 years. Yearly because I have
      some assurance that I will get a year's worth of link juice,
      no fuss, no muss.

    • Wow one PR3 link. I'd give an entire page for that.

      Now that will drain your pockets. I know the offer you are referring to but I'm not building up networks for people anymore like I used to - not that way. I've built enough PR3 and up domains that I know for a fact Google does not give a rats rear end about updating PR accurately at each update. I have pointed PR5 and PR6 links (with OBL under 15) on pages and some sites got updated while many didn't and then I would have people screaming at me even when the juice was there but Google didn't update the pR for that site.

      Word to the wise base no service on Google updating metrics that help link sellers or domain sellers. Buy no service based on that either. I have seen PR3 and up survive toolbar updates and some even TWO updates and they are worthless to have links on.

      But dude I told you by PM I would see you are set so CHILLLLLL!!!

    • I think this is pretty a big amount for a year (unless it has ONLY 1-2 OBL's)
  • Banned
    highPrlinks.net or .com charges $1/month for 100 links with 40 OBL (EDIT: I said 100 OBL but that's not true afaik, it's 40 OBL,sorry)

    I used to charge PR3 $4/month, PR4 $8/month, PR5 $16/month with 15 OBL.

    But let me tell you one thing, you are going to regret it! Just believe me, it's not without reason that I quit renting out links. Point 1: There is not so much demand for rented links, point 2 you get to deal with tons of crappy sites that want to rent links for 1-2 months and then they cancel again.

    I'm glad I got rid of it, and if you insist make sure to only handle request of $100+/month.

    • I completely agree with this. I rent out links on a few of my sites and this is what I have experienced.

      Paying a one time fee for blog posts that stay on the homepage for a month or so seems to be popular now.
    • YO NIK!

      Don't worry for me. I won't regret doing that because I am not planning on doing that. I was just doing some comparison pricing research comparing buying links to that white hat service you been wanting to hear so much about (so you can TRY to reverse engineer it -lol)

  • nik0's price structure seems right. As far as the headaches involved from buyers it really depends on where they came from/how they found you... If you are approached from a company that seeks out sites related to their client's niches, things usually go quite smoothly and long term deals work out much better. But those are not as common
  • so..........do I make my own network or what? Man..i think I'm just gnna go all out on PPC

    • Bless you if you are good at PPC. I've thrown lot's of $ away through the years attempting and re-attempting with different campaigns...

  • never really bought links for many reason one, you never what your buying and all of sudden your site is no longer indexed in the search engine for bad links that are called "Farm Links" which can kill your efforts over night. I am very cautious with that marketing strategy, the best way to get links is by produce more quality links that are relevant to your blog or site..takes time but in the long run you will see your site being one of the few good organic search being done..
  • I only buy the permanent,links this way I am ensured that it is there for a long time. I don't like paying for links every month.
  • Don't prefer to sell or even buy a link from one or more source!

    It would be fine for 1-12 temporary weeks, after that, the rank for the link will be -ve which affects your webpage.

    And this scheme is against Google too! Prefer for genuine linking.

  • Relevancy is a HUGE value-add for me.

    In fact, I don't even buy links unless they're on a relevant site.

    Based on prices I've paid at other forums for contextual, niche-relevant links I'd pay about these prices (one-time fees):

    1. PR3: $70
    2: PR4: $95
    3: PR5: $150++
    4: PR6 (Haven't seen any of these that are niche-relevant)

    Other things I've been paying more attention to are brand signals the network sites have, like a Twitter profile, logo etc. And the link profile obviously makes a huge difference.

    Hope that helps.

    • For me, it would not affect the price of the link. In the first place, you shouldn't pay for a link on a site that's not, in any way, relevant to your niche. Well, at least for me, I don't see any reason to do such thing.

      When I buy links, some factors I consider are valid PR, quality of the site, traffic, OBL, time frame. These will determine the price of a link.
  • I have one PR7 site. Not the strongest one, but still.. OBL is zero, I haven't managed to sell no links on it. Makes me wanna go fiverr and squeeze the hell out of it. If anyone knows some good sources where to sell/links on it, them I would be much appreciated.

  • Also, know where you are going to buy link from, footer, sidebar is in question today.

    It would be good if you buy in-content links..

    And it totally depends on deals, quality of sites.

    • Is highPrlinks.net any good?

      And your right about the link rental lol, as a customer that ordered links and than cancel the next month, I can tell you it was because they were amazon sites I didn't care about. If it had been a site I truly cared about, or a client's site than I would not have cancel.

      I think renting links can work, you just have to get 3 months payment in advance which still would be pretty low at your prices. So PR3 would be 12 up front, that's not bad and 3 months should be enough time for your customers to see some sort of results, depending on competition and how many links they rent.

  • Just remember that the perfect backlink includes a link which gets clicked a lot, not just placed on some place on which one basically no one clicks that link.

    So just high PR isn't good if no one clicks on your link. That's why you need to look at websites with good traffic and good PR. Even PR2 with good traffic can be worth a lot, compared to PR4 website with tinny traffic.

    • That's absolutely true! Links that generate traffic and real visitors are the future. In connection to co-citation.
    • Where do you people come up with these theories. Do you dream them at night and then post?

      Google has no way of knowing how many times a link on a site is clicked.

      I'll take a PR9 link from a solid site on a page that few people click any day of the week as long as googlebot follows it.

      Thats absolute nonsense!
  • Sape has really changed the link rental landscape for those people who have access and can stomach the risk Sape.ru presents. PR1-PR5 backlinks can be had for <2 USD a month (with PR3/4 as little as .20-50 USD a month). Link resellers jack up prices from Sape 3-10X. I can rent out 200 PR3/4s for as little as 50 bucks a month. Perfect for churn and burn properties.

    For legit in content links, the price depends on if the link is contextual, if the links generates traffic, the difficulty of getting the link placement, etc.

    I have paid up to 1,000 USD for a permanent backlink on a PR6 page (PA in the 70s) (on a high authority PR8 domain with <5,000 Alexa) with low backlinks.

    I have passed up permanent placements on PR6 pages with 50 OBLs for as little as 30 USD, because the link was junk, e.g., low PA, non-niche relevant content, spammy OBLs, etc.

    For a run of the mill website, with no traffic, and about 10-15 OBLs, you can expect to pay per month around 80-200 for a PR7 and 40-60 for a PR6.

    I wouldn't really bother with anything below PR5 unless it is in a package deal, because these domains are cheap and easy to come by as are permanent placements on domains with internal pages with PR, e.g., I can buy aged PR3 internal contextual links with 1 OBL for about 50 bucks a pop (or just buy an expired domain with PR3 for even less (of course hosting will cost more over the long run)).
