In the past I got this chart for the value of links to buy & Sell based on the PR. Do you think this price is accurate? Pr 0 = cannot sell Pr 1 = $1 per month Pr 2 = $2 per month Pr 3 = $2.50 to $4 per month Pr 4 = $ 4 to $10 per month Pr 5 = $9 to $20 per month Pr 6 = $15 to $40 per month Pr 7 = $50 to $200 per month Pr 8 = $200 to $1000 per month Pr 9 = $1000 to $5000 per month Pr 10 = $5000 to $20,000 per month
In my opinion there is no overall chart with what a (back)link or ad is worth. The value depends on so many factors like niche, visitors, pageviews, position etc... Also would only be a pagerank worth so much? There are websites with a pagerank 8 or 9 with not that much visitors, if you ask me those arent worth xxx or xxxx dollar...
But if you exchange with the pr 8 or 9 and get a pr 8 or 9 on your next update then you're site is worth a lot more pending you have a lot of traffic.
With a backlink from a webpage with the pagerank 8 or 9 you wont get a equal pagerank. It helps you ranking but getting instant highranked no! There are more factors then just a high PR what have influence on your ranking. And you want to pay to get a high pagerank? Or you want to pay for a good result in the searchengines? Or are you paying for traffic? My point is, with $1000 you can get a lot more then just one backlink from a PR8 website. If I had to spend $1000 and could choose between advertising or a PR8 website I knew what I would do for my business. With some smart advertising you can reach a lot of people. If your website is good enough (and that should be if you were thinking to spend that kind of cash) backlinks will come anyway. @the other comments "there is no chart for the links but it looks pretty close to being right" If there is no chart for such links how the hell can it be close to right? Its just what the people are willing to give for it depending on some factors it can be $10 or $10.000...
Maybe not but at the end its all about sales and not what pagerank you got. My point was that you can reach a bigger targetted audience with that kind of money. Beside you wont have a PR8+ after spending $1000 for a single PR8 or PR10 backlink either..
A big factor is how many outbound links there are from the page. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a link from a PR5 page that only has one outbound link is worth more than a link from a PR6 page with 100 outbound links.
