I thought this may make for an interesting thread with some usefull info in it for people like myself who havent a clue This is the question what would you expect to pay per month for a link from a relevant site with PR of 0 - 8 ? If this thread gets enough responses I will create a spread sheet & average out all the responses. This is what i would expect to pay per month. PR 0 $0.5 - $1 PR 1 $1 - $2 PR 2 $2 - $5 PR 3 $3 - $10 PR 4 $5 - $10 PR 5 $10 - $20 PR 6 $15 - $30 PR 7 $25 - $50 PR 8 $50 +
Depends a lot on the topic of the website. A PR3 real estate link from a site with high quality original content is worth far more than a PR5 from a MFA article scraper site about Paris Hilton.
You must keep in mind, sites that are complementary to yours are worth more than crapy sites with high pr's. If your site is about say a retirement community, you sure would not like to buy a link on a teen site.
Yes this is a very circumspect subject with many variables A lot depends on the subject category and the number of similar sites etc etc Many sites charge what they consider the vertical market they are in will pay for such PR Links. I dont think there are any hard fixed rates that can be applied
Thanks axemedia Just playin devils advocate here I should have stated one would be buying the links uniquely for increasing Their own IBL & PR Not for traffic so to speak the variables would then sku the results So Baring that in mind would not a link from a PR5 from a MFA article scraper site But Relevant to your own . be worth more than a A PR3 link from a site with high quality original content ? & yes per month for a link from a relevant site
Agree, I put far more value on the topic than the PR. I'd choose a PR4 on-topic link and pay more for it than a PR6 directory link.
MattUK & Axemedia you are correct if you are chasing position in the serps for a certain phrase/word but this Post/Question is all about increasing your own IBLs & PR Which is a totaly different to improving ones position for a certain term. Even though the two are related they are not directly related.
I agree that topic is an important factor as well, but also the amount of outbounds is just as important if not more. To me a pr 4 page with only 10 outbounds or less is better than a pr 6 with 25 outbounds. I think that is overlooked more often than not by most buyers.
Id go for the PR6, even if it does have more outbounds. Obviously has some page strength and authority.
Think of this question in the "all else being equal" consideration. If everything was equal - how much is a PR0 vs a PR1, etc. For me, it is pretty simple formula: PR0 - $1 PR1 - $2 PR2 - $4 PR3 - $8 PR4 - $16 PR5 - $32 PR6 - $64 PR7 - $128 PR8 - $256
Good to see some feed back I forgot this post Phynder I like your logic Volconvo It is impossible to boost PR by selling ads
It depends on how many outbound links will be present on webpage to share pr juice. Above rates are acceptable to me if OBL are <40 For PR8 min should be $100 Otherwise rates would decrease.
If that seems to be the consensus, then I was just supporting it. In looking at real pricing of links I do see the 2^n relationship up to the PR7 and PR8 level - then things get more linear - although they shouldn't.
Instead of depending on Google page rank - there is a increased need of traffic generation, SERP placement, etc.... I have some high PR8 homepages in webmaster/seo/ popular open source software that is around $300/ month. But my clients who are looking to achieve link popularity passage, increased SERP, and increased PR are more than happy to acquire these links - even with the higher price. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve and how you want to get there! Stephanie
I try to base my rates on traffic more then PR, because after all the traffic is what you want at your site isn't it? traffic ussually results in poeple and people buy products PR buys nothing from you
