I'm looking at placing 5 links on many of my PR6, PR5 and PR4 pages through a broker (accepting general family ok links). Is there a possiblity this could hurt my traffic? I have a healthy AdSense income which I wouldn't want to affect.
I don't know if that hurt your traffic but your pageviews for sure, on the other hand if you are not making too much money from that websites you could improve your income selling links.
Most of the links will be on the lower left or bottom areas of the page, how exactly would it affect pageviews? Im pulling in over a $100 a day with AdSense, should I be conservative with the link selling?
some people could click on those paid links and go out of your website, for that I pay for links... to get your traffic...
Ok, as opposed to clicking on ads.. Ok, well on the high paying ads pages the paid links will be in the less noticeable areas, I guess it's a matter of testing and getting the right balance.
I agree with WhatUdo. 5 links isn't very much and from the sounds of it the links are simply for transferring PageRank so they will probably go to websites with different content - thus you don't have to worry about losing any traffic. Go ahead with it.
Well, Adsense is nothing more than links. It's all sending traffic away. Just depends if the ROI is better with the links than the Adsense, I guess.
