    A company told me they can write a guest post and publish it on Forbes for 2000 pound for my website, my questions:

    1- as i need to increase my domain authority which is currently 5.0 dose it worth to pay the amount for the guest post on Forbes ?

    2- is it better to pay for guest post on Forbes or spend this budget on lower domain authority sites ?

    You can get a post on Forbes for a couple hundred dollars, that price is way too high.

    I think its better to directly contact Forbes and make a deal.. 2000 pounds is way too high. I won't pay more than 500 for such a post.

    2000 pounds for a link on Forbes. Something smells very very fishy here.

    It would be better to buy 4/5 guest posts in that price from different authority sites rather than throwing out this huge amount at one place.

    It went from 0 to 17 in one month.
    I expect it to cross 25 in 5 days when the next update comes out.

    If this price is normal for you, you can pay of course. for me personally it's expensive

    It depends on what parameters to evaluate...for example "The New York Times"

    You're right because you're the only person that has contacts/editors at Forbes, my apologies. $2500 is the firm price.
    What are you wanting a homepage link? haha. A link from a "weak" sub domain as you call it would be a better link than 95% of someone's links. So you over pay $2500 all you want for your sub domain links. A Forbes link is an Authority link no matter where it is and isn't an easy link to acquire.
