Hi all, What are the variables that you use to determine the price for submissions? Is it just PR? In Lola directory I've put a different price to different according the popularity but on Link2share I've just have a flat rate. But I don't know if it is cheap or normal. What is your opinion?
I just go by what i think most could afford, if i have a listing option with a little extra i just add a little to the price, i try not to have too much of a gap between the prices. Not by pr, not by age, so far ive only made one price increase, and it ws small.
I run 100 metres. I set my prices based on the time it takes me. Its currently 9.95 so as you can see, i'm quite athletic
then 2.5$ is for you ! and PayPal comission is 0.30$ + %. Consider yourself lucky if you can afford and icecream from that money kiddin'
Hi formula, I think you should make a big difference between the levels of pricing for the simple reason you are offering far more with one package than you are the other. Example being a top of the page listing.
I just think how much i would have spent for a review in my own directory and set the price by that measure. People used to think why to spend $20 for a PR0 directory with no traffic, but dont think about the future of the link that is going to be long term.
I think you know exactly what I mean. When selling a link you are effectively selling advertising space, the better that space the more you charge, it's as simple as that really.
I keep in ind PR + Deep Links + Directories ranking in google earch pages. i decide on these basis . obviously it all depends on the features you offer to the submitter. soon will be reviewing mine worlwebdirectory.co.uk as i am planning for deep links many thanks.
Good for you, tell me why you keep in mind PR? do you hold any importance on that then? I thought everyone wised up to that when selling links?
Its really mysmehmood's right thought as an individual if he wants to do that, nobody can say to the next man that they cant set a price on their own choices. Leave people up to how they set theirs and you set yours your way.
Hello... I would say its basically dependent on Region... In the USA most would start anywhere from $10-$20 bucks and up where in the UK that would probably start around $30 per review. In Africa , India ,Pakistan, Indonesia and out west its usually much less as they are dependent on the US dollar and Euro and $1-$5 bucks goes much further in those countries.. (just a guesstimate) thx malcolm
I appear to be charging the African, Indian, Pakistan prices then, $1.50 permanent regular listing, in the uk thats about 75pence before paypal deductions.
Wow 75p is cheap john. Lets hope its worth it for you. I'd rather not bother for so cheap. I'd turn free and pay someone to review the spam for me. Just my opinion....although if its more a hobby rather than a full time job then thats fine. Depends how much you invest in your directories too.
Well im currently looking at it like this, until i have more pages indexed, some better features, possibly unique templates (although i dont see them as essential) and some other things i feel its better to keep the prices as they are at the moment, $1.50 at least keeps the majority of spam submitters away, and i think its not bad for some to have what i guess you can call budget directories, so that submitters always have that choice. THe free directories, budget paid, premium paid etc, targetting different types of customers, and different budgets.
I was asking for mysmehmood's opinion not your pipes, and I never contradicted his thoughts, I simply asked a question on his values of PR. Try and avoid butting if you don't mind, because in doing so your inadvertantly imposing your own views on him which is exactly what you advised me not to do.
Another thread police officer i can see this pr argument is never ever going to die down is it, this is rivalry about phplynx and phpld and anyone who doesn't agree with your crew. Im best off staying out of this, have fun Jamie.
The only feud is in people's minds pipes. I think PR is a total load of nonsense when it's abused by directory owners etc, and that's my opinion, what's this "Crew" nonsense your spouting off about, but childish isn't it. I don't intend to get to that level so will kindly ask you refrain from such as well. If your a fan of PR and its abuse then good for you, I'm not.
