of course they're different things.. if you counted ppc my monthly costs would be significantly higher then 2000$ a month.
Okay, that clarifies, I just noticed some posters mentioning adwords so I thought they considering those link buying.
I don't really spend any money on links. I tried this once before and I didn't find any results worth paying for. There are other better ways to get them free.
Well I spend not a single dollar on links I got free links from free resources and I have more than 2000+ quality links.
My first site I spent sooo much time trying to get authentic links. hundreds of link exchanges, directories and I got sick and tired of it. Next, I make another website, its up for two weeks, make maybe 10 link exchanges, and BAM, over 2000+ links into the site. Don't know how or why but I really don't care. One thing is for sure, I am NEVER going to be spending so much time on link exchanges again.
I can tell you that one of our portfolio companies had about 20,000 backlinks after it was only 3 weeks post-launch. And they bought "zero" links. The key is having quality content that people want to link to.
I spend about $350 per month on links getting about... $2500 back... Pretty good investment. I need to make more content than buying links because I rank pretty high on all my keywords... =)
Links purchase to increase google pr : around $100/month Paid traffic via CPC : around $500/month Still rising.
I dont spend anything on links. Infact, nobody needs to spend anything on links. You can achieve high rankings and traffic and also get good links with a little more hard work and persistence. Maybe people looking for sudden boost in rankings and traffic look towards paid links.. ??
Really depends own your concept, I think it’s a good investment or else i wouldn’t be doing it. I must say the most expensive ones are the ones I already had the best return, higher than what I paid.
