How much do members of DP spend on links per year/month?

Just wondering it seems alot of members do this, i was wondering if it would be better using PPC instead, your views and comments wanted. Just seems which ever way you go you got to spend loads to get hits on websites of ours

 

I pay ~ $ 300 a month for subscription links and ~ $ 200 for permanent links a month

 

my god, that is loads do you see much for it?

 

So far I haven't bought any links, I just do link exchanges and rely on natural incoming links. I'm thinking of changing my 'policy' to jumpstart one of my new blogs though - I just don't have the time I used to

 

I only spend about $3,000,000 per year on links.

 

He's joking... I hope.

 

Wow what am i missing?

wish i could earn these figures per annum, although i spend about £100, $200 per month and dont get back what i put in front using PPC and other methods, should i reconsider what i do with my bugget?

 

Your bugget is way too high

 

I spend maybe $100 per month - I'm small fry, but the only way is up!

 

I think i need to spend! I have Not pend more than $50 till now for links!!!, I m happy with Free sites and Free Reciprocal Links!

 

I spend max $50 per month. I love free sites providing linkbacks.

 

I believe you earn $3,000,000 per year selling links.

 

so far about 75$ on the year....I also rely on lots of advertising in forums, which brings me traffic...

 

You must be competing in the Viagra, Gambling and porn niches or something to be spending that much money...lol

 

I still spend 0$ per month or year on links. I do put time in though.

 

So far, I've spent zilch/$0 on marketing. With a blog I just don't think at first that expenditure is justifiable. Free publicity is so easy to get, it just takes good writing skills and an email to a top-class blogger alerting them of your material.

If in fact you have written something worthwhile, they'll lap it up and will give you a link on a no doubt highly trafficked page.

This happened to me, when I was linked to by the official TLA blog for a post I did about them! Worked a treat with traffic and RSS subscribers!

 

I have spent aprox $1,100 for permanent links, and aprox $80/month on link subscriptions
.
Now my site is top ten on Google for many keywords
.

 

i spend $500+ per month... every month i spend more because i earn more... so my sites grow in traffic exponentially

 

Links vs. PPC - two different animals. PPC is immediate and Links are much longer-term - of course both require money and/or time.

 

Haven't spent anything yet, it's all been word of mouth and getting backlinks from relevant sites. Of course I make next to nothing, so you might not want to follow my strategy.
