How Much Would You Charge For Links

    Hello,

    I'm curious as to what would be a good price to charge for links (per month or year) on a site with the following info:

    - blog hosted on my own domain, uses WordPress Software
    - home page is PR 2, some internal pages have PR 1 or PR 2
    - traffic is very small , usually between 5 and 15 hits per day
    - over 400 posts and over 750 pages indexed in Google
    - links would be added in sitewide in a links section

    Thanks for your input.

    I'm not sure but if you asked me, I would buy a link from a page without good traffic.

    Depends on the quality of the content of the site, the potential for traffic and your future commitment to grow the site, but no more than $1pm / $10pa

    To be honest, not too much. Try building traffic to at least 1000+. What you might want to do is put a price up on your site and see if anyone takes it, if not then lower it. Saying that though, maybe $5 - 10 for the year might work at the moment.

    Thanks for the responses.

    Gr8t, you asked about the length, update frequency, and niche.

    It is a parenting blog that has been online for a year and a half. It's been updated only a few times a week for the last month, but prior to that, I had a very busy time in which there were several entries per day from Nov - Feb because I was doing a lot of writing for blog advertising companies.

    Thanks again.

    Try to increase your PageRank first. You have to build your backlink to gain a good PR. I think free directory submission can be one solution for you. That will increase your visitor too :)

    If you got PR4 or + then you can charge $10+ per month ;)

    I'd turn the site into a mini-directory, get your PR up a tonne, then convert it into a high quality content based site.

    Then you can start making some decent money. ;)
