I got very different prices for PR3 blogs, from 10/perm to 150/perm. What technique do you use to calculate "market price" for you?
well it depends upon the traffic and do follow no-follow if you get 1000 unique hit with pr3 do follow than you can easily get 60$ a year for blog roll link
well, for myself, I don't really calculate ... I have set my pricing depending on PR .... you buy it or leave it.
The pricing is based on open market, there is no real fix pricing and remember lot of things depends upon your site, DP is PR4 but the pricing running here for PR4 site is not necessarily gonna apply for the same.
There are some valuation sites out there, but really, what I do, is I take my PR and my monthly UV stats. With my traffic and UV's, I work it out as an average for each month and then consider a monthly price. Obviously, the more space for advertisement I offer, the more it costs, but for text links I don't offer as much. You can't set a figure just based on PR and UV's, but you can easily estimate one. Another factor is also the niche of the blogs. I mean different niche's will yield different prices. You need to investigate the average prices for each niche, and then ammend it based on traffic
the market value is based on what somebody will pay for that link. look around other peoples sites that are selling links, find a comparable site in terms of traffic/PR etc. and base your link prices on that site.
As a buyer of links, I look at the number and quality of outgoing links on the blogroll, although I don't buy many blogroll links anymore. If the site has too many paid links, it can be penalised by Google while still showing PR in the toolbar. This being the case, I'd value such links at $0, no matter what the toolbar PR is. If someone is selling a PR3 blogroll link for $10, chances are it is a drop-catch domain with lots of paid links. Value = $0.
