Question : featured links prices ?!

hello everyone ..

my question is about featured links and their prices.. what is the average price for featured links in PR3, PR4, and PR5 web directories ..

and is it good to have the regular links paid for PR5 directory ??!

thanks

 

average price depends on your dir popularity and only you as the owner can make that decission. if you get lots of paid submissions while charging $30/link then you can increase it to 40 or 50 and see how many submissions you get.

I would charge for regular links on a pr5 site. paid submission = %95 less spam and better quality links
hope that helps

 

Thanks for your reply dugi, i agree with you that regular links should be paid for better quality links .. and i think $30/link is quite appropriate for a pr5 site ..

 

Why equate the submission fee with PageRank? Is that all the directory has to offer? Do you really believe that by charging a fee you'll receive "better quality links" ??

 

what that means web directory with PR5?
It is total BS. Your link will be somewhere on some internal page with most likely low PR or no PR at all and with many many other links on it.
If you still care about PR, pay only if your link will be on a page with PR and with very limited number of other links.
But my recommendation - don't pay, don't waste your money. Even if you on page with PR and only your link there, you don't know how many links will be tomorrow on a same page.

 

Good directories charge a nominal fee for listing upkeep and the time involved to review your site and make sure it remains a valid site/link.

Listing fees are neither and incentive for, or guarantee of PR.

"Featured Links" are generally links that pay a premium to remain within a certain prominent location and or category or part of the site that has a combination of things from visibility, PR, traffic or otherwise notable presence.

As with regular listings, Featured Listings are neither an incentive or guarantee of PR, nor should they be treated as such.

 

I just checked my best value directory list and PR5 directories are priced between 1 and 35 dollars to get a high value score. PR4 directories up to about $25 (there are a lot with lower prices). PR3 directories are priced at $15 if they have huge alexa traffic, but mostly $10 and below.

 

Why is the link being "featured" to begin with?? Is it because someone paid more money than someone else? Or is it because an editor has decided that this is a site that stands out from the rest of the listings and should have a prominent position in the directory? Can any crap site be featured site if they pay your fee?

 

PR and Listing Fees have nothing to do with one another...

 

Just charge something reasonable and not $xxxx.xx for a listing.

 

it depends of the directories that you will use, I do have 5 directories, for my Rank 3 and 5 the feature link I charge $2.49 per trimester, but there (internet) is a lot of different price for it.
