Buy links

Price increase

I've decided to increase the prices for sponsors of my ESL site. I've been getting too many requests from sites that are after my PR, sites that my visitors are unlikely to be interested in. New prices for 12 months:

http://www.eslgo.com/ = $330
http://www.eslgo.com/classes.html = $265
http://www.eslgo.com/resources.html = $225
http://www.eslgo.com/resources/sa.html $185
http://www.eslgo.com/quizzes.html = $185
http://www.eslgo.com/classes/business/ = $140
http://www.eslgo.com/resources/ba.html = $140

My main page is PR 6. All these other pages are PR 5. The price variations come from traffic.

Selling text links through LinkWorth

I recently signed up for LinkWorth. I registered my New York Giants blog, and am asking 15.00 for a homepage link and 75.00 for sitewide links. The blog is PR 5 (although LinkWorth has their own system for determining link popularity) and gets over 200 unique visitors/day. LinkWorth takes a 30% commission if they send any customers my way.

My blog seems to be the most reasonably priced sports site. I went through the links for sale and sites with less link popularity and less traffic than mine usually wanted 15.00 just for a sub page! If you're looking to buy text links, I would sign up and take a look, but shop around before you buy. I think a lot of webmasters are overestimating the value of their links.

Buyalink.net increases prices

Do you remember my link selling experience with buyalink.net? Well I was not terribly happy with the price, but the price has been raised:

Our new payment structure to sellers is now as follows: PR 4 Links - $5 per month PR 5 Links - $15 per month PR 6 Links - $50 per month PR 7 Links - $100 per month PR 8 Links - $200 per month These new prices apply to any new link purchases made from today.

Naturally the prices have also increased fo buyers:

PR 4 Links - $10 each
This will give you a text link of up to 10 words from a webpage that is searchable by search engines and has a Google PR of 4, for a minimum of 1 month.

PR 5 Links - $30 each
This will give you a text link of up to 10 words from a webpage that is searchable by search engines and has a Google PR of 5, for a minimum of 1 month.

PR 6 Links - $80 each
This will give you a text link of up to 10 words from a webpage that is searchable by search engines and has a Google PR of 6, for a minimum of 1 month.

PR 7 Links - $150 each
This will give you a text link of up to 10 words from a webpage that is searchable by search engines and has a Google PR of 7, for a minimum of 1 month.

PR 8 Links - $300 each
This will give you a text link of up to 10 words from a webpage that is searchable by search engines and has a Google PR of 8, for a minimum of 1 month.

As you can see we're still looking at some healthy markups.

Payment received

I received the 25.00 for the 5 PR 4 links. It came to 23.78 after pay pal fees. As I mentioned I wasn't sure if I would be paid monthly or if I was getting 5 dollars for three months. Perhaps it's an honest mistake or maybe buyalink wants to confuse sellers. If you look at the buyer's information:

PR 4 Links - $10 each

This will give you a text link of up to 10 words from a webpage that is searchable by search engines and has a Google PR of 4, for a minimum of three months.

You can see that buyers are paying ten dollars for three months which means sellers are getting 5 dollars for three months. That's less than 2 dollars a month! I must be a pretty nice guy selling my links so cheap!

Perhaps after the three months is up I can continue a relationship with the buyer that's a bit more profitable by eliminating the middle man's huge profit margins.
