Value of a link

[BettingTools]

I'd previously rather naively thought that buying and selling links was a complete no-no and ignored the many offers.
A lot of the recent offers though have been from reputable sites who are a good fit for my site, so I'm now considering these.

I have absolutely no idea how much a link on my site would be worth though!
I know it's not an exact science but could anyone give me a rough idea specifically for this page please? http://www.bettingtools.co.uk/blog/

Cheers
Brian

It's hard to say. It depends on whether it's a text link or a banner link, where will it be positioned on the page, is it mainly to improve the buyer's site in the serps or will it be sending quality traffic? If I was to buy a text or small banner link on the site, I'd personally buy it to get some traffic to my site, and I would expect to pay somewhere between $50 and $100 per month.

I`d ask a little over what you think it`s worth it, since it`s not good to sell too many links, but it`s ok to sell a couple here and there. You have a decent site with decent ranking, if you have at least 500 hits per day with under 60% bounce rate I would not accept anything under 125$ (one do-follow text link). Unless you are really desperate to sell. Probably it`s worth around 100 as far as I`m concerned, but of course it`s relative and it depends on your traffic.

This depends on how much you value your site, how strong you believe its value to be, how strongly you believe G (and others) rate it, and how much you really want the link money.

The last named may be the most important consideration. If you are getting legitimate enquiries, then that would seem to suggest those enquirers have done their homework and they're seeking a link because they deem it desirable.

So if you're not worried about putting someone off, and you do actually believe a link from your site offers value, then you could approach it from a 'I have nothing to lose' perspective and pitch it high(er)....especially if those making the approaches are clearly either operators or top tier affiliates (either of which will probably be making enough profit that spending high $xxx on your link will mean next to nothing for them financially).

Your DomainAuthority (DA) is 25, so I guess a link would cost $100-$150. Just to give you at least some number to start with. BetDistrict's DA is 30 and he said he wouldn't accept anything lower than $125.

Really appreciate the help guys, some quality advice there all from names I recognize and respect.
That's given me a good starting point now since I genuinely had no clue!

Thanks again to all of you for your responses.

I meant I would not accept anything under 125$ if I was in his shoes, aproximating on the info he gave us (well, I was taking 125-150 euros so no big diff.).

And yesterday my DA was 25, thanks for the good news Dan .

Good luck BettingTools!

I don't track DA so much as I used to, I used to have a plugin on Firefox that showed me DA and PA for every page I went on but it kept crashing the browser. Could do with finding another one though as it's a pretty useful metric.

In terms of link selling, I would only link to other fairly decent sites, e.g. good DA, some PR if possible and also check they're not spammy in any way. Remember the sites you link to reflect on your own site so don't link to something really low authority just cos they pay you. Personally I wouldn't sell links anyway, I'd rather earn the £75-£150 through a gambling customer than put myself in any risk.

FYI, I used www.bulkdachecker.com for checking your DAs, not the original Moz service.

I think the pricing the guys suggesting here is fair enough but do not forget that the value of your page will
be damaged if you'll not place related links or links without 'nofollow' attribute.
And it takes months to recover so just consider if its worth it.

I think it depends mostly from DA as PR is not updated anymore. It also depends from the number of ourgoing links of the page and some other things like Alexa for example.

Seems to be good numbers in all the posts so far but I would not sell links. I am not sure if this is good or not but I just don´t want to take any risk for a few €. What is your opinion?

[roberto236]

Obeviously i like your bettingtools. Can you please explain here how it's works ?

My opinion is don't do it unless you're desperate for cash.
