Pricing links

Hi,

I've been building a link network, trading content for link space.

Right now I have link space (places I can put links) on 450 webpages across aproximately 125 seperate ips.

Most of these pages are run by amatuer webmasters or are new sites and have low pr. The pages include a wide variety of topics. These would be non-reciprocal, inbound links.

When I put one of my own websites on the link network, it went from rank 176 to 12 under a very competitive keyword (out of 9.5 million results).

I'm new to seo, and have never sold links before. What would be a good pricing strategy for this? I'm using three link spaces for my own sites, have two, maybe three spaces, that I would be selling.

Thank you for any thoughts, ideas,

Chris

Hi
I don't deal in links and rearely recomened it but...
Most people seem to selllinks based on the PR of the site that has the link.
This is seen as a good indication.

I would say your best bet is to start of low with pricing say $20 per month (plucked out of the air)
and when the demand goes up you increase the price.
One thing that most schemes like this should do is offer some sort of re assurance and policy. I have read sites that do this that
say they will only incorporate 2 external links per page so as not to reduce relevancy. Aslo if your sites rank well for certian terms or are in certain markets they
would be worth more to certain groups. Do a bit of research and customer targetting and you may find this fairly profitable.

Check out linkadage.com for a sample of what people are charging based on the amount of links (sitewide or just homepage), PR, number of characters for title, number of IPs, etc.
