Hi Guy's,

A real stupid question here, but what would be the average link price for either a PR3 / or PR4 link in a directory?

Do you think $5 for 12 months is expensive?

Regards
Tom

Theres no hard and fast rules to follow with pricing Tom. Only you know how much dedication, hard work, promotion and $$$ you put into it. Set your prices and test them.

I have paid over $35 for PR0, simply because PR alone does not sway my decision one way or the other when I am submitting. I do background checks and can usually make a pretty educated decision if the directory will be here for the long haul.

Without having a link to your site your question is hard to answer, although a few here will let you know one way or the other as PR is their only influence.

...and Welcome to Directory Owners.

He means $5 for 12 months, which seems to be a good figure. Is it a PR3 / or PR4 link or is the homepage PR3 or 4?

Firstly, I've not really spent much by way of directory listings.

That said, I evaluated based on many more criteria than PR - that can be too easily bought.

I look to see how frequently listings are added - I look at the latest added if the directory has one and look at the dates. If it's been a month or longer since the last add - I'll probably leave - not enough activity to keep the bots coming.

I look to see if the categories are tight to topic. Free or paid, if the directory owner fails to do this - I move on.

And, if they are using a default template - they'll never get any money from me.

Thanks guys for all of your responses, i have two website directories, 1 of them you can purchase keywords and the other offers both free and paid for links.

After looking over this post ive have set the prices from $2 per year upwards depending on the sites features, whether the member wants a featured link etc.

Could someone take a look at the sites and tell me if this is over the top??

Tread cautiously with sites that might look as if they might be selling their PR. I also try to avoid being seen to buy links and believe its a mistake to be seen to be selling links.

This however is one point of view amongst many. For me link building is a long term process and whilst I will pay for a review on a site that will stay the distance, a recurring charge is something different.
