$400 / Month for a pr7?

Is it good?

[Shawn Steele]

There is a website that is a web directory (about a total of 1000 pages) with a home page of pr 7 and 4,800,000 avg monthly page views.

Submitting your website to the appropriate category costs a one time $30, but if you want to have a anchor text link all of its 1000+ pages most of which are pr 6 or 7 it costs 400/month. I would be buying this for the obvious extra quality traffic I would receive from them but also the boost in pr. Do you think it's worth it?

Thanks,
Shawn

I'd do it if I thought the investment would yield at least $500/month increase in sales. If not, then no.

Why would anyone pay 400.00 per month on a possibility of something happening (assuming the site isn;t like a CNN, Fox, etc.).

I've paid $2500 for a run of banner ads on a large network of sites at $7.50/M and maybe made $200. I paid $150 for 1,000,000 impressions at one of those untargeted IRC type sites and made about $1000. And I've spent $2000+ on for a high traffic search engine forum leadeboard banner at $10/M and made over $2000 and counting. I could go on and on.

The point is you need to spend money and try various things. These are normal start up costs. In the beginning you'll win some and lose some, but after a while you will settle in on the ads that at least break even and gain your site exposure and bookmarks.

This is an old mail order magazine ad trick from the 80's. First you try advertising your product in every magazine you think you have a shot at, then dump the ads that don't make money and stick with the magazines that bring in the customers. It's a year or two of hard time but then you will be prepared to Rock and Roll.

I'd snap it up mate. :)
