Text links

what are they worth?

[buksida]

We've had several people wanting to buy text links on a number of sites that I manage. I'm not sure what they're worth though, we'd be charging on a monthly basis.

Can anyone give me a rough idea for what to charge for a textlink on PR7,6 and 5 sites.

Cheers.

Ask each of them what they were intending to pay for the links?

At least that will give you a starting point for negotiation.

That's good advice from Ronin. Also, study what similar sized sites in your industry are charging for text links. You can always set a certain price and if it's too low then you'll know. You'll find a perfect balance of the right number of advertisers and the correct price after a few months.

p.s. Pricing isn't just dependent on your PR, the volume and quality of your traffic matters a great deal too.
