Selling links - where?

[wolfadeus]

I have two websites with highly specific topics in well-competed subjects packed with unique information, both rank at PR5 on the homepage (personally, I don't care about PRs, but many people do).

Since both are in highly competitive fields, I don't get much traffic (less than 200 unique visitors a day on each), so I thought that I could sell banners from the homepage for a few dollars a day.

Does anybody know the best way of doing this? Identifying big players in the industry and e-mailing them politely?

The thing is that I would offer the first links in the HTML codes on a highly relevant website with only say 5 outbound links on the page - no spammy directory entry or anything. Therefore, it should be ideal for SEO despite of the low traffic to expect - will people recognize the value of the offer?

Do you want to sell ad-links?

[wolfadeus]

Yes - though the real value probably comes for SEO.

will people recognize the value of the offer?

No.
People looking for SEOable links will see mostly your PR5 green bar.

You can find a less targeted but still nice PR8 for 175$ and even a lot of PR5 sites for 25$.

If you are thinking about a few, few dollars, go away. You should better write some content and monetize your PR5 in the long term.

Thanks, Lexur. The long-term monetizing was the original plan, but I currently lack the time and thought a few dollars are better than no dollars.

I assume you mean 25 Dollars a month?
