Links That Are Too Cheap???
I was sent an email in the week, offering a cheap link building service. Here is the bulk of the email, less the company’s information
We are an expert link building firm which provides outsourcing services to a wide variety of agencies and clients globally.
We offer One-way thematic/contextual link development and have generated more than 2800 links in last 3 months. We presently service the expansive link requirements of 18 US and 7 UK based Online Marketing and Web Designing agencies.
I am writing to offer you our contextual link building service at an affordable price of USD5 per link (subject to a minimum order of 50 links).
We are so confident of our service quality that we offer 100% Service and Satisfaction Guarantee. We would deliver on what we commit (thematic one-way, no FFAs, unique IPs, no ‘no follow’, etc) – in short we would develop links that would pass maximum link juice.
Not only is our quality a notch above the rest, our client servicing is impeccable. We would send you periodic link reports and maintain the anonymity of our alliance. So, you can be absolutely sure that you have chosen the right outsourcing partner – that’s us. We will never give you a chance to rethink your decision!
To begin with, you can choose to test our service quality by ordering our Trial Pack Now (8 links for USD 50 only).
We are ready to start servicing your requirements and will look forward to become your trusted link building partner.
It sounds a good offer. Links from $5 a time from ‘maximum link juice‘ sites. But to me, it can not be all that it is made out to be. The cost of $5 per link is too cheap. Even a trial pack is offered of 8 links for $50. I can only assume they hope people buy that trial pack.
Why do I think it is so cheap? Well I often receive offers from people to include on my own websites links to their clients, in return for a payment. Exactly what the above is offering. But, for links on a basic PR2 / PR3 website, I can be offered £150 – 200 per link, if it is a whole page or a paragraph on the home page. Even just writing a page on a blog and linking once to a company earned me £30 per link earlier this week.
And I would not exactly call my pages ‘maximum link juice‘ pages. OK, there are not any ‘no follow’ tags etc. But they are not pages with huge page ranks. So if I can get £30 for a basic link off a blog, with the company sourcing the links also taking a fee, that must be costing the buying company far more than £50 per link. So what exactly does $5 get you a link from? I won’t be finding out. But thanks for the offer.
