Is $5 per link "worth it"....In one word, yes. Here's why:Please put this $5 charge in perspective. Let's use Overture.com, the largest pay-per-click search engine, as a comparative example. Overture's lowest bid is 5 cents per click. For most popular terms, 5 cents won't even get a site on the first page of results. It often takes a 25 cent or more bid to be listed in the coveted top three slots. After 101 clicks from a link partner, your "cost per click" from that link becomes lower than the cost of the lowest bid on Overture. If you are used to paying 25 cents on Overture, then it only takes 21 clicks to reduce the cost per click from a link to less than what you pay on Overture. Now, once a click is in place, it tends to stay there, indefinitely, driving traffic AT NO ADDITIONAL COST in to the future. If you stop paying Overture, they stop sending traffic! Links just keep on working for you. What's more, links are truly assets of your business. They add value to your website. Finally, (and we make no guarantees about this in any manner), good linking has been known to dramatically improve search engine results. We have several clients who have gone from from "not listed" into the top three positions on Google, in a matter of a couple months. We have clients that pay nothing for marketing except good linking, and they enjoy tens of thousands of clicks per month. The traffic that results from good linking practices can be enormous, and it can reduce the cost-per-click of a linking program to effective cost-per-click rates that are just fractions of a cent. While we cannot guarantee traffic results, we have seen this work time and again, in ways that are remarkable.Can you "do it yourself" for $5 per link.At first glance, it seems that way. Linking looks easy. It's not. The fact is, earning a lot of links is hard, detail-oriented work that takes a very well managed data management system to handle the flood of data that it takes to find link prospects, manage the links pages, and manage the request process. This is why most "homegrown" link programs fall apart. It becomes too time consuming and detail-oriented, especially when there are other tasks to manage with a business. There is an enormous amount of background work in that $5. Most service providers charge $15 to $30 per link earned. We are, by far, the lowest cost provider in this business. One reason is because we focus on particular industries. We already have the link data in hand for those industries. Most others work "one client at a time", and do not enjoy the benefits of an "industry focus". They have to go out and get the link data first. Second, because of our large link networks, we have access to a steady flow of new linking prospects that "do it yourself" programs don't have. Finally, before we offered these services to the public, we spent 18 months developing highly-sophisticated data management processes to help us manage all aspects of this work. We are fairly confident that our our competitors have not made this substantial investment, and thus, their prices represent manual data management methods. We used to do it that way, too. It's the "hard way". The bottom line is this... There is simply no other web marketing investment that compares to the value of good linking. Thanks!
