How much is a link worth?
November 16th, 2007
There are many free tools which told you how much money worth a link in your blog, but one that I like the most is the Link Price Calculator from CelebrityContest.net. This tool estimates the value of a link depending on various SEO and webmasters factors, like Page Rank, Alexa rank, Yahoo! inbound links, HTML/content ratio or outbound links.
Even if you want to sell a link or if you want to buy one, this tool is very useful. You can find the price for a link on the home page or a link placed site wide. You can also find the price for a regular text link or for a link placed in a blog post (a link in a blog post has a higher value and impact on Search Engines). If you want to buy a link on another blog, you can choose how related is that blog to yours: totally unrelated, partially related or exactly the same topic.
But what I like the most is the legend given by this tool, where you can find out some of the reason of this price.
I used this tool to find out how much is a link worth on my blog’s home page. Well, a regular text link on my homepage is $11 and a link in a blog post is $14. Why? You can see in the legend below:
If you click on the red numbers, you will see where these numbers come from.
Let’s see: my blog is visible, Yahoo encounter a lot of backlinks, which is very good, but I have also 3 bad points. On Page Rank and Alexa Ranking I can make some improvements to increase them, but what can I do with the outbound links? Because I need them all on the first page 
And it seems that this can categorize my first page like a spammy one 
which, of course, it is not.
As you can see there are more SEO tools in one, so if you want to know how much is a link worth, you will find out more information about your site or about the site from where you want to buy the link. And this can save you some time.
How did you establish how much a link is worth on your page? Did you use some tools or you just establish the price “by ear”?

I tested the tool with my site, $5/Month? What a joke. I wouldn’t even fire up my source code editor for that money to insert a link.
Buying links is for loosers. You couldn’t buy a link from my website for any money in the world.
