why do you ask? do you provide link building services?

i think it depends on the project.

That depends on the links that I deliver. But the usual price is $10 a pop. That is for high quality, high pagerank links. The links are usually made by leaving comments on dofollow blogs.

And if the blog owner decides to change to nofollow, the link buyer is screwed. Which happens very often on dofollow blogs because they get spammed to death.

That depends on the quality of the comment. I have a do-follow blog and I approve sometimes comments that are really quality and not just spam. Of course I also take into consideration what type of sites are there. If are "bad neightborhood" or "useless sites" I will not approve the comment even if the comment is helpful.

You missed my point. Some blog owners will use dofollow to encourage comments. Once they get a lot of comments they may go back to nofollow. I see it happen a lot.

People are willing to pay for verified performance with link building so..

If you are starting out with this and want to get some good reviews then do it for a cheap price. You need a website for your service and reviews. Don't just rely on a forum such as this but encourage people to post good reviews in a forum like this then reprint them on your website with links to the forum post for verification.

After you get a good reputation your price can go up.

Work your a$$ off for people building links and in a short time you'll be in the game and worth higher prices.

Then you can outsource like everyone else in the link building business and easily make good on the margin.

Another good way to do this is register 5 domains in 5 different categories and build them up to pr5 or better then advertise how you did it via something like a case study etc.

If you can do this and provide proof then people will be offering your all kinds of cash to do it for them.

The big problem I have with link building services is they never offer any examples just a bunch of BS about what they can do.
