As you probably know linkbuilding is a vital part of getting a good position in the search engines. The higher Google PageRank the page has where your link is at, the better rank does your page get which increases your search engine position. Therefore it is better for you to have your link on pages with high Google PageRank. For some this is of course very important, so important that they are willing to pay for it. Therefore, this also means that if you have a page with a good Google PageRank, people will be willing to pay to get their link on your site. You need at least PageRank 4 (out of 10) to make any money from selling text links.

You can choose to sell links yourself or have a text link broker do that for you. If you sell it yourself you will of course get all the money but need to put a lot of effort in the selling. With a broker, you have to give the broker some percentage but on the other hand you save a lot of time.

To know what prices to set for the links you can simply see what kind of prices the broker sells them for. To reach break-even in you selling the links yourself compared to a broker you probably need a site with at least PageRank 6 or 7.

To find different brokers just google “text link broker” and you will get more to choose from than necessary. Good luck!

As you might know, linkbuilding works, but when it comes to the result from searches on Google you also have to consider the PageRank of the pages linking to you. The PageRank is Google’s own system to value pages at a site and they rate all pages on Internet from 1 to 10.

To see the PageRank of every page on the Internet, you can download and install the Google Toolbar. If it doesn’t appear directly after your installation, you find it under Settings – Options in the toolbar.

The importance of the PageRank is that when Google, when you make a search, determines what the most relevant result is considered the appearance of text, they then multiply that value with the pages PageRank. So even if you should come out as No. 1 in the search result, with a low PageRank you might not end up on the first page of search results.

The PageRank a page on your site gets is related to what the PageRanks are at the sites that link to you. If you only have pages linking to you with a PageRank 1 that will not help you get a higher PageRank. But if you get links from pages with PageRank 7 or 8, your site will get a higher rank and perform better in the search engines. It is estimated that pages linking to you need a PageRank 4 to be able to boost your own PageRank, so good luck.
