Are Link Building Services Underpaid?

Does those who get under paid only get under paid because their services are lower quality?

Can you provide high quality back linking services and get paid about $10 an hour?

 

In a previous life, I worked as a link builder for $10 an hour, plus a $5 bonus per link. Those were the days before social bookmarking, forum posting, and blog commenting links became a "normal" way of link building.

 

How do you define quality backlink?PR 5 and above?
Nowday people is not based on per hour basic.
People more willing to pay for per link basic.

 

I do a lot of link building work now, and I find it is relatively well paid if you deliver quality to your customers! I would say it is possible to get paid $10 per hour and provide high PR backlinks

 

There are too many "link builder" available now, and you can still get more than $10 per hour if you can do better than others
Sad to say the most of the "link builder" are not giving a quality link

 

No. Consumers are only willing to pay a certain amount, so prices can only go so high.

 

I really don't think there are hourly rates for link builders, unless you work for someone else or a corporation. Then they would pay you hourly, or put you on a salary.

Me, for example, i provide a service, a complete backlink building service and get paid for the service - whether it be $30, $400 or $800 - all depends on the customers budget and how big of a package they are looking for.

Lots of the time, I let the client decide how much they want to pay me. I do give them a starting point to work with and they usually meet me within that price range. Those that know about what quality and credible backlink building consists of will pay you and pay you very good. Those that don't know, want it really cheap, or free. Sometimes I offer my service free, as a way of giving back and showing you that my services work and that I'm here to help.

But, any time, most of the time, but not all of the time - if you buy cheap services, you are going to get CHEAP RESULTS.

By the way, I build backlinks by way of Article Marketing - just incase you were wondering.

 

Excellent reply GuruCreation. I too wonder about these kind of services, your reply really made sense.

 

Thanks Jacquem!

I know I probably made it sound very easy when it comes to Article Marketing to build backlinks, but in all reality, you just can't slap any old article together, submit it to any old directory and expect to get any type of results. You are most likely going to get that backlink, but there is far more you can get with Article Marketing than just a backlink.

Anyway, no hourly link builder here.... Sorry, don't do it.

 

In answer to the original question of are they underpaid?

No. If they're willing to accept the work, then they're paid what they deserve.

I know it sounds kind of harsh, but the market determines the value.


On the other hand, if I were making an income by providing a backlinking service. I'd make sure that I was providing a QUALITY service (i.e. NOT spamming a bunch of comment boxes on non-relevant sites) and I'd look for clients that VALUED what I had to offer and were willing to pay for it. If there weren't any out there that were willing to pay for it, then I'd find a service that others DID value enough to pay for.

 

Very Nice! QUALITY by all means...

Authority and Credible as well.
