How much would you be willing to pay per published guest post?
-
Suppose you hired a company that could write and publish an unlimited number of quality guest articles on relevant sites. How much would you be willing to pay for each guest post?
-
I have used some sources where it costs $200 per 950+ word article....
...and they are all ranking well.
Remember, quality doesn't come cheap.

The key words used here are quality and relevant. For us (we have copywriters on board) as we see our need for more and more blogs, pages, etc. we will likely outsource some of that content. If someone were writing for one of our client sites, say medical equipment sales, and they could write relevant posts of at least 200 words we would likely pay $25 to $50 depending on the sites they were published to and the quality of the article/post. Obviously, the anchor text and links would have to be there as well.
We do occasionally pay more when we know the writer and have seen quality from them before.Hope this helps.
Edit (By more, I mean up to $100 per).

That seems really vague but the rock bottom seems to be around $15/published post on a PR2 blog.

Link Building Techniques: Guest Blogging - Is it Okay or Not?
I was reading this page here: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356 "[...]Buying or selling links that pass PageRank. This includes exchanging money for links, or posts that contain links; exchanging goods or services for links; or sending someone a “free” product in exchange for them writing about it and including a link." So assuming you provide high quality guest posts to high quality blogs, is it okay or not to use this method as a link building technique?

Footer Links when is it to much?
Hi, so iv been searching around the internet, and I have come up with the general consensus that footer links that link to external sites are bad? Can anyone verify this statement? Also when do Footer links become spammy, and what is your opinion on site wide footer links? I have also read that if you are a bigger brand, that you most likely would be able to get away with some more things(such as, linking to external sites) thanks for your help. Peter

Will a link from a competitor help me to out rank them?
Greetings mozers, One of my competitors and I both rank on the first page for our main keyword. They have 37k+ links, me only like 300 or so. My company actually has a business location though. This other site is just a listing of locations and they build sites for most of my competitors. If I were able to get listed on their site, would that make me a stronger competitior with them? And we would probably only get a brand term link from them but not a main keyword anchor text. Will it be as effective to get the link from them if it's only for my brand name? Thanks, Cy

What are the pros and cons of having comments posted on your blog?
I get a lot of spammy comment comments to my blog which I trash, but I'm also particular about the comments I allow. How do the search engines regard these comments, should I allow more to be posted as it looks like I'm getting more traffic.And by posting these comments, who benefits from the backlinks?

How Many Backlinks Per Day
I am starting to do some manual back-linking for a medium competition word with high traffic. I plan to start back linking with like niche blogs with non spam comments, like niche directories, like niche forums, and guest blogging. My domain is over 3 years old and ranks for multiple keywords, but I'm going to concentrate specifically on this keyword, but need to know how many links to back-link a day. Again none of these will be spam, but will be of real quality. I was thinking 10-20 a day, but unsure.
