I mention this because someone recommended Reverse Links to me as a way of getting paid for links.
On taking a look, however, I decided that it wasn't for me. The reason being was because I felt that, what they were offering, wasn't enough in a monetary sense.
All that I could see on offer were offers for permanent links - i.e. they have to remain on the blog or website for life.
The payments offered were relative to the PageRank. In the examples I saw these were $3 for PR2, $5 for PR3, $10 for PR4, $20 for PR5, $50 for PR6 and so on.
Now most blogs range from PR0 to PR5, few are above this (Mikes Money Making Mission is a PR5), so to my way of thinking these amounts aren't sufficient for permanent links. If this was a monthly rate it would be more realistic.
I don't believe that bloggers should sell themselves short. In fact, never sell yourself short. I learnt this many years ago. I published a mail order newsletter that didn't do that well. Someone with vast experience of M.O. told me to put the price up. I did and the subscriptions increased. Same newsletter but more value was associated with the content.
Back to those permanent links. In the Reverse Links terms it states 'If for any reason you want to remove these links, you must let us know by email, and refund the full price of the link.' Another reason as to why the offers don't appeal to me.
What I suggest, as I have done previously, is that bloggers have their own prices for links and cut out the middle man. The same even for reviews. This way you keep the lot and decide the price - much better!
Good luck,
Mike.
