One of the greatest new ways to advertise is to sponsor a blog post.

What does this mean?

When you sponsor a blog post you receive a complete blog post dedicated to your sites keywords. The keywords are used various time throughout the post to create relativity. You select an anchor text (keyword) to be used as a link to your site or page. This creates a topic orientated inbound link to your site. This also scores points with google.

The blog post should not be an advertisement type post, but rather an informative post about the topic, product or service with a keyword link to your site. You will want to stay away from lines like “The Best…” , “wow look here” and so on.

Blog posts are much more valuable than regular links. While a regular inbound link is good and will help your site, a blog post that is structured around your sites keywords is of greater value due to the context.

How much should I pay to sponsor a blog post?

On an average most blog posts can be purchased for as little as $3.00. This would give you a keyword structured blog post with a keyword anchor text link to your site or page. Now for a blog post on a site with a google PR the price would increase accordingly. If you are not skilled in writing or just don’t have the time to write your own post most sites will offer a writing service and complete the post for you. If the blog post is supplied for you this would also increase the price by a few dollars.

Lets use the following as a guideline:

$3.00 - Blog Post Sponsorship
$1.50 / Per  Link
$1.00 / Per PR#
$1.50 / Per 100 words

Using the above guide lets say we want to sponsor a blog post on a PR3 site and would like it to be 200 words with 2 links to our site.

$3.00 For the blog post
$3.00 For 2 links
$3.00 For PR3 placement
$3.00 For 200 words
————————–
Total Cost: $12.00

Using the above guide again lets say we want to sponsor a blog post on a non-pr site with 1 link and we will supply our own text.

$3.00 For blog post
$1.50 For link
$0.00 For non-pr placement
$0.00 We supply the text
———————————
Total Cost: $4.50

As you can see the price for sponsoring a blog post can vary pending on what is to be included. 

Although sponsoring a blog post is most valuable to your site, don’t get caught overpaying.
