I'm Confused???

[20kSuccessStory]

Hi all,

A few days ago, I posted on BHW to find guest blog posts for my websites.

I received some decent responses, and most people provided a correct list of niche sites that matched my requirements.

I collected all the data into one sheet, organized by each seller and member, including every site along with their metrics and prices.

Now the problem is................

Some of those websites have already been provided by others as well?

How does this happen?

Additionally, they are offering guest posts on the same websites at many different prices.

I'm totally confused.

I once bought a link directly from the website owner for $25. A few months later, some random person emailed me offering links on a bunch of their sites. I even found the website where I bought a link before, and now they’re selling it for $150 per post. The markup is just crazy.

These link sellers are distributors of same stockist. Think of it like it. Actual links come from proper outreach

Sellers are mostly selling links on sites they don't own, sometimes, they don't even buy it from the site itself, but from another reseller.
If you want to do the legwork, you are free to reach out to the site owners in these lists by yourself, but you might not get the volume discount many seller get, and might even beed to pay more that the list price (which includes the sellers' cut).

The bottom line is that links from sites that are featured on lists are far less valuable because there's no barrier of entry, everyone can get a link for a pretty insignificant amount.
You'll probably get more cost effective results from outreaching yourself or have someone do it for you, find sited that don't have too many guestposts already.

Happens in all business. He is also spending on marketing. Though, I do not justify the price but when we ourselves become seller, we start thinking more about own profit.

Thank you. Yes. In here I faced this issue.

Thank you. Yes. That correct.

Thank you. The problem isn’t actually the price. The issue is determining who the real person offering a permanent backlink is. Let’s say I receive an offer for $500 for a guest post from someone, but someone else is selling it for $150. So, who should I trust in this situation?

This is the problem I’m facing now after receiving multiple messages from members on BHW. All of them are Jr. VIP members.

Maybe you got the same messages from 1 specific group or organization. You just need to filter them out yourself.

In most cases, both have access to the site owner or one of their resellers. The price is affected by a sellers's profit margin and the price they get to post on the site. The farther the seller from the owner, the more people that are taking a cut, the price gets higher.
