$50 for a link on ibm.com -- Worth it?

We have a contractor offering us a do-follow link on the IBM website for $50

DA = 98

PA (of home page) = 96

Moz Rank = 7.45

Would be a blog article on an inner page

Worth it?

You're not being offered a blog post. Here's how I know:

1. If it were possible, a lot of people who sell blog posts here would be selling it, and they're not.
2. $50 is way, way too cheap.
 
Where did you find him and how did you come into contact with him?

Upwork contractor. We posted an advertisement in the category for writing jobs looking for people who have personal websites.

Trying to ask her for samples of past articles. Supposedly a content writer who works for them rather than an SEO consultant.

Is that profile link?
It's supposedly a full article (meaning not a profile / Paul and Angela link). Asking contractor for details.

If you're looking for a content writer, I'm your guy. Shoot me a PM about that and also a PM if she sends samples. I want to say be careful with this sort of thing.

We've got content writing covered. With that ad posting, we were mostly trying to find writers with connections to bigger websites rather than to actually get content writing.

And yes, being careful is important. Have been experimenting with trying to find writers with connections instead of working with SEO consultants and for sure at least half of them either know nothing or think they have a much better hook-up than they really do. Plus of course some scammers.

Will let you know if she sends some IBM samples.
 
One more detail I'd pay attention to: No orphan pages. It certainly won't be one ot two clicks from the homepage, but it must be reachable via the normal nagivation in some way.
