Anyone that tells you they can get you a link on Forbes for a few hundred dollars is full of complete shit. The value of that "spot" for the contributor is PRICELESS. There are so many circle jerk middlemen trying to sell links....they get your money then reach out to every contributor and spam the fuck out of them with "Hi sir plz sell me most awwsuuumm link - I will even write a no spunned article for free"
If you REALLY want a link on Forbes (and have it stick) then be prepared to pay $1,200 - $1,500 - and that is to link an inner page with a generic term link "as seen here" - not a "make money online" keyword heavy anchor.
Ahh, authority link selling. Such a racket where contributors and editors are all in on the action
(making more money selling links than running their business)

I'm really just looking for the SEO boost and to be able to say as seen on forbes on the main site. For me traffic from the article would'nt really convert into money.

How much is worth such a link? Would it be able to to increase ranking for medium terms a lot?

Ask Pat Flynn.
He got plenty of links from them, to several of his money sites.
If I had a business that would benefit from a feature like that, I would gladly pay $10k+, and not just for the link value. A feature on Forbes is credibility-in-a-box.

A legit link from forbes would cost a decent bit of cash, if you can even find the opportunity to get a post available (that sticks)!
Might be an easier route to seek domains with links from forbes

Be cheaper to don a cheap polyester suit and tie, and get a job as a lowly paid reporter. Once you're in, then PM me!

My opining it worth if you do it for business not SEO .
For example you ask to but you on top list of hosting company or best diet protect In that case you you can get your money back very fast .
BTW this is not new look at big names like godaddy hostgator etc they do it all the time and succeed .

The price varies from $650 - $1k and that too if your site is non commercial. Also you do not get link on desire keyword, generic keyword linking has more chance of approval and stick rate.
Frankly I won't invest that much in one link for SEO. I would divide many others links in that price

Have you tried ordering those GP on Forbes and you get you article published? I heard there are a lot of scammers offering those links and then they just disappear with the money and never deliver the posts.
It's really hard to find honest and reliable author for those premium sites. Does anyone have any success working with a paid author?

I'm surprised by the number of people dismissing these links. A contextual link from forbes survives any update and is as bulletproof for your business and SEO as it gets. I wouldn't be surprised if large corporations paid tens of thousands in schmoozing for high authority press.
My guess is that the big corporations hire or have their own PR agency that do exactly what you said, spend thousands on smoozing. Not buying links, but pretty much are.
I've been doing a lot of following of media and journalists over the last few months and you can see some brands just seem to have an in, while us small guys have to do everything we can to try and get on there. It kinda sucks.
It's not so much the link that's valuable, it's only valuable if the article is popular. You can get a link on an article that gets no attention, that link has little value, Frobes, Huff, whatever. Get a link in an article that gets 500 shares and links from another 20 websites, and that link is great.
But what if this guy gets caught, or Google some how finds out. That money is wasted and you possibly get penalized. I've contemplated some big name links, but so far haven't. If I had a big budet I'd think about it, but I think $500+ could probably be spent better else where.
I have a friend that got mentioned in an WSJ article, and it ended up making him $20,000 in the long run.
