I’ve just been in negotiations with someone who wanted to guest-post here for $30 per article (paid to me, not to the guest-poster), based on this site’s Page Rank of 3.
My Page Rank is higher than my daily traffic.
Since the articles would have been advertising for something or other, I was looking for a placement fee somewhat higher than $30. After all, anyone who thinks posting here would lead to sales, must be willing to believe other crazy things—like the Nigerian prince’s widow really does want to give them $25 million, for example. So I suppose it’s not surprising such people would use an obviously bogus metric like Page Rank to set rates.
I told them $30 didn’t come close to matching my rate schedule, and they didn’t ask what would, so I gather we’re at an impasse.
