How much should i charge for a backlink?

Hey everyone,

I've been doing link-building through HARO, Connectively, and journalist outreach for a while now. On average, I'm getting about a 20% conversion rate, with backlinks that have a DR around 75 and traffic over 70k.

The thing is, I'm earning more from this side gig than my main job (which isn't saying much since I'm in a third-world country). Now, I'm seriously thinking about making this my full-time gig. But here's where I'm stuck, I have no idea what to charge for these backlinks. I've been working through middlemen and they pay peanuts for the quality of links they are getting, but I feel like I could do better on my own.

I've tried Upwork, but haven't had much success there, and I've had a few clients recently just ghost me after the work was done, which is super frustrating. I'm trying to figure out how to level up in this world. Should I be looking to land a job with an agency (had no luck, got many rejections because they don't hire from my part of the world) or is there a better way to get my own clients directly?

Really need some direction and clarity, and looking forward to your comments.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
