Is Google Mini Link Worth $1,995?

By chuckaikens · Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

When You buy A Google Mini, your company receives a free link on Google.com page that has a PR7 rating. Here is the page -> http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/success_stories.html

1.Paying this much money for a link may or not be a good idea. Google has been penalizing sites that actively buy and sell links for the purpose of manipulating Page Rank. But it seems like the going rate for PR7 site might be between $200 - $300 per month.

2. This is not a fee for a link, this is a software/server purchase for a Google Search Appliance called Google Mini.

3. While this seems appealing, there is no guarantee from Google (unless it is actually in the contract) for them to list UDR.com on the product listing pages. The other problem is that the more sales they make, the more links on the page….therefore, less link popularity.

So, if you want to buy Google Search technology…I think the $1,995 is a fair, if not good, price. The fact it might get you a high PR link on Google is a huge bonus. Unless, Google could have an internal setting not to count the PR in the favor of clients, which would not really be that hard to do internally for Google.
