Mahalo Pricing Plan Revealed; "Cheap Hotels City Name" Pays Best

Last week we wrote about the new payment plan being instituted by Mahalo. Today Mahalo has revealed the pages that are currently paying the highest, and the price for every page they are looking to create. Here is how the Community Manager explains the pricing change, "We look at the demand for the search term, the size of the serp, and the amount of research (time) one might need to spend to do it justice. So, the lower priced SeRPs *take less time to do.* This is a critical point -- it means that stubs (very short SeRPs with a handful of links) are now open for the Greenhouse to create."

Stubs are getting in the $1 per pricing just for quick Google rankings for Mahalo. Looks like the average is about $5-7/page. There are 1400 pages listed in the system to be created.

Here are the highest priced pages - those at $12-15/page (many of the "location hotels" are paying $12/page):

• Seville Restaurants (along with nearly every other big city in the world)
• Cheap Hotels Marrakesh
• Cheap Hotels Kobe
• Cheap Hotels XYZ City (I count about 40 other cities)
• Cheap Hotels Auckland
• Dynasty Warriors 6
• IFC Entertainment
• Sony Pictures Classics
• Warner Independent Pictures
• Picturehouse
• COX Inhibitors
• Allegra
• PGA Tour
• Mixed Martial Arts
• The Art of Power

For the $1/page, I note that EVERY car make and model is listed. Each option package also has a separate page (i.e. Camry XE has a different page than Camry SE), most major universities, every country in the world, along with every wrestler you could imagine. Other notables below $10 include:

• Miss America
• Miss USA
• GigaOM
• Nikolai Volkoff
• King Kong Bundy
• Der Spiegel
• Joseon Dynasty
• George IV of England (along with every other George)
• Henry V of England (along with every other Henry)
• Ramada International (along with every other hotel chain in the world)

Should Mahalo be considered a blog/wiki in the eyes of Google - meaning quick rankings like a blog gets?
