How much should i charge for homepage ad?

I have a new directory (pr1) and i have had several people wanting to buy homepage ads.

What is a fair price for text link ads and 125x125 banner ads?

thanks.

 

Really? Why don't you ask them to make an offer.

 

charge as much as a new BMW X6 and be happy for the rest of your life.

 

Why do you waste our time by posting useless crap?

 

because I am sick of the threads like this.

You can sell an ad based on:

nofollow / do follow
traffic
position of the ad
PageRank if you sell links
Niche
number of the ads on that page
ad size
etc

You question was too wide, and too odd and too boring.
If you are happy with the amount of money you get for that ad, go for it. If not, negotiate. You are the one who worked on your directory and you should know how much can charge for you skin

Oh and... I am stressed

 

Its always a good idea to start from cheap and then raise your prices comparing to start a high price and then lowering it (if you dont find advertisers).

As an advertiser, I wouldnt personally pay more than $10/month for a 125x125 ad on a new directory's homepage and that is if the directory has some decent traffic

 

start with minimum price then gradually inrease the according to the response.

 

Thanks! I think I'll start at 10$ a month and see what happens.

 

hahahaha.. that made me laugh. It says I can't give you green, or else I surely would have for this!

 

Good luck

How come on this thread you say no porn.

But your latest link is dvd porno.
<edit> he's removed it.

Why should anybody advertise with you when you have no integrity?

 

maybe he started not accepting porn links after that last link was submitted.

i think you should tone down your hostility toward everyone

 

Yes of course, why didn't I think of that.

If you're referring to this thread then I don't see any hostility, only unanswered questions.

 

I will offer F``K A`L

Will you consider that please

Thank You

 

That will depend on many variables, the position of the ad, the number of ads in the section, your unique visitors, and many other things.

the other side of the coin is the ads being placed, if no work is done in getting the rite ad you also are wasting your money.

Many people have big idea's on what they THINK their site is worth and often over value the ad spot then wonder why no body returns. Good advertisers will quickly pull up stumps on any site not working and only the fools will continue to pay high prices for no or little return.

Put up some adsense on your site or similar and see what the market will pay for your site, that would be a good indicator.

 

I think it's depend on :
1. where ad you will locate
2. page rank
3. page views per day
4. unique visitor per day
