Hi I'm looking to sell ad space on my forum. I'm planning on selling a few 125 x 125 spots on my global header. My site is brand new but I have traffic coming from an old site of mine. The traffic each month is around 1000 visitors. How much would you say is a fair price to start off with considering it's not a lot of traffic.
Depends to on your niche. For that I'd say something around $20-$50 is fair enough. For the exact price you might want to scout your competitor sites
This is a good suggestion at the end... why not email your competitors like you'd like to have a space to put your AD?
You can actually refer some similar offer at dp BST section. For 1000 traffic per day, I estimate you can get $5-$10 per month
With a bit of luck you can get 15-20 dollars per month. Better try Adsense on it and see how much it makes per month, double it and ask for that.
I have a site that is averaging about 700 unique visitors per day, and it is in a very narrow niche. I sell text ads, similar to Google AdWords ads, on a subscription basis for about $20 per month.
Guys, you need to be telling us how many page views you get? Ads normally work on a CPM basis - so a typical eCPM might be $5 per 1000 impressions. If you have a thousand visitors but only 1,500 page impressions - thats not great, but if you have a thousand visitors and 10,000 page impressions, thats much better - see?
