I'm not exactly sure if this is the best place to put this topic, and if it isn't, I'd appreciate it if an admin could move it. I am in the market to start selling advertisements on my website. It's a forum board, with over 1500 members, 160k posts, that is a general talking board that came together because of an interest in gaming. My Alexa Rank is 94,516. I get around 1000uniques a day, and over 3 million hits a month. Someone who is knowledgeable, can I have an estimate of what you think would be a good amount to sell monthly ads for for multiple sizes? I appreciate all the help, thanks. Stephen
I've seen ads' price ranges go from 150 to 250 dollars in websites like the one you are describing, but I'm not 100% sure on this.
Germz seems to have it about right from what I've heard and seen in the past. You might consider using an agency. I know a lot of the really big sites (perezhilton, icanhascheezburger, etc) use an agency to sell space for them for the right amount.
I'm sorry, but with only 1,000 a day, you are not going to get much. I don't know, maybe...a couple of hundred a month. Work on buidling your traffic, and keep them coming back.
I agree with Perry I think it may be best to try and sell an affiliate product in your advertising space as the returns may be higher. Hard to know without seeing your site.
