I got an e-mail today asking about "advertising opportunities" on one of my blogs. I'd like to respond with a quote, but I don't know what a fair amount to ask would be. This is my personal blog, where I post some photos, personal ramblings and news bits I find interesting. Not surprisingly, it only has about 25 visitors a day. It does currently have a Google page rank of 4. I assume that the person who sent the ad query knows the PR but not the traffic. So, what should I ask for an ad? Is $5 per month too high?
Don't offer yourselves for the amount of clicks you get,accept the contract if he wishes to pay you for a month or something like that
I'd say between $5-15/month. Settle on a number by yourself and stick with it. He doesnt need to know the amount of traffic that is really coming through. Most likely the advertising wont become a repeat.
I sold pr 4 links at $5 monthly without problem, depend the type of customer on dp prices are low, on ebay higher. Traffic is an added bonus but I think the $5 monthly it's right.
