    I have a video site and I want to allow people to pay to have there video posted and promoted on the site.

    I am going to give 20,000 views but I am not sure how much I should charge. Anyone have a ballpark idea?

    Are you serious?
    People paid you in order to post their video at your site?
    Why don't they post their video at youtube?
    The view is around $10 for 15000 view by unique IP

    I agree... why wouldn't they just post on youtube, megavideo or countless other FREE video websites? How will you market this, what extra benefit will you be giving them?

    Ah, I understand. Sorry I misinterpreted. So you mean promoting to the front page of your video site?

    If that is the case then yes it will depend on the traffic to your site. I would agree with the ballpark given by mentos - about $10 for 15k... although I have seen someone on DP advertising 50k pageviews for $12.
