    I have a wedding forum that gets about 1.1 mil pageviews and 36k UV a month. I would like to have about 5-8 125 x 125 button ads on my forum and am trying to figure how much to charge.

    should i just have a flat rate for each add throughout the forum or charge for forum specific ads?

    A social networking site on ebook writing that I belong to sells 125x125 ads for $30.00. The site is only 2-3 months old and doesn't yet have 50 members.

    You have LOTS more traffic, so I'm thinking nearly 3 times what he charges is what you should be able to get each month.

    I plan to buy for that other site a button that's visible on EVERY page, down the right column. But he also sells a front page / half-way down ad for about $80/month. That's a good placement, but I prefer being visible on every page down the right column.

    Why don't you surf around to similar sites as yours, check their Google PR, and then see what they're charging?

    Best,
