My site gets 4,500 UV a month. The traffic is high quality guitar lesson targeted search engine traffic. I think it's not easy to get this traffic. What is this traffic worth? What should I charge for a text link (no do follow) on my high traffic pages. It would be located near the top where it would get many hits. However, adwords offers guitar targeted traffic for probably a dollar a click. Which is a better deal adwords or 50 dollars a month for an ad on my site? How many buyers could I get. I'd like to get 10 so I'd have a good income coming in every month. My pages have front page ranking for terms like "power chord chart", "guitar fretboard chart", "printable guitar lessons" and "basic guitar chord chart". Actually basic guitar chord chart was very popular a few months back. I'm also on the top of the 5th page for "guitar chord chart" which is a highly competitive term. I'm working on a first page ranking for that. I used this site as a guide for pricing? Should I? http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/738116.html One site charged $50 for 320 unique visitors per day. Why would Collegesportscareers charge that amount?
well, you can just place google adsense and see how much are you getting out of it per month and then try to get a private advertiser to pay maybe %20 more that what you get out of adsense. As far as textlinks go, their price is also determined by the page rank you are selling the text link on, a higher page rank would suggest a higher price.
What about this site? http://www.RetroFootballTShirts.co.uk The following site said that $100 a month was a good price for a site getting 5,794 UV a month. Is that a high paying niche or something? Is that price worth it? What do you all think? http://forums.ukwebmasterworld.com/...861-how-much-should-i-charge-advertising.html

$50 sounds more than fair for a site with 4500 visits/month. since you dont plan on dofollow though, i advise you open your methods up to banner advertising - advertisers want graphical links not just text links
Yeah but do banner advertisements work? Studies say they don't. But sure I'll do banner ads if people will pay.
well just open up your offers. make an advertising section offering different types and see if you get any takers. i'm a bit suprised you've taken your site so far with such little knowledge of marketing. stop looking for answers and do it!
