    I am curious what is a reasonable price to charge? for a alexa rank of 200,000?
    I want to open spaces on the left side and the right side, and one leaderboard on the top of the page.

    I want to know what prices I should send my advertisers, I dont wanna shoot too high and I dont wanna shoot way to low where I don't make a decent amount.

    PM ME estimates.


    thanks

    Whats your site? Alexa rank alone means little, you might want to use it in conjunction with PR score, number of page views and Content.

    I would say whatever AdSense will give you, not too many people looking to "BUY" adspace on a 200,000 Alexa ranked site, well let me take that back...
    I don't put much stock in Alexa, I would be more inclined to ask what kind of ads you are selling. If you are a PR4 and selling dofollow text links go to the link sales section and see what other pr4 sites are selling links for and there you have it.

    Well, go to BST and look for market price there. (of course after you can open it)
    That is one of the best way to estimate a price

    Price is depend on many factor such as your daily unique visitor and what is the size of the banner space.
    Your can take your monthly adsense earning as a based charging rate for that purpose.

    Always difficult to price ads. If I were buying I'd be more interested in you traffic than PR.

    As with most things advertising is worth what people are willing to pay for it.

    An Alexa rank of 200,000 doesn't really mean anything. You can send $100 worth of junk traffic and get even better results. Share some more details please.

    Can't only rely on Alexa to decide the price. There are also several factors out there eg traffic and content.

    Formation of pricing for ads on a web site depends on different parameters such as traffic, pageviews, clicks and others. You may compare the prices of the Google Adsense and yours. If you want to attract advertisers I recommend that you set lower prices then Google Adsense otherwise it won't be gainful for them to advertise on your web site. For example you may set up $0.05 cents per 1000 impressions.

    It is not possible to say, "Hey, my site has an Alexa of XXX and a PR of X, how much should I charge for ads?".

    There are so many factors that will change how much advertising is worth to someone. Consider what kind of value your traffic has, and consider how much that traffic is worth to someone who can use that traffic.

    For example, advertising for overseas holidays on an SEO site is completely pointless, the traffic has no purpose at all. However, if the owner of an SEO product wanted to advertise, I would charge a premium rate.

    Even then, I have several websites that are 200k alexa +, and I dont sell ad space on any of them, because an Alexa of 200k still doesnt really mean that much traffic. What you charge on is the quality of traffic to the advertiser, nothing more nothing less.

    you should just base it on adsense earnings as a start. if you are asking my to pay a lot i could just select your site as my adwords content page and get it cheaper so remember that.
    otherwise just 200000 alexa means nothing. how much traffic do you get? how long do they stay and what is your niche?

    You should provide information on your visitors, how many per month? Pageviews? Time spent on site/individual pages? Countries/languages? Sources (organic, social network, etc.)? For more serious ad space selling you should have info such as your average visitors' gender and age at the very least. Just plain Alexa rank doesen't mean much when were talking at around 200.000 and site/page PR even less.
