Selling Ad Space on My Website?

by Mike Hlatky
7 replies
Today I received an email from a company that is interested in have a text link on my website and I have no prior experience with this.

I would definitely like to sell some ad space but I really don't know how much a good deal would be. They said that they would like to pay an annual free upfront , which sounds fine to me

I average 60-65000 uniques a month
Around 180-200000 pageviews per month

The website is in the videogame niche.

Any idea how much the ad space is worth?

    Do they want you to place it on all the pages or just one page? Is it just a text link or a banner? Where you going to place the ad? (sidebar, footer etc.) What's your PR? I'd ask $10 / day, may be it's too low though considering your stats.

    The problem with this is that this is EXTREMELY broad.

    60 to 65000 is a big difference. The biggest thing is be straight-up and up-right with potential. If you aren't getting a lot of traffic then say so - but then provide him/her with ways for you to get more.

    As far as charging - where on your website are you putting it? Is it an image? How big is it?

    I'd find similar sites to yours and find out how much they charge, then base your rates on that

      I read this as 60k-65K per month not 60-60,000.
      Just my 2 cents
