How much to charge for site advertising?

[tinggg]

Hi

I’ve been contacted by a large online dating site wanting to add a site wide static text link from one of my sites to their’s.

They want to know how much I would charge to do this; I have not done this before so have no idea, can anyone help with rates for a site wide static text link?

The site they want to put the ad only get about 100 visits per month.

Many thanks

Go for $10 USD I think this will be a fair price for such a big company as you say and for the amount of visitors you receive.
I'm not an expert on this but you can give it a try right And with only 100 visitors per month i don't think you will be leaving any money on the table with $10 monthly.

Hi

Thanks for the replies, i've just checked the PR and its zero - so it boggles the mind why they would want to advertise but I guess its their choice. I was thinking of suggesting another (alternative) site of mine that gets between 3500-5000 uniques/month.

Is there some kind of formulae to help calculate what I should charge for advertising?

thanks for your help

The price of the link depends on the topic of the site, if it's dating, it must be a very competitive query, you shouldn't pay attention to the number of visitors, it's not a factoк for, as they will be using your link to improve PR. You can charge more than 10$ IMHO.

Perhaps this online tool could be of help: http://adpraise.com

I don't know how well or realistic this tool is but i am sure others will chime in to express their opinions on this.

For a website with zero PR and only 100 visits per month i don't think you can really charge more then $10 USD monthly since this would mean you'll be getting $0,10 cents for each impression. And that's a very nice conversion rate already!

Ask for $10 if i where you and you can always upgrade the price later on if your site gets hopefully a better PR plus more traffic.
If you can get $10 you should really take it.

If I had a site like yours with zero page rank and 100 visitors I would definitely take the deal.

It is surprsing that a karge company would contact you about advertise on your site. Very rare imo.
