About advertising on website. Need your advice

Dummy

Hi,

Personally I wouldn’t say that 40 – 60 uniques a day is a lot of traffic. I wouldn’t even think of putting paid ads up until you’re getting quite a bit more. I only say that because I doubt you will be able to find regular advertisers who want there ads to be on your site.

I would normally suggest that if you really wanted to sell advertising space on your site that you sell it by impressions. By that I mean, people pay you X for there banner to be displayed on your site X number of impressions, however as your site is getting so little traffic that would be pretty pointless. The going rate for 1000 banner impressions is around $1, and $3 a month is not really worth the effort.

I agree Jon, the traffic at the moment is rather minimal and this means advertisers probably won't be interested in buying space especially by the impression.

I do however feel you could rotate several banners (maybe 2 or 3) and sell them on a monthly basis for say $10-15.

Advertising on your portfolio site, why would you do that?

Thats statistic is not ipixet.com

he's oviously got a different site to advertise on

I'd be concerned about my uniques dropping by 200 hits per month and try to find the reasons why.

It's possible (but probably not easy) to get a higher rate for banner ads. It depends on how targeted your content is. Let's say you run a site strictly related to staplers. It is possible to get a stapler manufacturer to pay a higher rate because your visitors are highly targeted to their demographic. But like the others said, this is going to be tied to your traffic.

You'll never get anyone interested in purchasing advertising on your site if you don't have more than 2,000 uniques/day for those prices. Believe me, I've tried
