Need Help With Pricing

[jcap1p]

A poker site that PAW promotes has contacted me and asked how much I charge for a text or banner link in my site. The problem is that my site is so new, it has no PR.

I have had 96 unique visitors so far this month.

And last month (the first full month the site was online), I had 457 uniques and 1135 visits

Can someone give me an idea of what I would charge for ads? Site is in sig

It depends where the ad is and how big the ad is and what page. I would say you could offer $200/month and see what happens. Price is all about what the buyer will pay for it. Just remember, if they buy it for $200 for the month and they don't see clicks or players, they may hesitate on renewing for the next month. Try to make the price good enough so that the advertiser will want to continue advertising there for many months.

Here is what I just did recently. If you are selling month to month that can be difficult, I sold recently on a 3 month term for $200 a month.

They were pushing me to sign up, they convert great and all the other hype that AM's like to say. I had no interest in starting over plu to many other things on the go with another site right now so I told them I would lease the spot to them for $200 a month which is the CPA they offered me.

They came back with an extra term of 3 months and 4 RMP's which is fair. It does not matter how valuable these players are although if they end up getting shit for players I am sure they wont bother again.

This just appealed to me. Yes, I could be losing out on a ton per month from sending players with a flat rate fee, but maybe not. I can see for myself how they convert.
