Website advertising

Has anyone here any experience of selling advertising space on their website? What are the current market rates etc?

It depends on the area your site is in , and how many page views you get.

Yup.. boils down to impressions my friend..

Ive sold about 20 spots on my websites.. some very cheap..
There are also plenty of add brokers out there if u look hard enough :P
A friend of mine in the game industry has a 400k impressions a month and can command $1000 an add

Do a bit of research om the industry OP.
Can vary hugely from €20-30 cpm to 0.50 cpm, depending on how deep a niche, what type of page, and of course impressions.

For example, a related product on a niche site, on a page that users are tuned in, with a good ad space, should command more than a bottom of the page MPU on a poor site, for example.

Plenty of guys more qualified to comment on this than me.

One thing I would say, is don't make the mistake of discounting yourself too much, as this can lead to an accepted price for the future then, and devalue the advertising.

The company I work for have a web app and the login page alone gets about 800/1000 visits per day. Usually google analytics makes out that about half are unique visits for that day. We know profession of virtually all of these visitors too which should make it attractive to advertisers.

The company are now like nost struggling a bit and a colleague and I have been asked to look into the area of advertising on our site, something I have very little experience of.

Any idea of the advertising revenue that could be generated on those rough figures? Or could some one DM me contact details for a good ad broker that could advise.

Thanks

The Apprentice,
No, its a serious site. I can't say too much on a public forum as it's not my site to discuss but I have PM'd you more details. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

I just use AdSense. Takes all of the hassle out of it, if for a much smaller cut of the revenue but you can spend more time on driving traffic to your site instead.
