Q: If a blog gets around 1000 visits / 2500 page views a month, and is growing, what would be a fair rate for placing an add on it? Cheers
A: The average price for this blog would be about $50 a year. Unless, the blog is targetted toward a very specific niche. For example, if your blog is telling people how to incorporate with step by step examples and you help them fill out the papers then you could charge based on expected sales. If a company sold incorporation papers for $100 each, and you could show that have 2500 'verified buyers' then you can charge a few hundred dollars. No one is going to pay for 'random traffic' but if you can prove that your readers are ready to buy, and then you pre-sell them, and last you 'validate' that they are serious buyers - then you can ask up to $500 and expect to find a client we do this on our website at inspiredauthor.com
