How much should I charge for ads on my site?
I get over 300 hits a day. I’m considering Google AdSense, but I’d also like to sell ads directly to writers, designers, other bloggers, etc. What sort of rates are reasonable for an amateur site like mine?
You can certainly find better paying methods than Adsense, still your traffic is not huge, banner ad space pricing involves a negotiation process, I suggest you look for space for rent ads on the Webmaster forums and check out the rates on BuySellAds.com, I understand the broker earns about 10% of the fee, some of these sort of junky sites have huge traffic figures.
Private deals are likely to involve you renting space by the month and inserting the ad yourself, dealing with ad networks, including Adsense, you insert code that allows them to change up the ads served, some private users with ad servers might arrange to notify you for approval any time an ad is changed.
