How Much to Charge for Advertising | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Hey Everyone,

So I'm sort of a beginner at this whole advertising thing. My question may seem really ametuer, haha.

My blog has been generating some interest as far as affiliate link advertising, and sponsored posts. My question, then, is how much I should charge for these things.

Just in case you need to know:

Alexa ranking: 563,636
Page Views (monthly) : 3,000 + (on track for over 4,000 in January)

I've had some guest and sponsored posts before. The last one was a sponsored post where they wrote the post, but the recent ones are ones where they want to put a link in a post that I wrote – more work for me (which is fine). The last one paid [Deleted the amount - Suba] for the link in the post that they wrote.

I will definitely be rejecting those that don't mesh with my blog and not overloading my readers with pointless ads (and wierd advertising requests, which have happened and been rejected), but there's one that I think I'd like to do and need some advice as to what to charge.

What do you think – based on the info above, what would you charge?
