How much would this adspot cost?

[spreea]

Hi guys,

Just wondering how much you think I should sell an adspot on my site www.uuom.com. I already have one of my own (banner adspot - this is the one I am going to offer)

I launched the site on Jan 1 and it is around 679,000 ALEXA. I got about 284,000UV + 1.4 millions hits in January.

Here are my awstats :

Thanks

you can be happy if you get 10$ / month for it. you traffic is very low.

@sloddl

only $10/month for a site that is getting 250,000UV/month and is growing?

Awstats, while it gives you a great feeling, is grossly inaccurate for imagehosts. It's a server logging level statistic software. So those unique hits and impressions include all the images you've served from your website in that specific month.

Say you have 10 images hosted, and 100 different people view the image in a month. And only 20 of those visit your site (the other 80 only view the hotlinked image).
Awstats will report that as 100 uniques, instead of 20 uniques (which is what would make sense and what most advertisers are looking for).

So, keeping that in mind, if you want realistic stats for an imagehost, go with GAnalytics or something of that sort.


EDIT: Since you obviously feel strange about it; to give you an idea, I've been tracking LulzImg on Google Analytics for a while now. What are my stats there? About, let's see, 40,000 UV/month. Awstats has already reported 121,000UV for 1st Feb, 2011 (and the day isn't over yet).

The problem is that it's an image hosting.. Not many people would notice the links..

I think based on your fast growing traffic, you could sell at $20, $25 tops.. But not here on KWWH.. go to some other, popular and legal market.


EDIT. nice reply by lifetalk. Ive never used awstats, so i didn't know that fact. Looks like it will be much much cheaper.

@lifetalk

thanks! appreciate your honest answer!

@sloddl

it said about 11,000

[sloddl]

and this are only visits, and not all of this visits click on the ads... especially if your images are displayed on other sites... then the ads are invisible for that visits.

@maniac

I think for now I would go with one banner, not text ads

I see that makes sense
