How much would this adspot cost?

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).

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 : http://uuom.com/?di=1512966063089 Rating: 5

I see that makes sense
