How much is my blog worth? Are we ready to sell private Ad? This question might pop out from your head after blogging for several months.
Most of the top 100 blogs make money online offering private ad. JohnChow earning USD15k from his private ad sale for the month of June 2008 and ZacJohnson earning USD2k from his private ad sale for the month of May 2008.
Few weeks back I ask Michaelauli, "When is the right time for any blogger to offer their private ad?". His answer was "Well once you’ve got a good Alexa and PageRank, I guess (and/or your RSS feed subscriber). Those three points are good indicators of your traffic or the quality of your blog in private advertisers’ eyes".
Looking at the offer by the top blogger there are a number of factors that affects the value of your blog.
1. Revenue generated
2. Quality of traffic
3. Referrers statistic
4. Google Pagerank
5. Alexa Ranking
6. Technorati Ranking
7. Number of blog post
8. Number of blog comments
9. RSS feed subscriber
If I want to sell private advertisement slots, links, posts, or reviews on my blog, then I have to know the price of the slots. One of the online tool that give me idea how much I should charge per month is dnscoop.com. This is only estimation based on our PR, link and Alexa Ranking.
Here is the estimate for my site: $5. I'm not ready to sell private advertising. So, find out and estimate the worth of your blog now.

Thanks very much for this useful tool. I can't wait to check it out and evaluate the value of advertising on my blog.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I am not yet ready for private advertising. I want to give my blog ample time to grow and secondly, I don't want to get "deviated" too soon.
What about you? What are your reasons for not wanting to go into private advertising? If they are not very personal, can we share?
Uncle, I just want to focus building my traffic and branding my weblog. Hopefully by next 6-12 months I'll start offering the slots. How about my invitation?

ReplyDeletePurple, thanks for dropping by
ReplyDeleteText link ads are risky since they are paid links, but the sales tend to snowball, because a lot of the people buying the links are unsure of which links they bought are the most important. So they keep buying the same ones month after month. And then as new people advertise, they just add to this trend.
ReplyDeletestephan thank you for the very informative info. I'm sure many of bloggers will take note of the tips.
ReplyDeleteNice info Bono.

ReplyDeleteWell even if you are ready for private advertising, the next step is getting the private advertiser itself! (which is hard)
ReplyDeleteSo far I've only gotten 2 of them :(
I guess you really have to be pro-active in chasing and getting one
Micheal, I'm totally agree with you. The advertiser only buy the slot if our site really worth for them.
ReplyDeleteCame by to visit before i go off to bed...Catch ya another time...
ReplyDeletepurple thanks for dropping by..I'm sure you are really busy..take care & sweet dream
ReplyDeleteBono!! Thanks for the dnscoop link, I've checked mine, it's 10/month! still low!
ReplyDeleteEmila not too bad..better then me. Insyallah next few month will go up to may be few hundreds per month.
ReplyDeleteWow, bestnye Emila 10 buckeroos! Bono, I joined oredi yesterday's program, now waiting to see what happens next he he! ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by and your comment ;)
ReplyDeletecheers
Marzie, thanks joining. I also still study the program ..look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI think the main concern for selling private ads will be depend on the amount of pageview per month. As a starter you must begin sa price na $0.5 CPM x amount of pageview per month, 1000 pageview = 1 .
ReplyDeleteex. if you have 5000 pageview per month and a $0.5 CPM the computation would be 5 x $0.5 = $2.5 would be your banner ads price. :)
Well I think nothing gives better information on the concerned topic rather than this article. Nice post. Keep it up
