Been approached to advertise on my site - totally new to this so need some advice!

Hi,

Someone has approached me via http://victoriaanndesign.net and would like to 'sponsor a listing' on my site as an html text link to their company.

I haven't really considered this before although it sounds great and something I'm certainly interested in. Can anyone advise me of exactly what this means and how much to charge, where the ad should be placed etc so I can ensure I have all the necessary information prior to replying to the email?

It would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Vicki

 

The price of link is depend where they want to put their link at.
If at homepage different price than subpage.
And moreover did your site have any PR?

 

And how much traffic do you get?
Traffic and PR is used to determine how much you should charge. I'd also think about what you're linking to - make sure your visitors don't take it as a personal recommendation and that the link is clearly an advert.

If the advertiser doesn't want it looking like an advert I'd ask way more.

 

Ok it's a really low traffic site at the moment as I'm working really hard to get it established - say about 20-30 hits a day.

I imagine it would be a link on the homepage or on the sidebar which appears on every page.

Ok so newby question - what do you mean by PR? I mean, I know what PR is in the real world but what exactly do you mean in relation to a web site? Just advertising? If so, then I have info dotted all over the web, I also have started to concentrate on getting local business by printing flyers and dropping them into businesses.
