My rates haven’t moved for a while now. My 125 banner ads have been at $25 for at least 6 months, and my in-content banner was at $50 a month. Which was pretty cheap for the amount of readers I had. Now since I have a decent amount of readers I have to raise the rates. My 125 banners now sells for $39 a month, and the in-content is now $75 a month, but the nofollow text links will stay the same price of $15 a month.
When I get done editing this design 100% I will be adding another row the the 125 banners. But besides that I want to keep the advertising as slim as possible. I don’t want to turn my blog into a huge advertisement for everyone. Anyways, you probably dont care about this, so I will make it interested. Lets see what other bloggers are charging for ad space per RSS reader…
To calculate the CPR (cost per reader 
) I simply divided the dollar amount by the readers. Here are my results going from most expensive to least expensive.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Not sure if readers are really relevant to out-of-content advertising but it still may give you an idea to what kind of exposure you would be getting I guess.
Hmmm…when you break everything down, it doesn’t seem half bad for an ad on John Chow
