Another fantastic post Steph!

As you know, we do offer advertising on our blog and it is always a challenge knowing how much to charge, etc.

$1 CPM (cost per thousand) is the “remainder” used by many media. The standard rate used for radio & TV (and online, too) is closer to $5 CPM.

However, back in the “old days” of the Web, when click-thru rates were closer to 50% instead of today’s 0.5%, some sites could get away with charging upwards of $50 CPM. By 1998, though, those rates went into free-fall.

Great article and it was very helpful as I recently have added a few advertisements on the blog. I agree that the ads should coincide with your lifestyle and your blog content. Like your example of a breastfeeding mom and Enfamil! Thank you for taking the time to put this all together for us. I had no idea about the ad rates either!!

I never really set out to sell advertising but several companies have contacted me about it so I decided to give it a go. It’s been nice to have a little extra in my PayPal account but I don’t think I will be going whole hog on selling ads.

OK – I don’t have any really relevant to this post comment to make but I want to say that I’m really enjoying this themed weekend :) Great posts, I appreciate the thought and research you’ve put into them – lots of food for thought and things to keep in mind here.

I had no idea ads on t.v. and in magazines were SOOOO expensive. Oh. my.
I don’t offer advertising, and don’t plan too. But, this was still really interesting to read. I’m sort of fascinated by how bloggers turn their blogs into businesses. My curiosity is definitely glad you’re devoting so many posts to it.

I have a few affiliate links on my blog and make a little money from my BlogHer ads… sometimes I question whether I should have ads at all b/c mine is quite simply a personal family blog. What do you think about ads on personal blogs??
