For : this answer assumes you meant "how to charge advertisers per click" (as asked for clarification and hinted at the charge-vs-pay distinction). correctly noted there are other monetization models; below is a practical way to set a starting CPC when you sell clicks directly.

Collect three real numbers first: monthly pageviews for the page(s) with the ad slot, an expected CTR for that slot (use your historical data or conservative industry ranges), and how much monthly revenue you want from that slot. Then use two simple formula sets.

Calculate clicks from impressions:

impressions = monthly_pageviews * slots_per_page * fill_rate
expected_clicks = impressions * CTR
CPC_required = target_monthly_revenue / expected_clicks

Estimate the advertiser's maximum willingness to pay (what keeps their campaign profitable):

CPC_max = conversion_rate * average_order_value * profit_margin

Quick worked example: 50,000 monthly pageviews, 1 slot, 95% fill, CTR = 0.3% -> ~143 clicks/month. If you want $300/month from that slot, CPC_required = 300 / 143 ≈ $2.10. But an advertiser with CR = 2%, AOV = $60 and 30% margin has CPC_max = 0.02 * 60 * 0.3 = $0.36. That gap shows your price needs to be aligned with advertiser economics or you should choose a different model (CPM, flat sponsorship, or affiliate).

Practical tips: start lower, run a test campaign and insist on conversion tracking or ask advertisers for conversion data, offer volume/time discounts, set a minimum floor, and use your actual CTR and conversion numbers to revise prices after 30 days. Use ad networks as a baseline to know what open-market CPC looks like for your niche.

I don't quite comprehend your problem. Could you clarify?

Thx.

Do you mean the price that you want to charge users to advertise on your web site or the price that you want to pay to bring users to your web site?

Generally there are 2 ways you put advertisements on your website. The first way is what is called a Banner Exchange ... this is simply an agreement with another web site that you will put their advertisement on your website if they will put yours on their website.

the second way is with Affiliate programs... You have probably seen these millions of times but not known what you were looking at....
when a seller of any product whether it be rubber balloons or Anthro Gizmo's, wants help getting his products in front of customers they offer and affiliate program... How this works is, you put their banner on your website and one of your customers goes to his site and orders 1000 rubber balloons. you get a percentage of the sale. The percentages are all set up in their affiliate site offer (and some of them are really good too)

So all you have to do is go to the Seller's site, look for their affiliate program, see what they offer, and if you like it sign up... everything else is self explanatory in most cases...
