Hello,
Thank you for reading this post.
I have a website with growing traffic.
In the month of October 2009 I have passed one million page view with my search engine.

I want to charge $1 per 1,000 page view...
Is this right amount?

How can I get customers??
I am thinking on companies with brand products..

Your advice will be highly appreciated.

Isaac

Building on 's note about growing traffic and 's pointer to an existing pricing discussion, here is a concise, practical plan to find advertisers and set defensible rates.

First, validate and package the audience. Pull 3 months of analytics and filter bots. Key metrics to show in a simple media kit:

  • Monthly uniques and pageviews, device and country breakdown
  • Top landing pages and content categories
  • Engagement: avg. time on page, pages/session, bounce rate
  • Any conversion metrics (signups, leads) or sample campaign results
  • Available ad placements (sizes, positions) and expected monthly impressions
  • Contact, creative specs, and basic terms

Choose pricing and offer clear packages. Common options are CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions), CPC, CPA, flat sponsorships, or revenue share. Use the basic formula: Revenue = (impressions / 1,000) * CPM. Create 2–3 tiers (e.g., premium hero slot, standard sidebar, sponsored article), price premium slots at 2–3x standard, and offer discounts for longer commitments or bulk buys. Avoid promising conversions unless you can track them reliably; guarantee impressions or viewability instead and include makegood terms.

Find buyers with targeted outreach and marketplaces. Build a list of 20–50 brands and agencies that match your audience, reach marketing managers on LinkedIn with a 1-paragraph pitch plus the media kit, and offer a short trial or pilot. Also test demand-side partners (networks/marketplaces) to fill leftover inventory. Require UTMs/unique landing pages for measurement, define reporting cadence, set payment terms, and ensure privacy/compliance (consent, privacy policy).
