So I'm looking to approach a few gaming related companies for monthly banner/sponsorship of my forums.

This is part of my plan to FINALLY monetize one of my sites, using contextual and banner ads.

http://www.necrotalk.com

Here is a breakdown of my traffice for 2006...

Per Month:
Unique Visitors: Range: 6,200-7900 Average: 7260
Raw Hits: Range: 1.03mil - 1.49mil Average: 1.28mil

Per Day(for december):
Unique Visitors: Range: 496-900 Average: 658
Raw Hits: Range: 24,000 - 47,000 Average: 33,000


So I was wondering. Based on this information I have two questions:

1. What monthly rate(range estimate) would you approach gaming related companies with for a monthly position in top banner placement.

2. How else(other than contextual adsense/ypn ads) would you monetize this traffic?

Thanks.

Hits don't mean anything... you need your impression stats...

So which column would be "impressions" then? Number of visits, or Pages?

Advertisers are going to be interested in page views and uniques.

They will also be interested in any demographic data you can give them as well, although I never give any

I mean i have analytics on the site, so i can give some general demographics data like: most of the visitors are in the US.

So i think it looks like my pageviews are from 190,000 to 210,000 per month.
