One of my sites has about 225k pageviews/mo but I have no clue what to charge anyone. I've had advertising requests but never jumped at them before because of this...

Although I still think it would be pretty hard for a new blogger to start selling private adds especially without a broker, but I'm sure its possible. There's also a lot of ways to make your adsense blend into our blog very nicely. Great post anyway. Simon Thanks for the info Nate, its definitely something to think about.

Two of them actually offered to do private deals for the following month. As far as advertising on my site, I've been building up a list of sites I think would be interested in sponsoring me. Once my user base picks up I'll be targetting them via email. Hopefully this method is effective.

I think that you can make a good amount of money from private advertising if you do it right and if it is reasonable. I will be trying this the next google PR update. "Just in the past three months, I have had three sites that have made me over $3,000 from Adsense. That’s a story for a different post though." Please tell us about this later on, I'm interested.

I made most of my money from Private Ad Sales on my last blog, but I wouldn't just give up on Adsense. I made about $60 in 4 months from Adsense, which isn't much, but it is better than nothing. I actually emailed sponsors of similar blogs to mine and got a few sponsors that way. I also found someone to buy my blog (who has since just sat on it and not changed a thing). You need to be aggressive when it comes to getting sponsors. I also had a sponsor email me and wanted to buy a link. After I put the first link up, I asked her if she had any of other companies interested in putting links on my site. She bought 2 more links. Also, Text Link Ads needs to change their policy as they would not approve my previous blog, but I had a lot of offers for advertising. They could have made some money off of me.

Also it depends on what you're blogging about, the more distinctive your niche the more higher CPC you will get. Don't get me wrong, I make some OK money with private sales. Just not ready to say bye bye to CPC yet. ;) While private advertising is a great way to get more consistent results, having CPC ads till the time you actually get those advertisers on board is probably the only way to make some sort of income.

I feel the same way about Adsense, it seems that a blog needs massive amounts of traffic to make any money with them. I'm sure that the theme of the blog has a lot to do with it also. Bloggers and people who want to make money online are generally not interested in clicking Adsense ads IMHO. Don Hey Nate, good post!
