I currently run a website that generates income based upon purchasing
a yearly membership. My site generates about 100,000 visits a day.
These visits are from my members - so they are not different visitors
on a day by day basis. but are 100,000 unique visitors in a given day.
I currently do not accept advertising on my site. So my question is,
how much do you think I can generate via ad space per month? For
example, having a bunch of advertisers' banners rotate on various
pages. The reason why this question is important is that my visitors
appreciate that my website is ad-free. However, it wouldn't be an
issue if the website members area was free. So I would actually be
abandoning my sales model of charging my users a membership fee in
exchange for generating money through advertising instead (only if the
amount I generated via selling ad space is higher than what I make by
charging a membership fee). Also, how does one go about finding high
profile advertisers? I know there are websites like adbrite for
selling ad space... any other suggestion? My site is in the sports
industry. Thank you in advance. |
