I have recently begun getting emails from various sources asking me for permission to place advertisements or text links on pages of my blog. I made the decision almost a year ago to get rid of most ads (most noteably Google AdWords). I have since had minimal ads on specific pages and that revenue has basically gone directly in a business checking account I have set up to help fund this and some other websites that I run.

My question is mainly directed to those of you out there who run blogs that get a reasonable amount of traffic. I want to know how you set rates for advertising, what you use the revenue for, and what you use to determine if you allow certain advertisements.

I am interested in whatever responses I can get on this issue. If anonymity is an issue, you can leave an anonymous comment to this post or fill out the email comment form.

It really depends upon your traffic. I run BlogHer ads, so don’t need to do any of the thinking;) But a friend of mine has about 650 subscribers and shows her advertising parameters here: http://islandlife808.com/an-is.....edia-info/ . Here’s another - with 1300 subscribers: http://scribbit.blogspot.com/2.....ibbit.html . You could search other blogs that sell ads to get an idea.

Hope this helps! You have a great blog here, and excellent following.

No ads (that I am aware of). I ignore the e-mails.
