Whats your site, you're going to have to give a lot more information before anyone can help.

For all your drinking needs go to Rate My Pub

I also get 250,000 page views a month on MCEM and CEM Exam Guide so might try something with that too?

Building some advertising packages or something?

It would be easier if you give the link, although it might be in your sig, but I turn sigs off...

Anyway, 250k page views... what does that break down in terms of Unique Visitors, do you have information on demographics etc.

The more information you have on visitors the better, as an advertiser I'd be looking at reasons I'd advertise with you instead of tailored and specific advertising with the likes of adwords or facebook.

What type of ads are you selling, sizes, placement, CTR's?, prices: CPM or fixed etc.

First impressions, the site doesn't look the best, whats with the weird fonts and garish colors?

Ah ya sorry zabbo have it in my sig.

as for the 250K of page views ya haha on;y 4,000 unique visitors a month it's a subscription site for online exams!

the other site www.ratemypub.ie is where i'd like to get the advertising up and running! and yes I hate the look of it at the moment but we are doing a bit of a revamp at the moment and will have something pretty nice (will be up for review) after christmas

and as for what type of adds I'm selling well ya I'm not selling any at the moment so want to know where to start!

thanks for any help and advice you can give me!

I'm a pioneer for that concept
The first place to log the price of your pint and have a rant in ireland was drinkfeckgirls.com
Alot of fun running it even made an appearence on the last word...

It is a good traffic driver

good luck with it

Thanks a lot egan, the new layout I'm working on (tough as hell with the ajax coding behind it) should make it stand out a bit more! Lot o work involved in it!

You are certainly fairly lucky alright with 4000 unique visitors a month.
Maybe some of you will laugh and go I get 10 times that.
But for someone who is only geting about 50 visits a month thats a huge difference.

I hope to start really working on my site. Mine is fairly poor at the moment. but I have about 5 weeks over the Christmas to do a total revamp. I hope to make it super sleek. Real 2.0 and all. So I am dapping my hand in a lot of technologies at the moment.

Again 4000 cool. I would love to know how much it is worth. Could you buy a car with it for instance.

Also with advertising did you ever try google adsense or anything like that. I think you could make a bit for that but the income would not be fixed of course. You would just be hoping and praying.

Best of Luck with your project.

Finally do you have many people working on your projects or you a lone wolf.

Ya not a big fan of google ad sense myself, I guess since I've never in my life clicked on one of those google links or even looked at them (I think i've trained myself not to) I can't see myself making any money at all from it!

As for my projects, well it all depends on the project

Working with college with one

Working with a number of doctor friends of mine on another

Working with a number of other business partners with another.

I really just need help putting together a few business packages / advertising packages to get the ball rolling?

How much do I ask for?

What do I meaure it off? Page views? unique visitors? time on site?
