Quite an eye opener this. Thanks to all that have contributed so far.

Thanks turboface. We tried out blacklabel ads about 6 months ago, but they sucked. Similar deal as ad distributor from the looks of things.

I'm with you on this Ron. Paid spots based on impressions - advertisers can check over the site / statistics and make up their own mind. No guarantees.

Have been investigating, and almost none of my competitors are (obviously) offering paid spots. They are all advertising similar sponsors as I am currently, which without doing much, are earning me around a $500 - $1000 a week. I guess most of them don't want the hassle involved in setting up and maintaining.

The only site I can think of similar is ja nes guide who are selling spots through blacklabel - no banner spots available, so I don't know what they charge, but text ads they charge:

1-Day Text Link $35.00
7-Day Text Link $220.00
30-Day Text Link $750.00

I have over twice as many page views per day as they do.

Here's a recent log screenie:

I guess the sensible thing to do would be set up the backend for advertisers, so they can track clickthrus, impressions etc, market the hell out of it, and see what happens?
