The CPM model is very logical, thanks. I guess I've been under the impression that you more or less exclusively drove traffic to your sites via PPC, so I understand now it why was the past tense. As much as it's possible to master anything in this industry, I do feel that I'm very close to that with PPC but sadly my SEO/link-building skills aren't yet up to scratch. Still, one day eh? Thanks for the reply, Kieron. The CPM model is very logical, thanks.

As a rough guide, work out a CPM, i.e. how much you would charge for 1000 ad impressions. Average for generic traffic would be £2 to £5. Then for niche sites maybe go up to £10 and beyond. As usual though this depends on the profitibality of the niche and what sector it is in etc.

Kieron, really interesting points you've raised and, as always, a good post. However, when describing your broadband site you used the past tense. Is this because you're not very active in that market any more or because you've stopped charging for those spots? Also, is there a rough model/guide to follow when deciding a pricing structure for the paid placements? Ha Nadeem, nice story!

Talking of Formula 1, I had a memorable incidence once. About eight years ago I was staying in a flat in Heidelberg, Germany and guess who should move into the flat above me? One of those girls whose job it was to stand on the podium with the winners. She was stunning. She came to my flat to say 'hi' to me and, after we chatted for a while, said she was going out that evening and whether I'd like to go with her. I said "all right". A few hours later she comes knocking on my door. I open it and she is all dolled up, with a microskirt which is barely 30 centimetres long. And what do I do? I tell her "I'm sorry something's turned up" and... I go back to my computer! Is that dedication to affiliate marketing or is that dedication to affiliate marketing? :-) Good point, affiliates need to think out of the box and realise there are ways other than CPA to generate money from their websites.

I charged £250/$500 a day! Great days :)
