It varies widely based on the content of your site.

Thats like asking how long a piece of string is.

You cant just assume you will make $x because you have xxxx visitors. Depends what kind of traffic you have and what your selling.

Ok, so lets use the example of myspace.com. What would myspace.com make per one thousand unique visitors per month?

the minimum cost of advertising on myspace is 3000 dollars. Myspace isn't a pay per click...they charge by the impression(how many people see the ads) and its not like google where your advertising campaign can get away from you or you can be a victim of click fraud (don't act like you didn't know that existed). On myspace you pay a set amount for your advertising. Many sites follow this business model such as Mixunit.com, Allhiphop.com, etc. Obviously it takes time and effort to get sites like these the necessary traffic to be able to charge for banner placement but the payoff is huge.

P.S. Myspace gets 50 million hits per day and has over 120 million members.

Ok so I notice they have Best Western Hotels and classmate.com as their main advertisements. How much would these companies pay myspace.com per day? You say minimum $3000 but I'm sure myspace is making over $3000 / day on 50,000,000 viewers.

Those are there main ads for you...there main ads for me are ringtones, dating services, movies....they target ads by location and demographic. You are asking questions that are very broad as well as limited. I don't have access to Myspace's income statment. When I e-mailed them about advertising on thier site, I was contacted by a person who asked me what my needs were as well as informed me that the cheapest campain they had was $3000.

Maybe im just me but im a little bothered by your questions. I think you should stop trying to correlate an express relationship between hits/impressions and cost of advertising, its just not going to work. The internet is just to big of a place. Microsoft is coming up with ways it says better gauge the effectiveness of internet advertising...and it is every ad salemans job to make clients believe they are getting what they pay for.

Myspace has very diverse choices of advertising. A client can become a featured profile..they can do a joint promotion with myspace...they can get banner placement...they can lock down the entire myspace homepage (i.e. Simpsons season premiere ads). They also target by demographic. For example whenever I log out of myspace I get a picture of a hot chick which links to a dating service. Im sure that the female members don't get this same advertisement when they log out. Now with all of these different ways of advertising on this insanely popular site, do you really believe that what they charge for a certain number of impressions could help you better understand how much money your going to make if your site gets 1000 hits???????????? It just doesn't make sense. First of all if your not getting a million hits per month I don't think many company's are going to pay you for banner placement. That relegates you to pay-per-click or affilliate refferal programs. What you should be asking about is page hits to ad click ratio's.
