Cele, its worth 30 times that easily.

I think it is worth around $1000 per month but i honestly think some companies would pay more than that. We have good search engine listings in the major search engines for web hosting, hosting, website hosting, web site hosting ( some first page listings ). It is very targeted traffic and a great chance for a large company to brand themselves some more. This slot would not rotate, only 1 company per month. Even if it is at the bottom of the page it will still be seen by loads of people looking for hosting.

They only need to convert 10 clients selling a hosting package at $99 dollars per year to break even. That pays for the slot and they get the extra branding for free plus extra clients that may come from word of mouth from the new clients.

usually 10 clients will become 20 clients if the service is good ( eventually ).

And if the service is good most website will host for atleast 1 year maybe 2 or 3 years. Plus the fact that just one client reselling their hosting may end up with hundreds of clients over the future years.

They should easily convert 10 new clients from that slot with my unique visits reaching around 30,000 for each month.

I would think around 20-30 new clients they would gain plus another 20 from other benefits of the ad.

When you consider it all its worth $1000 easily, in fact that is cheap.
