dollars in free postage again stamps dot com enter pat now let's get to today's question from

gabby hi pat my name is gabby i'm a big fan of the SPI blog. It Rocks. You're awesome.

My question is about when would it be the right time to offer advertising on my website?

Should I base a price on the amount of visitors in a month? How can I find out what my website

is worth and how to price ads? Should I offer it through a publisher like buy sell ads.com?

If so, is it better to offer a CPM pricing or a fixed monthly price?
