I'm confused.

I have companies offering me money to put text links on my site. They offer me a set price for a whole year.

What is a fair price for these links? Is it smart to sell links yearly on your site?

Is it bad for SEO? Does anyone have the going rate?

Are there advantages to using google adsense and other networks rather than committing to a year?

take money

I have a site that I've sold a dozen text ads on or so. Yeah, most of them asked for a yearly link. It really depends on the popularity of your blog and how much they're willing to pay. I get an average of $300/year from the text link ads I sell, but I think your site could be more popular than mine so you probably want to ask for more.

Btw, you have a great web site, Mike! Nice work.

This should help you get an average rate for the links.
