Find your point of DONT' PRICE YOUR ADS is awesome. I read from a book that don't constrain your ability to negotiate by already fixed prices or agreements.

I have just made some changes to my advertise page and this helped me a lot. I was going to put buy it now buttons but not setting a price is a much better idea. Thanks so much for this post.

It was completely unexpected and I hadn't planned for it. I have adsense and I have had "advertise here" spots that I filled wiht affiliate links etc. I didn't want to say no right away but I didn't know about pricing etc for link sales. I am happy to say what this posts says is exactly what i had done. They asked for a price and I had them name a price. Of course too low. Then I made a counter offer. They didn't accept but made another counter. I thought about it but did some research and it was not enough money. I was friendly the whole time. Iwaited 1 week before getting back with the final answer. I said I'm sorry we cannot reach an agreement, I'm going to have to decline your latest offer, but thank you for the interest. Well, the next day I had an email agreeing to my original counter offer and basically begging me for the spot. I guess I have to learn about private sales because now I am getting offers. My original offer was probably to low even but I had no idea what to ask for. I'm going to read the articles in the links above to see about it. Thanks again for the great article.

I used to do it on my blog network in the past, and missed out on potentially a lot of money. Now, since I'm negotiating my deals, I'm much better off.
