If even for 2 weeks. What if the Adsense does well? If it does well it can only justify at least a baseline to charge direct advertisers. If the adsense does poorly, well that doesn't mean you can't charge direct advertisers whatever you want. If it does do well you've at least got hard numbers to back up your claims. Spot on Paul.

If you want to make money from your site(s)... why don't you test it? Does having adsense make you more or less money? If it's more, keep it. Basically you need to test it. That makes more sense than 'thinking' about what 'might' happen if you do or don't add it. Too many marketers make that mistake of what they or someone else, even well meaning, 'think' will happen. Always, always test. You will maximize earnings by science and not potentially fallible opinion. I kind of have a different opinion from some.

I know most advertisers won't be interested if you have any less than X visitors per week/month. What are some ballpark figures on a) minimum traffic needed to attract monthly advertisers; and b) what you're entitled to charge per visitor once you reach that threshold. ....Thanks, everyone!

They have relationships with advertisers and ad agencies, and they were looking for food-related websites to display their ads on. Their model is pay-per-impression (CPM). Their ads now display on our website. Thanks again for all the feedback. As a follow-up to this thread, I was contacted by an Ad Network that is focused on the foodie / culinary community.
