How Much could I sell text links on my blog for?

I hope it's alright that I'm posting this here - it's not exactly for my forum, but a blog that I run. My forum is a little too "under construction" to sell links at the moment. I didn't know where else to ask this though - I don't think the other sites I'm a part of have a place for it.

I'm wondering if I could currently make anything to offset hosting on site-wide text-link ads, or do I need to wait until the site grows more? The blog in question is about books and creative writing, so probably not a very sought-after topic for advertisers. Statistics below.

PR3 pages:

- Index page
- Some of the category pages
- A fair number of individual blog posts

PR4 pages:

- 12 category pages
- 4 monthly archive pages
- 1 blog post

Average daily visits, according to Webalizer:

Febuary 07 - 346
January 07 - 261
December 06 - 236
November 06 - 163

Average daily page views, according to Webalizer:

Febuary 07 - 529
January 07 - 446
December 06 - 430
November 06 - 305

Hmm - I could try that, though I was mostly thinking of selling them myself. My basic question was whether I had the PR / visitors to make it worth it at this point, or whether I should wait.

On a side note, anyone know how text-link-ads.com decides who to accept? WritingNews.org was rejected - they said it was likely due to not enough popularity, but it had to be an automated system that reviewed it because it was instant. I guess it was the lack of Alexia ranking? My target audience generally isn't involved in technology to have installed the toolbar, and I can't do it myself since I have a Mac.

You might just be better off selling them yourself.

Depends on how many links you sell. I'd say low $x/month per link.
