Why Travel & Lifestyle pays what it pays

Travel audiences plan far ahead and spend heavily when they commit, which makes the gap between browsing and booking the central fact of pricing in this niche. Impressions are cheap; placements that catch someone actually planning a trip are not.

Seasonality is more pronounced here than almost anywhere. Booking windows for summer and the winter holidays concentrate demand into a few months, and publishers who sell those windows early capture rates well above their annual average.

Travel & Lifestyle pricing questions

Why do travel sites often earn more from affiliate than flat rate?

Because booking values are large. A percentage of a booked trip frequently beats a flat monthly fee, so it is worth running both and keeping whichever your traffic actually supports.

When should I sell summer inventory?

In late winter and early spring, when people are planning. By the time the season arrives the booking decisions - and the budgets chasing them - have already been made.
