Awstats, while it gives you a great feeling, is grossly inaccurate for imagehosts. It's a server logging level statistic software. So those unique hits and impressions include all the images you've served from your website in that specific month.

Say you have 10 images hosted, and 100 different people view the image in a month. And only 20 of those visit your site (the other 80 only view the hotlinked image).
Awstats will report that as 100 uniques, instead of 20 uniques (which is what would make sense and what most advertisers are looking for).

So, keeping that in mind, if you want realistic stats for an imagehost, go with GAnalytics or something of that sort.


EDIT: Since you obviously feel strange about it; to give you an idea, I've been tracking LulzImg on Google Analytics for a while now. What are my stats there? About, let's see, 40,000 UV/month. Awstats has already reported 121,000UV for 1st Feb, 2011 (and the day isn't over yet).
 
The problem is that it's an image hosting.. Not many people would notice the links..

I think based on your fast growing traffic, you could sell at $20, $25 tops.. But not here on WJ.. go to some other, popular and legal market.


EDIT. nice reply by lifetalk. Ive never used awstats, so i didn't know that fact. Looks like it will be much much cheaper.
 
and this are only visits, and not all of this visits click on the ads... especially if your images are displayed on other sites... then the ads are invisible for that visits.

Click to expand...

I see that makes sense:)
 
ok if it's 11,000 page visits/views (not image views... also your images being displayed on other sites) then maybe for 30$ but that's it i think.

i mean... good luck and i hope that you will sell it for more, but i think that with 30$/month (max. 50$/month) you can be happy with this traffic.
