I'd be quite keen to advertise my to-be-launched-soon coder community site (that's not competing with SO) on SO, but they have no self serve system and I'm not paying the $20+ CPM they'd probably quote if I contacted them direct.. :-)

Do that and let me know what kind of return you make from advertising on SO. Until then, everyone is "keen" until they have to open up their wallet.

Appreciate the cynicism, but at the right price I (and doubtless many others) would do it for sure. An advertiser's idea of the "right price", though, is bound to differ from theirs ;-) Given that developers have a low CTR.. the CPM would have to be "very low."
