For the patrons page, www.openfontlibrary.org currently has a pagerank of 5, and I suspect that once there are font previews and it becomes useful, that will go to 6, suggesting /patrons would have a pagerank of 5, and $100/month is on the high side for a link, but OK for a sponsor. So I'd say 6 months. By comparison, 7 www.dafont.com (well established though) 6 www.openclipart.org 6 www.1001freefonts.com 6 www.urbanfonts.com 4 freefonts.com My experience with www.fromoldbooks.org was that once it got to pagerank 8 I got one or two requests a week to advertise (and then one day Google took my pagerank away, but that's another story).
