Selling links is a great way to make a little profit on the side but requires you site to have a lot of traffic and pr. Many sites have a sitewide link area to add them in. It's really your choice. You can either sell links or do link exchanges for more traffic.
Here are the prices that you could sell links based on PR. There is room to sell them more if you can prove that you have great traffic at the site. Not only that but also if there is a high demand for people buying link for the type of site you have then you can boost the price. It doesn't seem that you make money but you have to understand that you can usually have 10 to 20 of them each month.

Pr 1 = $1 per month
