It depends on what you mean by commercial web site. One that sells its 
own products with supplementary content to attract readers can usually 
pay a lot more than one which is commercial because it is primarily 
content with some ads. The latter tend to pay between $15 and $35 an 
article. The commercial selling site with content will vary according to 
the size of the business. I work for one and negotiated a yearly 
retainer to provde bi-weekly articles  and answer customer service 
questions that the staff wasn't sure about for $10,000, but it is a well 
established company  and quite large.
