i don't charge, but it does go into the project plan and agreement... 
the client signs off on it knowing that for every day they don't deliver 
something i need, that's one day later it will be... once the client 
misses deadlines and expects it in the same timeframe, however, 
that's a rush job, which is out of scope, which gets an appropriate 
% increase for rush work...

i can't answer that... there is no average... an average among 
certain sites, or among guaranteed views is another thing...
