AdSense Earnings vs. Bandwidth Use

[Pietercornelis]

Hey all,

How much do you earn through AdSense, and how many MB/GB Bandwidth do you use per month?
I would like to find out whether there is some kind of connection between the two, so other users can determine about how much they can make with their hosting package.
So, please, share your information! I'll make a nice graph if sufficient people react.

depends on what site you run ;)

lol 50-100TB (yes terrabytes) a month and climbing here

~$20k / ~200GB -- it's good to run web sites which are built like it's 1983. :D

But if we want to compare earnings vs. bandwidth, you should name both...

heh just enough to break even :( anyways not going breaking adsense tos

[alexplank]

i don't see how bandwidth is that relevant. CPU usage is more expensive. most people don't worry about bandwidth.

heh just enough to break even :( anyways that would be against adsense tos

umm, no, reread the TOS

bandwidth definitly must be cheap since sites like imageshack, rapidshare are making a killinh right?

10$ US per mbit of bandwidth / month (~320GB /month) at the very cheapest with cogentco and 25$ + with level3

I think alot of people are 'over hosted' anyway. I know I am, I have way more BW than I need at present.

well alot of shared hosts offer terabytes of bandwidth but in reality theyll kick you off if you approach even 10% of that, thats the unfortunate truth about overselling on shared hosting

[baker101]

you pay 10$ a month for 10mb?

no read the post carefully and make sure you can tell your bits from your bytes


wholesale bandwidth from large carriers is at minimum of $US10 per megabit a second for a whole month (with this you can transfer about 320 Gigabytes per month)

so as you can see the costs are large

[baker101]

thanks mihd, for the expo.

wow, so 320 gigs per month is cheap for 10 bucks. actually netfirms is having a special for 750 gig a month transsfer for 10 bucks the whole year. i wonder if its actually 10% allowed however.

[mihd]

they prob overselling, thats 10$ per mbit from cogentco (cheapest of the cheap) after you commit to over 100mbit or even more, then there are hardware/personel/power costs


if called overselling and is quite common in the hosting industry since theres so much competition, you know the saying if its too good to be true it probably is, lets just say if all their customers used close to whats advertised they go bankrupt! hosting companies bet on the fact that majority of customers dont use much (and hence the promise of near endless resources) so they more than likely ask heavy users politely to upgrade to a higher package or just tell them to go elsewhere once if they use alot in terms of bandwidth or ram or cpu usage

There is no corellation between earningss and bandwisth used, if that what yoou are trying to ask.
