Is 500 uniques per day High Traffic Site

[ezguy]

If you get 500 uniques per day is it called a high traffic site ?:D

[CountryBoy]

It depends - if it's a free blog it's a pretty good start, but it isn't what would really be considered as high. High is thousands to someone like me, tens of thousands to most of the other people here on DP.

[pig2cat]

500 uniques a day isnt really high... but its pretty good, 10k+ a day is high in my view... but it was my dream of getting 100 visits a day a year ago lol...

[coolsitez]

Personally, I don't consider that number for a high traffic site. I would say somewhere around 5k at least.

[ezguy]

man that would be tough to get 5k but with hard work it can be :)

[blademaster]

Patiences grasshopper, you must crawl before you can walk and run.

[dynamike]

Not Hardly, but it's a good start. It also depends on what your site is about. If your site is about underwater basket weaving in Russia, chances are that you could have the top site and only have 500 uniques. If it's a more general site or about a more popular topic, then you should get more.

Just hang out around here and you'l learn ways to get your #'s up there.

High traffic is all relative.

2 years ago, when my site was brand new I was managing to get 1K uniques a month. At that time, I considered my traffic would be high if I could get it to 10K a month, but now, it gets over 100K uniques/mth and I consider this to be low - see how things change over time.

At the moment I consider 500K uniques a month to be high, but when I get there, I will no longer consider it to be high!

[stanleytang]

500 visitors per day would be considered pretty high for a new website.

However, it would definitely not be considered a high traffic site.

Look at Google and YouTube, these websites receive 10 million + visitors per day.

You cant compare every site to google though...

[sachy24]

500 uniques/day is a good amount

[jdR!pper]

I think at least a thousand visitors per day can be considered high.

[scart3r]

Hmm, depends on how high we each set the bar. I don't think 500 is that high.

You can get that on a site fairly easily, after a few months of work. Am still working on cracking the 1000 - then the 5000 lol.

Like the others said - it is also dependant on the niche, so will naturally be bringing in more traffic.

Just wondering how long have you been working to get 500 uniques? Are the traffic targetted?

[Roman]

My view on a high traffic site is this:

28,571,429 page views/month.

Now why 28,571,429 page views/month you ask? Simple:

AS records roughly 70% of actual page views due to javascript being disabled or AS ads being blocked so 70% of 28,571,429 page views/month results in 20000000.3 page views/month being recorded by AS which means you can be a premium publisher and that honor means you have a high traffic site.

[SteveAR]

500 is a good start but not high. im sure you can hit the 1k mark soon and then youll be on your way to high traffic.

[uttoransen]

yes, 500 is high, but the you need to keep going up. if all the 500 is comming from the search engines, i think you have a nice prospect in the future! cheers!:D

[alstar70]

How did you get 500 a day?

[qwestcommunications]

It depends on the niche the site is in.

[SFOD_D223]

That could be a substantial figure for a day.

100k uniques a month is low? Good god man, I would love to have that.

[kh7]

500 visitors a day is not a high traffic site. I'd say at least 10.000 a day makes a reasonably high traffic site, but as people have said: google, yahoo and amazon really go far above that.
For me - I have 4000 visitors a day, and my target for the end of this year is 6000. That's decent traffic, but I'm sure there are sites in my niche that top that.

what is your site ?

[anurag_online]

Very good point. It's all relative. I'd like to get 5K/day asap.

[Marty Rogers]

It's not a high traffic site.

500 is a good start though, keep at it and watch it go up up up. I'm currently at 8,000+ a day and growing fast but i still wouldn't consider that a high traffic site.

Good luck to you! :)

[jabb]

Its all about the niche, i would rather have a site about debt consolidation that gets 1000 targeted uniques a day than a site about online games that gets 20,000 targeted uniques a day. Some sites are easy to build traffic, generally these are the sites which don't have as much earning potential though.

[Working Nomad]

You don't even need 500 visitors a day to make good money. I would put more emphasis on quality traffic that converts.

[Kaptain Kangaroo]

nice to see some people think over 1000 is high, but that seems low to me now. always looking for more unique visitors :D

[Janna122003]

If it's a new blog and you get that unique traffic. I consider it high traffic.

[Mr Skyline]

It depends on the niche the site is in.

For me this is the key ... it could very well be high traffic in your niche ... depends how popular your niche is.

[procrastinator]

500 is a start although anything less than four figures is bad

[Connections]

i would say 10k-15k uniques a day is high traffic

500 is low to medium imo...depending on niche but...

500 would be low on a MSRS,

[djrishi]

I hope 500 unique visits is good for small sites. Certainly not for big guys.

[gogiants]

500 it is a lots

[tomten]

500 unique per day is a good start and lots of traffic for a personal site. But I think that 5000 is a lot. And 10 000 is more than a lot.

If you have 500 unique per day you will get descent adsense money. I am currently at 100 unique per day and I am getting a hit on adsense every day.

[Aragorn]

If you ask me, I'll say that it is a very high traffic. On the other hand, if you ask Shawn, his opinion may be different :D

[funforums]

im getting 6k to 7k UNIQUES visitors per day or more and 15 to 16k pageviews per day .. working hard to get 10k hits in one day :P

[mbomb]

For the people getting 500+ uniques per day...is your site generating a good revenues and net profits? Over $100/day? Just curious. My goal is to reach $4k/month within 8-12 months, but it sounds like most people think that it will take many years to reach that level.

Mike

[ajenterp]

Earning $4k a month takes a lot of hard work and patience. Depending on your niche and/or quality targeted traffic it is possible... however I wouldn't count on it.... if you have some cash it can help speed up the process with PPC and outsourcing but IMO... if you don't have the $$$ then put your time to work for you and get writing some unique content. Good luck.

[SFOD_D223]

500UV's is kinda low for MFA type arbitrage sites. You need to get a helluva lot mre people to get there and click your adsense.

[kodut]

well i get 500-800 uniques on my free blog

[SFOD_D223]

It depends - if it's a free blog it's a pretty good start, but it isn't what would really be considered as high. High is thousands to someone like me, tens of thousands to most of the other people here on DP.

Just as a general question. How much do you spend on having a site get tens of thousands of visitors? I'm talking from a development to marketing monthly budget.

[GUESTID]

Depends on with other site you are comparing with .

[peach]

Patiences grasshopper, you must crawl before you can walk and run.

Love that quote :D

[nR.]

Just as a general question. How much do you spend on having a site get tens of thousands of visitors? I'm talking from a development to marketing monthly budget.

Completely depends on the website you want to deliver the traffic too, different markets, different websites require different marketing stratergies. Where I work we have clients with marketing budgets from £1k per month too £100,000 per month.

[nickspain]

i would love five hundred a day to my site, but to be honest i dont know how to find out how many i have been getting, is there a tool for this.my site is linkprank

[worldman]

It depends on the site and how long it has been up. For a site that is only a couple months old yes that is good. If your site is over a year old and still getting that amount.......somethings wrong.

[dairyman]

I consider that traffic as great because I am getting less than that for my one year old site. Hope it improves further :)

[worldman]

BTW how are you getting most of your traffic? Care sharing the site URL?

[www.iklanoke.com]

too get 500 is easy, the hard one go from 500 to 1000, so damn hard

[worldman]

Depends on the niche and your advertising stratagy. It can be easy....and it can be real hard.

[JNRCORPS]

500 is a very good start, i have read a few post and some-one was talking about google well google have been around for ages plus with the money that google have they can do all kinds of marketing tricks not to say that they need to do any now.... just keep work at your site and the numbers will go up. every big site had to start some where like myspace google youtube. I have a few sites and i do the same marketing for them all but they all see different numbers in traffic, i think about 10k+ a day is high. but like others have said depends on what your site is about

[dynashox]

500 uniques a day is very good. I received 200+ unique visitors from my new blog. Hope it reach 300 unique visitors after reaching 1 month of operation :)

[Blogspotter]

It it were for Loans or Mortgage refinance, it is awesome. It it were for jokes or funny pictures, than it is sad. :)

[dam_sid]

Not bad, keep it up you would get really higt traffic soon......
